. . . Well. . . Thats it. . . last day as Richard Clarke Painting and Decorating, even though its been in the pipeline for sometime, didnt really sink in till the stickers come off the van, and stood back and thought "she's all over". . . Well. . to a degree.
Bang on 30 years since starting up, and to be honest, loved every bit of it, met plenty of great clients, which turned in to great friends, done some varied and interesting jobs. . . And tried to maintain the highest possible standard.
A big thank you to all clients, friends and especially to Sideshow Steve (Steve Turner) for being either a full time or part time subbie for 14 plus years.
And to Carolyn Goob Garwood NeeGaby who now retires from book-keeping duties, hope you enjoy your redundancy payoutπ€π€£
As of Monday, its over to Beardwood Pty. Ltd. as "Head" Painter, or as stated buy some, Richard "Dick"-Head Painter, (surely a better title is in the works, which I've been assured, it isπ€£). But really want to thank Luke Beardwood and Emma Beardwood for taking a bit of a punt, and setting all this up, to establish a high end painting group, as part of their ever expanding, excellently run company, with great staff/employees.
I will endeavor to bring all the experience/knowledge i have and pass this on to the next generation of apprentices, to help keep the trade in good quality painters.
Thanks
