Speaker 11467.08s - 469.02s

Ben PERSON set up a waste management side of business,

Speaker 6469.16s - 470.32s

which started four years ago.

Speaker 11470.68s - 472.4s

So a good journey since then, really.

Speaker 3472.44s - 472.94s

We're not both, yeah.

Speaker 6473.68s - 474.58s

Do you still do the waste?

Speaker 11474.72s - 475.68s

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 6475.84s - 477.52s

So the waste is the staple side,

Speaker 11477.86s - 481.08s

and then we started wanting to expand our services, and then we got into the cleaning.

Speaker 3481.32s - 486.34s

So we're just slowly building up that as well. So in terms of waste, has been taking away our whole furniture bits and pieces like that? Yeah. Everything.

Speaker 11486.48s - 494.86s

All right. Super. You guys, do you watch the podcast? We don't know. We don't.We do now. We do now. Especially if our faces on it. I'll be like.

Yep. So we've been over at Sea Julian Market ORG.

Speaker 3506.86s - 520.9s

You've got the vacuum systems. We bought one of the gutter hovers, which we just needed a longer hose for. So we've got the extended hose of a hose bag. And then we're looking at, obviously, the Kenware stuff I've got today.Big shout out to Chris and Angie, who run Kenware ORG. We've just got this off them,

Speaker 5520.98s - 523.72s

so we're really, really pleased with the quality and the design.

Speaker 6523.86s - 525.94s

Yeah, we've got coats and hats and T-shirts.

Speaker 5526.08s - 534.18s

So, yeah, we're looking for, probably now we're probably looking at vesting a bit more in the soft-wash inside. So maybe there's some softwash equipment that we can use.

Speaker 3534.82s - 540.04s

But yeah. It's constantly expanding, isn't it? It's like you can almost never stop with her. And same as a checkbook. It's constantly going out.

Speaker 11541.82s - 544.02s

What's the highest value job ever?

Speaker 3544.94s - 546.06s

Oh, blimey

Speaker 6546.06s - 548.14s

what

Speaker 3548.14s - 550.34s

a cleaning size

Speaker 11550.34s - 551.24s

cleaning or waste

Speaker 3551.24s - 552s

or in one go

Speaker 11552s - 557.68s

anything like that I mean we do we do several several big domestic projects at four or five thousand probably

Speaker 2557.68s - 558.78s

nothing too

Speaker 9558.78s - 559.74s

nothing too

Speaker 2559.74s - 560.98s

too big it's good though for domestic

Speaker 0560.98s - 568s

but most roofs and that you get a couple of thousand that's pretty much our limit. We haven't really hit into anything like a mega.

Speaker 3568s - 569.28s

No, that's the other. Yeah.

Speaker 11569.28s - 570.32s

No, no.

Speaker 3570.32s - 571.28s

Yeah.

Speaker 11571.28s - 573.92s

All right, if you could start again, would you stay in the same industry?

Speaker 3573.92s - 574.4s

Yeah.

Speaker 11574.4s - 575.36s

Yeah.

Speaker 3575.36s - 576.32s

Yeah.

Speaker 11576.32s - 577.28s

Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 3577.28s - 581.28s

Like it that much. Yeah. OCD helps with the clean, you know what I mean?

Speaker 6581.28s - 592.12s

And being ex-military, like I was just saying to the guys over at gut a vacuum, I was asking for like a nozzle, but that's again OCD because I like to, everything has to be immaculate.

Speaker 0592.5s - 593.7s

How I would have it in my own house.

Speaker 4593.7s - 594.82s

Job satisfaction, basically.

Speaker 3595.04s - 598.78s

Yeah, because it's nice for the client to say, you can confidently say,

Speaker 8598.88s - 600.48s

you're not going to have any problems.

Speaker 3600.78s - 603.54s

Yeah, of course, yeah, and you can offer that service because you're meticulous.

Speaker 8603.72s - 604.46s

Yeah, you're meticulous.

Speaker 3604.54s - 604.98s

I like it.

