KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Working further away from home is more time-consuming, so that needs to be factored in.
  • Making sure you´ve got all the kit and materials you need is vital. If you have forgotten something, finding it in an area you don´t know is stressful.
  • Winning awards helps your brand and reputation.
  • The way many industry-award systems work makes it incredibly hard for small companies or sole traders to win. 
  • Using social media is a good way to grow for any business, including those involved in the preservation industry.

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“Last week’s job was probably the hardest yet.”

“If you can win an award …. it's something that you can put on social media, and it helps your company.”

“They’re a bit prehistoric when it comes to innovation.”

“There are more pros than minuses to having a big following on social media.”
