JamieP Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Between me and my partner our building firm is very easy to run and we want to get into something else to run along side the building firm but not sure what yet. Looking for some ideas? what does your boss do and make a fortune at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Plumbing... fortune in that, and would go along with the building side qute well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I thought the market was flooded with plumbers (no pun intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I have a full time plumber already and running around sorting him out all the time is a pita, having 5 or 6 would just be a nightmare i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 how about sparky or chippy then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 probably. but if your a builder you can go "we also do plumbing..." "i know a good plumber if/when you need one..." etc I do that now, its all part of the building, no job to small and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 hum my dad had carpenters but no electricians or plumbers. hehe. How about building a gocart track. there was an ace one in rotherham. all you need is a big empty warehouse (plenty about now people are going bust) a crapload of tyres and some gocart. sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 How about property redevelopment, prices have never been lower, do them up and wait for the prices to increase in the coming year (2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I have them aswell, my building firm is wrapped up. I think what you're trying to say is that your business firm doesn't need adding to it? I often wonder this but would rather be doing something I enjoy than something that I need to put loads of effort in to make a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 How about property redevelopment, prices have never been lower, do them up and wait for the prices to increase in the coming year (2010) Thats a good one. Gocarts sounds more fun tho I'd love to design a gocart track. Whack in a 2nd level into the warehouse for multi level fun I could make the best track ever. Let me know if you want to do that idea jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Buying a run down house doing up to nice spec then sell or rent / converting large house into flats Doesnt that come under the building part already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRACIE_LOU Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Perhaps a background on what interests you would help... or is it simply a money maker regardless of if you enjoy it or not??....You say something to run alongside so does that mean you want to keep in the same lines as your building company? or something totally different?

Animal Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 How about getting some land and setting up a quad bike paintballing course. Couple of front mounted paintball guns with trigger switches on the handlebars - got to be a winner. Insurance might be a killer, though...