Speaker 6605.6s - 607.94s

Speaker 13615.48s - 617.32s

So scrape or low pressure clean?

Speaker 0617.32s - 617.88s

What do you prefer?

Speaker 11617.88s - 618.68s

Oh, low pressure.

Speaker 6618.68s - 619.68s

Low pressure, yeah.

Speaker 11619.68s - 623.52s

Like we started scraping and then you just don't get the same results, so yes, you need

Speaker 3623.52s - 625.12s

to boilers and better equipment.

Speaker 11625.12s - 629.44s

It's worth investing the money to get the better result and to do it and to do it quicker.

Speaker 3629.44s - 632.24s

In theory, you got to start from one stage and then you work your way up,

Speaker 6632.24s - 634.4s

and it's like what we've done with cluster jobs.

Speaker 11634.4s - 645.44s

We started from one thing and then we're gradually building up nice and slowly and making sure that all our customers and the care we can provide is just the top notch. But you've got to start from somewhere.

Speaker 6645.44s - 646.64s

Yeah, you have got to start from somewhere.

Speaker 7722.2s - 723.84s

That's where I'm pleased.

Speaker 13723.84s - 725s

This is deadly here, though, isn't it?

Speaker 2738s - 740s

Some of the bits are lovely though, isn't it?

Speaker 3740s - 753.64s

I just say like, to get started, there was a pressure washer there on everything you need with a hose and everything. It 9009 pound and I thought you're out earning money isn't you setting up with a window clean it's not necessarily that difficult really it's the bigger stuff

Speaker 13753.64s - 759.8s

the more money you're getting for a job the higher barrier to entry yeah it's all the added add-ons don't it all bits and pieces

Speaker 3759.8s - 766.1s

you'll jump in for a quick interview yeah yeah well yeah. Hello, everyone. We're joined with Mike.

Speaker 8780.3s - 781.44s

Team Dan or Team Ryan PERSON?

Speaker 3782.16s - 783.24s

That's a tricky one.

Speaker 13783.58s - 784.3s

You're the funny one.

Speaker 11784.9s - 786.24s

Come on. He's got a lot of the knowledge of tech stuff. That's a tricky one. You're the funny one. Yeah, come on!

Speaker 3786.24s - 787.24s

He's got a lot of the...

Speaker 11787.24s - 789.24s

He's got the knowledge, the tech stuff, yeah.

Speaker 3789.24s - 790.24s

He's got the knowledge.

Speaker 2790.24s - 791.24s

But you bounce off well.

Speaker 3791.24s - 794.24s

What's your favourite cleaning service, Mike?

Speaker 2794.24s - 797.24s

Oh, it's going to be really lazy, but porcelain.

Speaker 3797.24s - 799.24s

Yeah, it's just the way they come up.

Speaker 2799.24s - 800.24s

After it's...

Speaker 3800.24s - 802.24s

The service cleaning, the way you go.

Speaker 9802.24s - 803.24s

Yeah, that's what I like to.

Speaker 2803.24s - 805.82s

Right, what's your highest value job ever?

Speaker 3805.92s - 807.68s

I know you've only been going three months. Three months.

Speaker 2808.22s - 810.54s

Oh, $400,000. That's nice.

Speaker 3811.08s - 818.52s

And what was that? That was a patio driveway on a big house, and got a cleaning. Oh, fantastic.

Speaker 2819.06s - 819.64s

Nice and easy.

Speaker 3820.06s - 822.86s

Right, if you could start again, would you stay in the same industry?

Speaker 2823.64s - 828.74s

Yeah, I've borne everyone to death. So I came from a sales background, corporate sort of stuff.

Speaker 3829.9s - 832.26s

And basically, you guys started up, and I was thinking about it.

Speaker 2832.3s - 834.18s

I was watching Jake, Jake Smout PERSON as well.

Speaker 3834.18s - 834.94s

Jake Smout PERSON, he's there?

Speaker 2835.2s - 835.9s

Oh, yeah, there you go.

Speaker 3836.18s - 838.36s

Where is he? He's there? Jake PERSON? Where?

