HI From Andy The Handyman
HI All
I am currently starting up a new Handyman business in my Town, Keswick in the lake district. My venture started back 3 years ago when I decided to give up the Alcohol and looked to replace the gap that was left. I have always been a bit of a handyman dablling in a few things. My first project was some custom shelved to fit a random corner in my flat i then progressed to a custom fitted wardrobe then a bed for my son. Then Keswick was flooded in 2015 it shock the town as it thrives on its tourism and as i had a van i decided to help out offering free Man with a Van services. This then took off as a part time business and the enjoyment of helping people out was so much rewarding than my current job. When helping move things about I started building up my Tool box for taking beds apart etc. I was getting asked by people if i could also fit certain items like washing machines and even construct flat pack items. This has now grown as a Part time business and its paying for its way and I looking at expanding to a full time business hopefully within a year. With being called and people just naturally called me Handy Andy so i thought of the name ANDIY for my company name which seams to work. Things are happening but it is slow as its hard to devote full time as i have a full time work and Kids on top of all of this.
Anyway My name is Andy and you will probably be hearing from me shortly

Hi,
Welcome to the forum Andy and may I be the first to wish you all the very best in your new business venture; investing in a business is much better than investing in booze. Good luck.
Kind regards, Col.

Re: HI From Andy The Handyman
Welcome to the forum from one handyman to another. Out of interest why not go with "Handy Andy"?

Re: HI From Andy The Handyman
To be distinctive he would have to be 'Handy Andy MCMXCVIII' given how many across the country have used that moniker
Always nice to hear of those starting out on their own and particularly in examples like Andy's and his contribution to helping the local society during a time of need. Big up mate and welcome.
