WEFIX puts customers before profit!
When my previous company was sold to a U.S. corporation, it was done in the hope that the new owner would continue the legacy of the brand that was built over a lifetime by my family, and our dedicated staff over more than 40 years. Following the sale in 2021 it quickly became apparent there […]
Labour’s Industrial disaster – blown to smithereens by Trump’s bunker bombs!!
Monday (June 23) was supposed to be the day the UK Government launched its masterful ‘Industrial Strategy’. But the entire was blown to oblivion by $300 million worth of ‘Bunker Buster’ bombs unleashed on Iran from $2 billion worth of B-2 stealth bombers. Not shocked tin-pot strategy was a damp squib! Am I surprised? Of […]
No notes, No nation: Why ditching cash is a dangerous game
It’s easy to think we’re heading towards a cashless society – cards, phones, watches, even your fridge will probably pay for your milk soon. But as far as I’m concerned, cash is king and we should be doing everything we can to make sure it stays that way. Recently, a group of MPs called for […]
The Thought Police Came For Me; I Fought My Corner – Free Speech is the Most Treasured Part of our Democracy and must be Preserved at all Costs!
Yesterday I joined Lord (Toby) Young’s Free Speech Union. It seemed like the right thing to do in the current political climate where you are expected to ‘toe the line’ or else pay the price of being attacked and cancelled by the self-appointed guardians of the truth.

National Insurance Hike?
It’s a Jobs Killer, Not a Money Maker! The Chancellor might think she’s got a clever way to bring in an extra £25 billion by hiking employer National Insurance from 13.8% to 15%, but let me tell you—she’s made a monumental mistake. Businesses won’t just roll over and take the hit. They’ll do what businesses […]
Leaving School at 14 and Jumping Straight into an Apprenticeship is the Best Thing I’ve Heard in Ages!
Opting out of the classroom at 14 and switching to the hands on education of an apprenticeship is a great idea and would be by far the most radical change to vocational skills training in my lifetime. It’s a game-changer for youth unemployment, giving kids the chance to earn, learn, and build real careers right […]
Costa del Sol Community Raises €50,000 to Fund Local Homeless Shelter!
IF YOU believe what people say about the Costa del Sol back in the UK you’d think that the ex-pat community here is a bunch ne’er-do-wells interested only in themselves with no compassion for the country and its people. Anyone who has been here knows that a complete load of bollocks, but the image lives […]
Does anyone care about apprenticeships anymore?
Trust me they really should! This week has been National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) but due to the distinct lack of interest from government and the media most people wouldn’t have a clue it was happening. At my family’s new venture The WeFix Team our MD, Ashley Mullins, who himself served a plumbing apprenticeship, is building […]
The Man with the Golden Sponge sets charity goals
Last year I met this inspiring bloke, Paul Thompson, through friends in Marbella where I live these days. Talk about unstoppable; he’s has fought off the big ‘C’ twice, but isn’t just happy with his own victory, so has worn out a dozen sponges cleaning cars for the two cancer charities that supported him when […]