Speaker 2838.56s - 839.32s

Is that Jake Smout PERSON?

Speaker 3839.44s - 839.72s

No.

Speaker 2840.44s - 841.76s

Oh, maybe not.

Speaker 3842.86s - 844.34s

I've got 50% of it's right.

Speaker 2846.36s - 846.52s

Yeah, so I was watching him as well.

Speaker 3848.06s - 848.18s

And so it was like you guys sort of tick me over.

Speaker 2849.74s - 849.86s

I thought the idea of doing washing fix,

Speaker 3851.7s - 852.9s

so maintenance and interior cleaning.

Speaker 2855s - 855.12s

And yeah, just loving it at the minute.

Speaker 3857.54s - 857.92s

I mean, I'm only new, but it's mine.

Speaker 2860.92s - 861.24s

It's going to grow from, it's going to rise or fall based on me.

Speaker 3862.62s - 865.58s

And I'm a grafter anyway. But yeah, it's a big learning curve,

Speaker 2865.7s - 866.42s

a massive learning curve.

Speaker 5866.52s - 866.9s

I didn't realize,

Speaker 3867.02s - 867.86s

you see people go,

Speaker 5867.94s - 868.44s

I'm just going to set up

Speaker 2868.44s - 869.2s

pressure washing company,

Speaker 3869.54s - 870.36s

but actually everything

Speaker 0870.36s - 873.28s

from the brand in, the advertising, the actual graft, the chemicals,

Speaker 3873.7s - 877.58s

the machinery, everything's. There's a lot more in it. The easy part's buying it. Yeah.

Speaker 2877.74s - 879.58s

It's getting the phone to ring. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3880.3s - 882.32s

And just for everyone watching,

Speaker 5882.66s - 886.22s

so you're the pressure wash inside and the clean inside and you have a maintenance band.

Speaker 2886.22s - 888.02s

I'm a friend who's an all-round bit like yourself, but all-round builder.

Speaker 3888.66s - 889.56s

It's not and he can't do.

Speaker 2889.6s - 908.5s

And if you can't do it, he knows a reliable, trustworthy person. Because we set this up primarily, again, two things with trust and reliability. From a personal level, being let down by tradesmen and vicked off. So we're like, right, I'm listening to you guys, it's the same principle you've got. You know, charge a good price, don't rip people off and just be reliable.

Speaker 3908.76s - 910.72s

That's it. That's it. That's the number one.

Speaker 2910.72s - 919.34s

Oh, that's super. You're a cash man or you're a bank transfer? To be fair, you were talking about cash the other day. I've got a lot of cash at the minute, all going in the account, of course.

Speaker 3919.94s - 937.76s

Of course. But I have set it up now where I can just ping them a link, and I've just found out you can take just straight from your phone now, a card straight on your iPhone PRODUCT. Oh, well, okay, yeah. That's easy enough. So I don't it up now where I can just ping them a link and I've just found out you can take just straight from your phone now a card straight on your iPhone. Oh right okay yeah. That's easy enough so I don't like carrying the cash around to be fair. I don't blame me it. It blows away, it gets ruined didn't it? Yeah and like you said they give it to you like it's a dirty secret oh you take cash yeah you know and you're honest so I'd rather

Speaker 2937.76s - 941.28s

have it. It's a funny it definitely is a funny one yeah. Right what do you love most about

Speaker 3941.28s - 945.36s

the cleaning industry? The banter is hilarious.

Speaker 2945.6s - 947.26s

So just J. Today ORG banter with people.

Speaker 3949.08s - 962.24s

Freedom and control. That's my biggest thing. Being years in jobs where I was told what to do, when to do, figures, finance, all that's all that. To then have your own, like your office in your van, you know, and just control.That's the key thing of everything, I think.

Speaker 2963.04s - 965.92s

So do you guys offer roof cleaning, anything like that at the minute?

Speaker 3966.16s - 969.16s

We will be doing, but I didn't want to just jump on it.

Speaker 2969.2s - 975.68s

I wanted to make sure I understood it, make sure I had the right equipment. So I've done a roof's great, which Jesus PERSON nearly killed me.

