Can't believe this weather we've been having this December - we've completed road overlays with 50pen material wearing T shirts, unheard of for December. I'm sure we will pay for this in Jan/Feb/Mar though.........

Praying for a bit of a freeze come early Jan really....got a groundworks job to do for 3 wks or so, so a little stable ground would be handy. First year for a while that we've gone into a new year with a healthy order book. Hope it stays that way for the summer too.

we're the same.first time for many years that we go into the n.y with a shit load of work.

the big issue for us in 2012 is avoiding the bad debtors.

Same here bobbi, the bigger jobs we now go staged payments, cut down on the risk. We don't work for anybody we are unsure of, look at Connaught back along, to all intents and purposes they looked a safe bet.......
