When you go on a Holiday for say 2 weeks ,do you let all you customers know ? going to have a massive back log of work i'm a week behind on work and in some cases two weeks has anyone ever lost any customers through going on their hols?

I tell them I'll be away yeah. I print leaflets and post them a month before I go. Never lost work for going away on Hol.

Nah I just go but then again I'm not a holiday person. They don't tell me when there going away & I have to wait longer for payment so works both ways. Don't lose custom just coz to weeks behind. It's window cleaning not life or death. They understand we have holidays & they have to wait an extra week they won't mind. Shouldn't think there lose sleep over it.

I'm with posh all the way, and if they do get rid of you because you had a holiday, then they need to take a good look at themselves.
