Question

hello again we live in essex and he travels too london he is qualified city and guilds 2330 but has not part p and he has genearl cscs card and has had lots of remidials but wants somthing a little more fixed with propsects work is just very slow at mo on london sites where he has been working

Answer 1

There is building work going on all the time all around the country. Surely one of the sites must need a sparky. There's a shortage of trades people. All he needs to do is advertise.

Try agencies - morson's one. I think the sun advertise jobs like that. If you'd prefer not to buy such filth you could look on their website.

Answer 2

He's probably tried this, but many small-to-medium sized electrical contracting companies are only too happy to sub out to freelance sparks, often with repetitive work if the rates are good. And believe it or not, sending a portfolio to developers and consultants is quite effective, even as a one-man band. It's not what you know, it's who, in this trade. Encourage him to "network" with developers, consultants, council housing authorities and the like.
