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.

Handymen needed in Manchester / Liverpool / M62 corridor
Interesting development today. A key customer of ours is very keen that we provide coverage for them in Manchester and Liverpool. They have obviously looked at the local competition, but have decided they'd rather use us (even though we don't cover those cities at the moment), which is very flattering
So we are going out on a bit of a limb and will hire one (or maybe more) handymen to cover this area.
Such a person would have to be super-self-sufficient and able to work very much on their own. Popping into the office in Battersea to catch up with the gossip wouldn't really be an option. But we could maybe stretch to getting them down for the summer go-karting.
If this might be you, fill out our application form and send it directly to me (my first name [at] 0800handyman.co.uk). We'll be interviewing next week.
