20+ years hiring in London construction. I'll say the quiet part out loud.

Most people don't lose the job because they can't do the work. They lose it because they talk themselves out of it in the first 5 minutes.

‾‾‾‾‾‾

1. They slag off the old boss. "I worked there 10 years and now they are going bust." Mate, that company paid your wages. Fed your family. Maybe helped when you were skint. If you talk about them like rubbish, I'm already thinking: that's me in two years.

2. They don't know who they called. CVs fired everywhere, no checking, no clue about company, trade or location. I joke: "Sorry mate, we are a spaceship company." Back comes: "Oh sorry, I am after carpentry." If you can't check who you rang, why trust you with drawings, RAMS or a tight programme?

3. They take offence at normal questions. A question isn't an attack. If I ask about experience, gaps or tickets, I am trying to see where you fit. Good candidates answer clearly. Weak ones get defensive and ruin it themselves.

4. They don't know what job they want. "I can do anything, but I want carpenter money." Or: "I can be PM, site manager, supervisor, fixer, labourer, even help the cleaner." Flexibility is good. Confusion is not. Pick a lane.

5. They only want an offer to squeeze the current boss. Get it, run back and say: "Match it or I am gone." Short game. Construction is small. People remember. Burn the bridge today and you may need it tomorrow.

6. They lecture the interviewer. One simple question turns into a 20-minute podcast about how the industry should work and every previous boss was wrong. I don't need your life story. I need straight answers: what have you done, where, and what can you do?

7. They open with money. First 10 seconds: "How much you paying?" Money matters. Nobody works for fresh air. But before I understand your experience, slow down. Show value first. Then we talk money properly.

8. They talk in slogans. "Hard-working." "Reliable." "Team player." Everyone says that. Nobody says, "I am lazy and unreliable." Tell me one job, one problem you sorted, one system you know. Specifics beat slogans.

9. They big up the CV until it becomes fantasy. "Supervisor" because they once organised two lads. "Site manager" because they held the drawings. "Cladding expert" but cannot explain the basics. On site, the truth comes out. Better to say: "I haven't done it yet, but I will learn."

10. They forget the interview starts before the interview. Late replies. Missed calls. No CV. No location. No availability. Then they wonder why nobody calls back. The interview starts from the first message.

I have seen strong CVs lose because of attitude.

I have seen less experienced lads get a chance for being straight, respectful and honest.

Skills get you noticed. Behaviour gets you trusted.

In construction, trust is not a bonus. Trust is the job.

Every employer has a number 11.

P.S.

Some candidates will get annoyed, not because it's wrong, but because it sounds familiar.

La munca .... in Manchester, UK 💪

Caut astazi 3 supervisori cu experienta reala in fatade, facade installations, glazing, curtain walling si cladding, pentru lucrari/proiecte in Londra.
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾

Nu sunt agentie. Sunt Toni Timis, Director la T&D Glazing and Installation Limited, firma reala din UK, si raspund personal la telefon.

Astazi sunt disponibil la telefon intre 07:00 si 21:30.

Iau in considerare si teamleaderi, working supervisors sau fixeri care au coordonat o echipa mica si stiu ce inseamna sa tina lucrarea in mana, nu doar sa spuna altora ce sa faca.

Pentru mine conteaza mult omul care a lucrat candva la scule. Un fixer sau fixermate care a crescut natural intelege altfel santierul, echipa, materialele, presiunea, respectul si felul in care trebuie vorbit cu oamenii.

Acest anunt este separat de celelalte anunturi postate recent. Acelea raman valabile. Aici vorbim despre 3 lucrari/proiecte diferite in Londra, unde echipele au ajuns intr-un punct aglomerat si este nevoie de extra support pentru managementul de santier, instalare si logistica/materiale.

Nu este obligatoriu sa incepi azi sau maine. Discutam in functie de disponibilitatea ta si de ce se potriveste pentru ambele parti.

