It is a strange old world now.
Times are hard but certain people are still spending. Had the best January for many years with 2 full installs and 9 boiler changes along with other stuff. Booked up until mid March.
Long may it continue.

Hi Hi just wanted to say thanks for all your good posts and would like to ask you how easy you found it approaching BG for subbie work. Iv got my ACS exams next week and all being well i will have CCN1 CEN1 CKR1 HTR1 CPA1. When you approached them did you have any experience. I have been working with a BG subbie to build my portfolio but he has been there for donkies and cant remember that far back too much sniffing the gas i think! so he cant really help. I have transport and FGA and been building my tool bag up over the last few months. My main concern is BG or any big firms wanting years of experience before even considering me for there service work.

Thanks

Cant remember if they asked how much experience I had, but I had to do an online test, then go down to one of their training centers and do a practical assesment whilst someone watched over me. Which involved general safety checks and fault finding on a boiler. Once All that was passed, on my first day with them I was followed around by one of their senior engineers to make sure I knew what I was doing.

Im sure on their website there is an application form you can fill in and they will get back to you.