Speaker 3975.82s - 984.32s

As your shoulders. Yeah, but it's the thing, you watch it on thinking, oh, that looks all right, that's easy. And especially when they speed it off, I think, oh, I can do that. You get two tiles in, you think, why did I start?

Speaker 2985.28s - 989.88s

Yeah, so yeah, that's a massive learning curve. You're going to make any purchases here today? Yes.

Speaker 3990.1s - 992.86s

I need a longer lance because I've been pressure washing like this.

Speaker 2993.24s - 994.54s

Yeah, they're very short, aren't they?

Speaker 3994.54s - 1009.7s

Yeah, so I'm like, no, I need one of them. And a claw for my vacuum to rip the snake things out, you know, in a minute I'm trying to dig them out. But nothing major, I think. Good stuff, good stuff. Right, what about pressure washing are you uh sorry a window washing are you offering

Speaker 21009.7s - 1016.44s

that try not to no i'll do it but i don't really want to get into the window clean inside of it um yeah

Beautiful, that's lovely. It's lovely. If you could start again, would you stay in the same industry?

Pencil jet, fan jet or rinse bar? Pencil jet, bro.

If you use fan jets, you are a serial killer.

Over a Pinscher PRODUCT, yeah.

Speaker 51229.84s - 1230.8s

But not the over the top.

Speaker 101230.8s - 1232.32s

When you say Rinspar PRODUCT, I think like the old,

Speaker 121232.32s - 1233.32s

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you looking to buy today? What are you here looking for?

Speaker 121272s - 1277s

Jake Van broke down on the way into the expo today.

Yeah, and leaving the van here.

Speaker 121284s - 1285.12s

I've got some room in the boot.

Speaker 01287.74s - 1288.12s

Well, that's probably nicer than my van as well.

Speaker 121289.42s - 1289.66s

Now, maybe an electric hose reel.

Speaker 131290.5s - 1290.92s

Beautiful, really?

Speaker 121291.66s - 1294.44s

Very nice. Yeah, and then just wait until I get a new vans put it in.

Hopefully it reaches from home.

Speaker 121299.04s - 1299.24s

Speaker 11332.22s - 1332.36s

I'm starting out.

Speaker 131334s - 1334.38s

I'm like, I can learn something upon these guys.

Speaker 101339.6s - 1341.5s

But I found out one of the most valuable things for me is just listening to all the shit you guys go through with customers and stuff.

Speaker 131341.5s - 1342.18s

It can be different.

Speaker 101342.38s - 1346.1s

And because like if you're just starting off in this game,

It'll be like the biggest video online.

Speaker 131356.56s - 1363.44s

No, no, it's all good. But yeah, just hearing what you guys go through just to get in the mindset. Because for someone like me starting out, that's really valuable.

Speaker 31363.88s - 1370.8s

And you guys have been through it all. It's a rough start yeah it can be yeah you're always gonna have dodgy customers

Speaker 101370.8s - 1375.12s

regardless of you're the best of the job we have terrible weeks even now yeah like we sit there and

Speaker 31375.12s - 1379.76s

be like fucking weak mate honestly and it's like you just got a you just got to you get and some of your

Speaker 101379.76s - 1384s

best customers can sometimes be your worst customers like yeah customers for three or four years

Speaker 31384s - 1389s

and then all of a sudden they'll drop you out like there's no tomorrow, no loyalty.

Speaker 101389s - 1390s

So yeah, it can be difficult.

Speaker 31390s - 1393s

So you just started doing the, what use, services you're doing?

Speaker 131393s - 1398s

Well, I'm going to start doing pressure washing and then move up from there, I don't know, roof cleaning, that sort of stuff.

Speaker 31398s - 1399s

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 131399s - 1405.54s

Speaker 31405.92s - 1408.9s

Like press-rushing machine or have you got...

Speaker 101408.9s - 1411.9s

Possibly, yeah, I mean, I didn't really know what to expect.

