Why don't you bite the bullet and go off on your own,there must be a good call for grp repairs on the South coast.It will be tough to start,be when you get established,you wont look back.Be your own boss,make the money for yourself. :) :)
Anyhow,good luck in what ever you do. :P :P :P :P

I agree with Dave, I've never been bright enough or brave enough to set up on my own, but you could make a success of it. I realise the tone of my last post was pretty pessimistic, obviously if its what you want to do I wish you all the best, I'd just spent several hours on Friday hearing about how Rolls suppress their staff and how they treat each other.

Russ,you don't need to be bright or brave,just good at what you do,so people will come to you.I admit it wont be easy,but the benefits of working for yourself are many,believe me.

I agree with the above, should you get the apprenticeship (with skills like yours there shouldn't be any issues with that!) then maybe use the apprenticeship money to help subsidise starting up doing GRP stuff on your own... that way you get paid to get some qualifications and have something to fall back on if the GRP bit doesn't come off.

The key is not to stay in any one company/place for too long. Have your next move kind of planned in your head before you take on a new appointment. I really really wish I'd known this when I started out.

Currently on ebay at £3100, I'm visualising a low budget attempt at the land speed record. Alternatively, do you think it would pass SVA/IVA?
