Paul@Plays-Kool Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Well folks, after 5 years I've finally decided I need a proper income and to get a life! So to this end I have taken a full time job back in the building industry, from whence I came. I intend to continue supplying carbon/grp goodies & will keep the workshop for this purpose. I may even extend the product range and get the website upto date, you never know I might even have some money to build my car with, so you boys in the speed series best watch out! This does mean however that I won't be doing the service,repair,upgrade, engine swap etc. work. Anyone wanting advice can e-mail me for that, it's free & I think I know what I'm talking about?......then again who knows. If you were considering using the PKM services, please give me a call or mail me as I should be able to help get you sorted with an alternative company. I'd like to say a big thanks to all my customers, all of who I consider friends, you've kept me going for 5 years & I'm grateful. Thanks one & all Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VX2L16V Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I haven't even had a chance to use your expertise yet Best of luck Paul, word of mouth has it that there was no-one better at the repair/upgrade stuff. Glad you'll still be doing carbon though! Regards, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I haven't used your facilities either but I do know how hard and dispiriting a start-up business is. I and two colleagues started a company in 1989 and were working long hours at it for 12 years until we sold it off. The sale value, divided by twelve and added to what we paid ourselves didn't make the annual income anywhere near an Underground driver's wage, for example. And no pension either. There's no fortunes in that kind of hard work. Good Luck in your efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.anson Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Paul, I fully understand your decision, at the end of the day you have to earn a decent crust. However I think I can speak for all of us who have met you and used your services, that your customer service/help and advice is second to none. You have an excellent reputation within the club, and I think its a shame that you have had to give it up full time. Glad to hear you will continue suppliying carbon/grp parts etc. Dont know what else to say, but good luck for the future. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure you aren't going to escape your "customers" that easily though, so perhaps you should consider a disguise when venturing down pit lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
