Can SE help you through the Credit Crunch?

Post by Dominic » Mon Feb 09, 2009 8:02 pm

Further to the 'services up for grabs' thread, I thought it may be a good time to see if SE'rs can help each other out a bit.

If you want, post up what you do, where you are based and what sort of work you are looking for, on behalf of yourself or your employer. I know some SE'rs already do business together, so maybe we can grow that a little to help us all through these tougher times.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a service or product, why not post up, and see if anyone has a recomendation or contact.

I'll kick off;

I am self employed, working as an accountant & tax consultant. I look after sole traders, partnerships and small businesses. Based in Glasgow, I have clients located all across the central belt. I'm looking for anyone from a taxi driver or a labourer to small businesses / shops etc. If you hear of anyone starting up in business, or commenting on requiring tax advice, then an introduction would be much appreciated. :thumbsup

Good idea.
Web Developer
Erica (my other half) is a web developer with a few years industry experience, becoming self employed as of now following redundancy and lack of jobs.

She has worked on everything from estate agency sites to gift craft websites, with everything from content management, e-commerce and events calendars to simple web sites and newsletters.
Based in Dundee, but will travel to meet clients.

She is also working with a kick designer. They have worked together for a good few years and work together well.

Contact me for examples of their work and/or to get in contact with her.

Hi all, good idea Dominic. I'll keep this short though...

I have a small building company. We take on anything from hanging doors to full house builds and everything in between - here's a link to my website for more details http://www.lindsayjoineryservices.co.uk

Have been in business for 15 years. Most of our work is in the Lanarkshire area or Central Belt. And I'm pleased to say we're already doing a project as we speak for a fellow SE'r!

I'm your man for architectural stuff! :thumbsup

Self-employed, with 20 years experience in a pretty wide range of areas, domestic and commercial. Based in Inverclyde, but distance isn't an issue. Commendations for design work.

Business is looking a bit uncertain this year, and I have a broken Lotus/C-service due, so SE discount negotiable :lol:

Edit: make this thread a sticky, perhaps?

Great idea for a thread Dom.

Everyone - to make it easier to look through, please keep comments off and PM posters for more information. To keep it simple, I'll delete any chat or requests from this post onward - makes it so much easier to use the thread.

might be worth making the job title big and bold as I have done to aid readability further?

Shug - sorry for adding this comment, maybe you can edit your post and delete mine if you think this is a good idea?

At present the crunch hasn't had much of an effect in the rail industry, but I know that's not the case for everyone.

To help an SE'r through the tough times I do have a bit of mechanical experience, some tools and a garage with a pit for any minor works that might be required.

Anything that can't be fixed in an evening or day would need to go to folk in the industry as the garage is also home to my 7.

You'd probably be better staying away from my professional business but.....

I also have a pit, air tools, K locking tool, cut down socket etc etc for anyone wanting to use them - FOC of course.
