"NEW" Graphic Warehouse is Under Construction.
Why would the MD be plumbing, plastering, painting, screening, fitting kitchens and toilets?
Because our team allows me the freedom to step out of the business and focus on our “NEW” Graphic Warehouse.
I’m sure many would advise that I should have delegated to contractors, but there were many timing factors outside our control. Plus, finding trade professionals was very challenging without having defined dates—I didn’t know the factory’s purchase date. Once it was finalised, it was all go, but contractors could not commit to my timescales, so I had to work out what I could do myself to keep other contractors moving forward.

Better Workflow and Customer Benefits.
Our “NEW” Graphic Warehouse is coming along rapidly (now), and you can see the benefits it will bring to our customers with a much better workflow. This allows us to implement some benefits that the customer will not see but experience (more on this subject later on).
If You Want it Done Quick... Do It Yourself!
In order to get the next piece of work completed (and I can’t wait on tradesmen), I’ve done the bits I can do myself. Questionable by many business owners but I need it done quickly, so here we have almost 100m of plasterboard taped, filled then sanded and the top painted, ready for the suspended ceiling contractor to start as soon as the last board is screwed on.
Clearly, I have not done all this myself. Steel contractors, electricians and networking are not my areas of expertise but over the years I have acquired “tools in my toolbox” that I have been able to utilise and I’ll have a go at anything (I was parasailing last weekend).
More to Updates to Follow...
This week, I have half completed the plumbing in the kitchen, but only while the team around me runs our business without me.
Watch This Space…
