So I have had my head down in paperwork for weeks now and just updating general things within the business but I have seen a lot on linked in about good businesses closing. Constant rises in everything every few months while not being able to get any more is business su***de, there is definite profiteering from situations and any thought of small companies like us trying to increase costs just sees the work go overseas. Every year we see margins get lower due to cheap overseas material and labour even though the quality is never matched and while we have always tried to be fair and as long as we are all in profit I have been happy to work with our customers on costings, this being said where do we all see this country in 18 months. I dont see it mentioned on the TV because of constant distractions or war and sports and government turmoil but everywhere I look i see businesses closing and empty industrial units.