Speaker 131411.98s - 1414.72s

I've never been here before, so I was hoping I could maybe pick something up,

Speaker 101414.82s - 1417.6s

but regardless I'm going to get something to start off.

Speaker 131418.24s - 1422.2s

Speaker 101422.2s - 1424.06s

but they're so busy, I can't even get close to them.

Speaker 131424.06s - 1431s

Speaker 131434s - 1435s

Speaker 101435s - 1437s

I don't think I've got anything valuable to say to me.

Speaker 132030.18s - 2030.52s

I did, yeah.

Speaker 32030.56s - 2031.4s

What did you get?

Speaker 32032.92s - 2034.48s

Got a Poles that I needed.

Speaker 42034.84s - 2036.22s

They were ruined from the last ones.

Speaker 82036.92s - 2037.72s

Did you labour at breaking?

Speaker 42038.28s - 2038.74s

By any chance?

Speaker 82039.1s - 2039.88s

Staff broke them.

Speaker 42040.72s - 2041.94s

Just bits and pieces, really.

Speaker 82042.02s - 2042.7s

Just been ripped off.

Speaker 32043.7s - 2046.2s

What's your favourite cleaning service that you offer?

Speaker 82046.4s - 2046.98s

Window cleaning.

Speaker 32047.3s - 2048.04s

Yeah, therapeutic.

Speaker 42048.32s - 2048.84s

Yeah, I just love it.

Speaker 32048.86s - 2049.28s

That's all I know.

Speaker 42049.34s - 2051.54s

It's all I've done since school, so that's all I know.

Speaker 32052.84s - 2055.38s

What's the highest value job that you've ever had?

Speaker 42055.78s - 2056.74s

I just told one of the other weeks.

Speaker 32056.86s - 2057.68s

It's called Kingston Lyle Park ORG.

Speaker 42057.72s - 2058.32s

It's $1,300.

Speaker 32059.02s - 2059.74s

Is that for window cleaning?

Speaker 42059.9s - 2060.76s

Yeah, just window cleaning, yeah.

Speaker 32061.04s - 2061.62s

A few there then.

Speaker 42062.06s - 2064.66s

If you could start over again, Paul PERSON, would you probably stay in the same industry?

Speaker 32064.66s - 2065.5s

Yeah, I love it. I just love what I do. You're absolutely sold on it, in you? I cleaning, yeah. A few there then. If you could start over again, Paul PERSON, would you probably stay in the same industry? I would, yeah, I love it.

Speaker 42065.5s - 2066.5s

I just love what I do.

Speaker 32066.5s - 2068s

You're absolutely sold on it, in you?

Speaker 42068s - 2069s

I am, yeah.

Speaker 42070.5s - 2072.5s

No, it's all backs now, 99% backs.

Speaker 32072.5s - 2074.5s

Hence why I'm VAT registered now, so.

Speaker 42074.5s - 2083.5s

Don't blame you. What do you love about the cleaning industry? I'd say, obviously I'm self-employed, everyone says to me that it's, you know, you get freedom of what you do.

Speaker 32083.5s - 2085.16s

I'm always at work, six days a week.

Speaker 02085.28s - 2088.62s

Yeah. Always thinking about window cleaning. Working more for yourself than what you do.

Speaker 32088.68s - 2096.94s

I am, yeah. I wouldn't, I wouldn't have it any other way, to be honest. Do you do roof cleaning? No, no, that's one thing I won't get into, I don't think, no. Are you a pub man or a beer at own man?

Speaker 42097.06s - 2097.7s

Speaker 132306.24s - 2307.18s

Are we in shocks?

Speaker 02307.28s - 2308.14s

It's a bit tall of them.

Speaker 32308.42s - 2309.58s

Right.

Speaker 02310.06s - 2311.4s

Name yourself and name your business.

Speaker 132311.78s - 2312.64s

So, hello everybody.

Speaker 32312.74s - 2313.58s

My name is Darren Newton PERSON.

Speaker 02313.98s - 2319.06s

My business is Precious Washes Stafford or PWS ORG, as you'll see on the signs.

Speaker 32319.18s - 2321.32s

And how long have you been running?

