yeah, sounds good. Like i said im already doing the FCA brickwork and they seemed pretty interested, i think it helped a lot as it shows im wanting to get into that line of work.
they did mention that they send trainees to college on day release which will be quite good

Yeah, you'll learn a lot.

They should send you on a college course in September too.

hard landscaping/labouring but should eventually get to do a bit of everything, pay isn't the best but with being able to learn so many trades & with experience the pay will go up :thumbs:

I didn't have any experience either, but they'll teach you stuff as you work, which is cool.

They enrolled me on a course at Moulton, learning to lay turf properly and block paving etc.

I'd go back to work for them, it really was a good job (except in the rain :o)

Good luck with the interview anyway Danny :)

yeah thats cool, i mean im doing a brickwork course atm so looking for any sort of landscape/labouring/groundwork sort of job just to get some cash and some experience.

late everyday :rolleyes: thats a bit harsh really, but i had the same problem in my previous job.

i'll look into that soft landscaping, sounds quite a good job tbh, out in the sun & the fresh air, still will see how this interview goes i not sure what to expect as haven't had any experience in this type of work (apart from college)

Hard landscaping.

It was a REALLY good job, I loved it.

They told me they were dismissing my because I was late every day.

I started at 7:30, was there at 7:20 :rolleyes: It was obvious that they only needed me for one contract.

Soft landscaping is the job you want, you get paid loads for planting plants and cutting grass :cool:

Robin

I used to work there BTW, they got rid of me after finishing the contract they needed me for, but they didn't explain that to me when I started :rolleyes:

Go through Irchester, in to Wollaston past the school, turn left after the school (on to Hookhams Path), go all the way to the bottom, there's a crossroads, turn right (on to Hinwick road) there and Timotay is the first non-house building on your left, easy to spot, it's a big black barn.

Hope that makes sense :lol:

:lol: hope this is allowed here, i need some help with directions to a landscape company in wollaston.

its timotay landscapes, have been on aa route planner etc but i dont have a clue where it is in your town lol
am i right in saying i need to head towards pod from irchester on the b569? & take a left turn onto hinwick road, instead of following the corner round towards santapod & head straight on to the mechanics or whatever it is (williams way?) im guessing its around that area?

hope this makes sense as im crap with road names & directions :lol: :rolleyes:
