We are not having a huge amount of success finding someone to cover Manchester / Liverpool area. As mentioned in this post, a particular customer wants us to provide coverage for them in that area.
The customer is this company:
We have been providing a handyman service in a couple of B&Q stores in London for a while, and B&Q very much want to include handymanning in a range of services that are now available in the Manchester area (alongside cavity wall insulation, flooring, electrical work etc.), and they really, really want us to provide that handyman service.
The way this works is that the customer buys 1,2,4 or 8 hours handymanning in the store, pays for it in the store, then we come round and do the work. DIY stores in the USA have offered this kind of thing for years, and the UK market is going the same way. Anyone who follows B&Q closely will have seen mention of the handyman and other services in B&Q's quarterly announcements.
So we really, really, need to find one or two super-handymen based in the Manchester or Liverpool areas who want to work for us. Please fill out the application form on our website if you might be the person we are looking for.

Bruce - somewhere, in the Greater Manchester area, there will be handymen keen to work as your subcontractors, only you don't know who they are and they don't know that you're looking for them. That is both inefficient and frustrating! How about posting your service request on our website - www.ahoythere.com? Our site is a meeting ground for service users and service providers and one of the business problems we're trying to address is the 'ships passing in the night' scenario of buyers and suppliers failing to make their ideal match. Posting a service request is free and service providers only pay us when they have secured business (no win, no fee). We've not been going long but we do have a firm of handymen registered in the Manchester area who might be very interested in acting as your agent/contractor for B&Q. Good luck!
I found a handyman but i used this site:
ratemytrade.co.uk
Anybody heard of them?