Speaker 02322.42s - 2326.08s

Oh, 2005 we started TWS ORG.

Speaker 32326.18s - 2327.28s

Nearly 20 years.

Speaker 02327.48s - 2328.08s

Nearly 20 years.

Speaker 32328.08s - 2331.2s

I've been fixing jet washes since 1997. Right.

Speaker 02331.88s - 2332.64s

So a long time.

Speaker 32332.86s - 2333.9s

Do you watch your podcast?

Speaker 02335.76s - 2336.72s

It's right to say no.

Speaker 32336.8s - 2337.5s

Don't worry about it.

Speaker 02337.54s - 2340.72s

No, but I will do afterwards because hopefully I have a good feature.

Speaker 32340.86s - 2349.7s

So normally we ask people now if they've made any purchases here. Obviously you've got to stand here. So has it been a good day for you? I have made a purchase. Oh, you have made a purchase? Yes.What are you all?

Speaker 02349.96s - 2361.04s

So I sent Bell PERSON across and she brought all of the pastries out to the shop to feed everybody. We got all of them. So in terms of your standing,

Speaker 32361.14s - 2361.96s

though, has it been a good day?

Speaker 02362.26s - 2375.22s

Yeah, so today's been a good day. We're noticing a little bit, I don't know, notoriety, a bit more popularity this year. So although the show seems average for footfall, I think we've been busier.

Speaker 102375.38s - 2375.54s

Yeah.

Speaker 02375.86s - 2383.02s

So, you know, I've not stopped all day. There's been a queue of people loitering. This queue's been sort of out here and snaking out there.

Speaker 102383.3s - 2385.82s

It's been mega trying to get onto this stand during the day.

Speaker 32386s - 2387.36s

So it's been a good day.

Speaker 102388s - 2388.84s

Good stuff, good stuff.

Speaker 32388.9s - 2394.24s

Right, next question is, I don't know if it applies to you. What's your favourite cleaning service? Cleaning service.

Speaker 02394.24s - 2395.76s

I mean, you don't really use the machines, do you?

Speaker 32395.76s - 2396.64s

You're just a manufacturer.

Speaker 02398.8s - 2401.24s

No, and I will tell you a little story about it if you want.

Speaker 32401.9s - 2406.3s

So although I run a company that builds and maintains pressure washers,

Speaker 102406.8s - 2409.1s

I actually clean my own car with a bucket and a sponge.

Speaker 32409.76s - 2411.54s

I don't use a jet washer at home.

Speaker 102413.72s - 2416.82s

Right, we got this one for another, like as in for tradesmen.

Speaker 02417.06s - 2418.38s

Which is the highest value job ever?

Speaker 32419.18s - 2423.82s

So should we ask you, what's the highest value pressure washer system we can walk away with here today?

Speaker 02424.08s - 2430.76s

Oh, so the height, well, you can't walk away with any because we've got a waiting list. But the highest value on the standard would be the compact, which is over there, so we've put the camera that way.

Speaker 32430.76s - 2431.84s

Yeah, we'll show them after.

Speaker 02431.84s - 2435.06s

It does like a nice little panning, you know, those like little panning shots.

Speaker 32435.18s - 2436s

We're still out of it.

Speaker 02436.5s - 2441.72s

Yeah. So that would cost you $11,000 plus that on that spec.

Speaker 32441.94s - 2442.18s

Right.

Speaker 02442.88s - 2445.04s

But unfortunately, you can't leave today. You've seen that you've

Speaker 32445.04s - 2450.24s

seen the stone there's nothing here because of the lead time so my strategy was to buy some beer

Speaker 02450.24s - 2454.8s

tables and give beer out for the day i see that yeah everyone was walking past with bottles and we're

Speaker 32454.8s - 2458.4s

wondering we're coming from we've just been giving beer out all day and sitting on the stand and

Speaker 02458.4s - 2462.96s

having fun with our customers so the camera is going to pick it up after but explain it because it's in the

Speaker 32462.96s - 2468.2s

back of a pick-up now was that your thought process when you design that it's got it's in the back of a pickup now. Is that your thought process when you design that? It's got to fit in the back of a high-lux type truck.