Cum procedam:

Ma suni sau imi trimiti SMS. Vorbim direct.

Tu ma intrebi despre lucrare, locatie, echipa, task-uri si conditii. Eu te intreb lucrurile pe care normal le-as cauta intr-un CV, ca sa inteleg experienta ta si daca se potriveste cu ce avem nevoie acum.

Banii, locatia exacta, task-urile si toate detaliile le discutam la telefon, d**a ce vedem amandoi daca are sens colaborarea.

Daca ma suni si nu raspund, cel mai probabil sunt deja in discutie cu alt om interesat. Trimite-mi un SMS scurt cu numele tau, ce faci si ora la care poti vorbi, iar eu revin.

Exemplu:
“Supervisor, ma numesc [nume], am experienta in [fatade/glazing/cladding], sunt interesat. Nu pot vorbi acum. Suna-ma d**a ora [ora].”

Rugaminte, cu respect: acest anunt este pentru oameni cu experienta in fatade, facade installations, glazing, curtain walling si cladding. Daca lucrezi in alt domeniu, nu este anuntul potrivit.

Si va rog, fara mesaje de tip “cat dai?” sau “detalii?” fara nume, fara experienta si fara context. O colaborare serioasa incepe cu o prezentare serioasa.

Mult respect pentru oamenii care stiu meseria, au muncit in teren si inca isi tin cuvantul.

P.S. Foarte important pentru noi:
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾

Managerul/ Supervisorul/ teamleaderul potrivit pentru T&D conduce prin exemplu, nu doar prin functie.

Dimineata ajunge primul. Oamenii trebuie sa il gaseasca deja acolo cand vin la munca, sa ii intampine, sa le raspunda la salut si sa inceapa ziua organizat, cu respect si calm.

La sfarsitul programului pleaca ultimul, d**a ce toti oamenii au terminat, au facut sign out si au plecat. Le spune simplu: “multumesc, o seara placuta, ne vedem maine”.

Da, acest timp se plateste corect. Dar stilul acesta de lucru este obligatoriu la noi.

Daca esti genul de supervisor care prefera sa vina mai tarziu sau sa plece mai devreme doar pentru ca “lucrarea merge”, probabil nu suntem compania potrivita pentru tine. Nu o spun cu rautate, o spun ca sa fie clar de la inceput.

27/04/2026

We are hiring façade fixers and mates for glass and metal façade installation, including curtain walling / unitised systems, across multiple sites in London.

For details and a phone interview:
07400 900900

Rates will be agreed following a phone conversation or, if preferred, after a site visit. This allows both sides to confirm the role meets expectations and that we are a good fit to work together.

We are not a recruitment agency. We are a façade installation company.

LONDON TRAVEL WARNING - TUBE STRIKES THIS WEEK
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
If you are in London this week, do not think it is only tomorrow.

Tube strike action is planned across 4 days this week:Tuesday 21 AprilWednesday 22 AprilThursday 23 AprilFriday 24 April

The two main strike periods are:Tuesday 21 April to Wednesday 22 AprilandThursday 23 April to Friday 24 April

That means:Wednesday 22 April - difficult morning, delays, reduced service, crowding, and disruption continuing into the afternoonThursday 23 April - more normal earlier in the day, then disruption builds before the next strike starts around middayFriday 24 April - difficult again in the morning, with delays and disruption continuing after midday as services recover

TfL says the Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground and Trams should still run, and most buses should also run, but they will likely be much busier than usual.

So the practical message is simple:this is not a one-day problem.Check before you leave, leave earlier, and have a second route ready.

“Looking for an accountant - who would you recommend?”
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
One of the laziest business questions you see online.

◌
Quite often, the question says more about the person asking than about the accountant.

Because many people want to choose the person who keeps their business in order based on three Facebook comments and two tags from strangers.
Which is basically pure luck.

A good accountant for me may be a poor fit for you.
And vice versa.

The best accountant is not the one people praise in a group.
It is the one who fits you, your level, the way you work, and what you actually want from your business.

