Lately people have been telling me they are seeing a lot more WEFIX London vans about the place in London than the once common Pimlico Plumbers chariots.

That’s me reporting what I’m being told, and it seems to match up with something else I’m hearing through the plumbers’ grapevine that my old firm has parked up fifty odd vans of late as work has dried up for them.

It’s no wonder they have called in the heavy mob (consultants) to figure out why the once market leading company is now struggling for booking and laying off engineers due to a lack of work.

The answer of course is simple. Run your business for your customers, not in a way that suits you and your team. Don’t fire all your apprentices, don’t stop providing the 24-hour service your advertising promises, stop DBS vetting your engineers and switch the operation to a franchise model that means the company has no control on who turns up on a customer’s doorstep.

By contrast at WEFIX London we’re still breaking records for work completed and sales achieved, an amazing feat in the midst of the UK’s fourth heatwave of the summer.

Well done everyone at WEFIX London! Keep up the extraordinary work!