Speaker 02468.52s - 2476.54s

So basically, the stories are slightly long-winded, but a lad that used to work for us had a little bet with me.

Speaker 102476.98s - 2483.32s

And we were talking about cleaning equipment and it was saying, oh, we should make one of these and we should do one of those and we should do this.

Speaker 02483.4s - 2487.56s

And they're going, look, well, they're massive and they take up all the vans and the stuff

Speaker 52487.56s - 2489.64s

on the market at the moment is huge.

Speaker 02489.82s - 2490.18s

It's fast.

Speaker 52490.8s - 2494.04s

And he says, oh, yeah, but build one on a pellet.

Speaker 02494.12s - 2499.7s

Build one the size of a pellet. Why don't you do that? And I'm like, oh, I'm not sure it could be done. He's like, I'll bet you can do it.

Speaker 52500s - 2512.12s

So we've got a pellet out and we laid out the components and the criteria was hot water machine with 500 litres of water with a boiler, obviously with all the bits, fits on the size of a pellet.

Speaker 02512.32s - 2528.22s

As we started to go through the development process, we decided that not only for their vans and exterior cleaning, but we do a version that's skid mountable for farmers and agriculture so they can pick it up with a forklift and or manateaus. So one of the criteria is it must fit in the back of a pickup.

Speaker 52529.08s - 2531.52s

And that fits exactly in the back of that amrock.

Speaker 02531.96s - 2532.56s

Was it challenging?

Speaker 52534.4s - 2539.52s

The hardest thing was getting around the generating the electricity for the boiler.

Speaker 02540.44s - 2544.94s

So the engine and the pump is quite simple. It's just quality components.

Speaker 52545.5s - 2547.14s

And the boiler itself is quite simple. But's just quality components, and the boiler itself is quite simple,

Speaker 02547.24s - 2550.82s

but making the electrics work for the boiler was quite a complicated process.

Speaker 32551.32s - 2555.44s

Because we didn't use massive V-twin engines, which have got big alternators on them,

Speaker 102555.86s - 2561.64s

we couldn't use 12-volt boilers because there was nowhere generating enough 12-volt or regular 12-volts.

Speaker 02561.64s - 2566.14s

So we use a 240-volt boiler, oversized battery pack,

Speaker 32566.46s - 2567.2s

and an inverter.

Speaker 02567.7s - 2569.12s

We use the Briggs and Stratton ORG engine

Speaker 52569.12s - 2570.68s

quite boringly because it generates

Speaker 102570.68s - 2572.62s

more electricity than the Honda ORG.

Speaker 52573.22s - 2575.04s

And if you couple that together

Speaker 102575.04s - 2577.66s

with either a little solar setup

Speaker 52577.66s - 2579.6s

or charge it every few days,

Speaker 02579.68s - 2581.36s

you have a hot water van machine

Speaker 32581.36s - 2582.66s

that fits on the size of a palette.

Speaker 02582.94s - 2583.84s

It's teeny tiny.

Speaker 52584.44s - 2584.96s

Fantastic.

Speaker 02585.28s - 2587.58s

If you could start again, would you stay in the same industry?

Speaker 32591.56s - 2592s

No.

Speaker 02593s - 2594s

No, what would you go into?

Speaker 32594.58s - 2598.92s

Any job with a pension that I could retire on time and work 9 to 5.

Speaker 02599.58s - 2601.58s

Probably public services.

Speaker 32602.04s - 2604.12s

I don't know, road copper sounds good, doesn't it?

Speaker 02604.12s - 2605.38s

Really hated job,

Speaker 12605.46s - 2610.58s

but bashing around in cars with what used to be, a good solid pension. Solid pension.

Speaker 32611.42s - 2613.2s

Would you love about your job?

Speaker 12614.68s - 2621.4s

So, I've been doing this a really long time. So the day-to-day stuff is really boring and mind-numbing.