But here is the part many people miss:
you are not just looking for an accountant, you also need to learn a little about what you are looking for.

So yes, go and speak to 5-10 accountancy firms or 5-10 individual accountants.
Face to face or on Zoom.
Say it clearly:
“I’m speaking to several and I’ll decide at the end.”

That is not rude.
It is selection.

After 2-3 conversations, you are no longer completely out of your depth.
You start to understand what to ask, what to compare, who speaks clearly, who is selling you nonsense, who does not want you as a client - and you can even ask why - and who is simply dressing things up nicely.

And there is something else, very simple:
attend 2-3 free seminars, webinars or presentations run by institutions, accountancy firms, or tax specialists.

Maybe you do not feel confident enough to raise your hand and ask questions.
That is fine.
Sit there and listen.

You hear other people’s questions, you see what problems they have, and you pick up answers that help you as well.
These days, a lot of information is almost handed to you.
You just have to stop being too lazy to go and get it.

And one more thing many people forget:
your accountant is not Google with a pulse.

If, after choosing them, you keep calling with questions that have nothing to do with what you agreed, or things you could have found yourself in three minutes, then pay them.
They eat.
They pay for electricity, gas, rent.
They have working hours.

So you have two options:
either you leave it to chance, go by recommendations, and then complain afterwards,
or you get involved a little, listen, compare, learn, and choose properly.

Yes, you can still get it wrong that way.
But at least you are getting it wrong while being smarter than you were yesterday.

That is already a different level.

Good luck!!!

We need 8 window fixers and 6 fixermates in Manchester, M15 5FJ, for a new unitised system project.
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
The project starts on 20 April, but we will not bring all 14 people on board at once, only gradually: first 2 fixers and 2 mates on brackets, then after 2-3 weeks another 4 fixers and 4 mates in the unit installation team, and so on throughout May and June. At some point, the team will become quite large.

The project will last approximately 12 months, but in October we are starting another one as well, so our presence in Manchester will be significant.

For details, please call Tatiana:
+44 7467 838881

If you do not get an answer immediately, please do not worry, as she may already be in a conversation with another decent person like yourself. 100%, when time allows, Tatiana returns missed calls and replies to messages.

To make it easier, you can also send a text message like:
"Mitica Popescu, fixer/fixermate, interested, available, would like to discuss details."

The hourly rate is discussed privately. We prefer to speak directly, clarify the details, and see whether we are compatible to work together.

We are not an agency and we do not display our offers publicly, but they start from £42,000 per year and upwards.

Anyone who prefers to speak directly with me can call me or send me a text message, and I will get back to you when I can. However, if you have already called the first number, please do not call or message me as well, unless you feel that things were not fully clarified from a professional point of view.

The best managers I have worked with did not start out believing they could lead.

For over 20 years in construction, I have seen very capable people hold themselves back for one simple reason:

they carried the wrong label about themselves for too long.

“I am just a fixer.”
“Management is not for me.”
“I would rather keep my head down and do my job.”
“I am good on the tools, but probably not suited for much beyond that.”

And yet, I have seen that same type of person grow into some of the most valuable people in a business.

Teamleaders.
Supervisors.
Site managers.
Project managers.
Trusted people that teams rely on when pressure is high and the job needs pushing forward.

Not because someone gave them confidence first.

Because they kept turning up.
They kept learning.
They stayed steady.
They took responsibility.
They solved problems.
They earned trust.

In construction, titles mean very little on their own.

What matters is whether the person can handle pressure, communicate clearly, keep standards high, and help move a project forward when it counts.

That is why I have always respected people who started on the tools and worked their way up properly.

They understand the work.
They understand site pressure.
They understand the team.
And when they lead well, they do not lead from theory.

They lead from experience.

Some of the strongest managers I have known were people who, at one stage, thought they were “just” a fixer or “just” on the tools.

They were wrong.

The label was wrong.
Not the person.
