Superb here but then sex always sells.

sti-04!!

Up 24% on last year.

Odds on

Do you work for the Inland Revenue/VAT? If so, business is sh!te. Haven't made a penny for months.

If you work for my bank, business is superb. Never better. Fancy approving a cheeky 1/2million loan against our "not going anywhere" Limited company?

JTaylor

12% up on last year over the last three months.

Matteeboy

Very good indeed.

Can't imagine anyone admitting it's all going wrong somehow!

fast bloke

Its all going horribly wrong - Have you seen what the strength of the pound is doing to wheelbarrow importers :-(

Sonic'

And just look at the CSA <opens can of worms>

We are doing, erm ok I think, could be busier, but that is about to hit us pretty hard as we line up for the school holidays (always our busiest time of the year)

We should in theory be busier than last year as all the schools left everything really late, in fact too late in some cases so we ended up relatively quiet

We make construction equipment and lots of other stuff, business is excellent, its down in the US due to a depressed housing market and a slow economy but in the ROW its booming and we are struggling to cope with orders......

As a company we have made a slight switch, losing one of our biggest customers this year means it will always be a struggle - however as one door closes etc.

We are now going back into diary printing and manufacturing, still producing the bespoke work for hotels / west end stores etc, but a nice order landed pretty much straight away after losing our customer. We are never going to be millionaires in our game, but if we can pay ourselves a respectable wage each month and we enjoy what we do then bring it on.

Gutmann pug

We have to subsidise our OUK distributors due to the strength of the pound but overall we are up 4% on last year

Paul3446

Apparently Subaru main dealers are about to see a massive downturn in sales!

BlkKnight

Very busy here - been growing about 10% p/a for the last 5 years

j4ckos mate

Longjing

Another boom year for corporate activity too.

Luan Pra bang

similar turnover but massively more from companys very big drop in people paying for themselves.

bonerp

I may be made redundant in the coming months as I've been displaced. Need ideas on what to do next!

BlkKnight

Fitness equipment (one of the few trades that do well in a recession)

Haulage amongst other things
