I will be moving up north to Burnley/manchester area this year. Been in the game for 25 years nowfirst 15 as a spread and a taper since. Had my own business in Dorset for 10 years but making the move to be with family. Just trying to see what the prospects are for getting work up here both site and private? I have all tools,cards and transport. Thanks guys in advance

Somehow this post was missed...? Anyhoo. Welcome to the site Paul, I personally don't know any contractors from that area but hopefully some tapers from around the NW of England may be able to help you out.

Thanks mate. Seems there's not many on here from nw. At mo I'm up here weekends but still running business down south, so much work down there right now sites going up everywhere but I dømt see that many up around here so was just wondering how tough it is really.

You're right, its mostly the tapers from Scotland or the South Coast, or oven overseas who post comments.
I just hope I havent pissed off half of Manchester because of the David Moyes jokes I was posting mid season.