Speaker 32621.7s - 2625.56s

It really is. It's nearly the same stuff broken all of the time,

Speaker 12625.62s - 2632.26s

if that makes sense, or the same bunch of stuff. But when we started heavily producing and

Speaker 02632.26s - 2639.06s

innovating the alpha range, the green stuff, I really enjoy making really cool stuff. So we

Speaker 32639.06s - 2643.96s

deliberately have been innovative with the stuff that we've made and we've sort of took what

Speaker 02643.96s - 2647.08s

people are doing and just done it our own way.

Speaker 52648.08s - 2650.36s

Which is why we end up with super small footprints

Speaker 02650.36s - 2653.06s

or weird electrics or whatever it is.

Speaker 52653.5s - 2655.74s

And that really does get me going.

Speaker 02656.24s - 2658s

You know, I want to move on to do in blue...

Speaker 52658s - 2659.68s

I want to incorporate Bluetooth,

Speaker 02659.88s - 2661.1s

so we've done solar technology.

Speaker 52661.76s - 2685.44s

We do some remote control with RF. I want to start using Bluetooth technology to control these machines. So if you're like the other side of a roof and you want to turn the machine on and off, you can do safely. I want to raise the, by being able to do that, I can raise the safety aspect of this.Because there's no way a single guy should be operating this kit from a tower miles away when his van's all the way out on the road.

Speaker 02685.44s - 2710.68s

It's very true, yeah. Because there's no safety aspect with it. So I want to build that back in. I want to get that side of it, like sort of sorted out. And the petrol and independence have been left sort of unregulated with none of the big manufacturers ever getting involved.And when I say big manufacturers, I don't mean that as any disrespect to any of the guys here. I mean, Karcher, Nilfisk, Earl ORG, the big brands, they ignore these because they

Speaker 42710.68s - 2714.46s

can't make any profit on them. Right. Which is why you get, if you will, if this was Formula One

Speaker 02714.46s - 2719.5s

teams have passed, we'd be the privateers. Yeah, or touring cars. So the people that you see in

Speaker 102719.5s - 2723.62s

here making these, no matter how big their companies are, their privateers compared to

Speaker 02723.62s - 2728.8s

Cartier, Nilfisk and Earl ORG. So So, yeah, I enjoy making cool stuff.

Speaker 32728.8s - 2735.12s

Exactly, right, we've got a couple of funny ones now. Do you like going down a pub or do you prefer a beer at home? I don't drink.

Speaker 02735.12s - 2736.32s

With tea total.

Speaker 32736.32s - 2738.88s

You know, you're no one to make today.

Speaker 02738.88s - 2746.68s

Must have been the fifth person today. Okay, I will tell it completely true. I'm classed as a binge drink because once a year

Speaker 62746.68s - 2753.82s

What's your favorite cleaning service that you offer?

Speaker 12831.64s - 2836.84s

My favourite roof cleaning is definitely the most lucrative but then being up on a roof

Speaker 32836.84s - 2840.28s

all day is not that enjoyable I would say perhaps driveway cleaning is the most

Speaker 12840.28s - 2841.28s

enjoyable.

Speaker 32841.28s - 2848s

Brenda PERSON cleaning soft washing that kind of stuff. What's your highest value job you've had since you've been running, Dan PERSON?

Speaker 12848s - 2854s

Probably a roof soft wash at 800 quid. Nice. Nice.

What's if you could start over again, would you probably stay in the same industry?

Speaker 12858s - 2863s

Yes, I do enjoy this industry, yeah. It's done a lot of good things for me.

Speaker 32871.14s - 2872.48s

Be a cashman or bank transfer?

Speaker 12872.86s - 2876.46s

I prefer bank transfers, but everyone just pays me cash.

Speaker 32876.54s - 2880s

They don't even ask, and they just expect me that I're going to want cash and they give me cash.

Speaker 12880.6s - 2882.62s

I much prefer bank transfers. It's easier to manage.

Speaker 32883.3s - 2886.94s

Oh, yeah, much easier. What do you love about the cleaning industry and being in it?

Speaker 12888.76s - 2900.88s
