Me boss gave us all 6 weeks notice today that he was selling up & going abroad

So we're all redundant

But

I can now concentrate on www.essex4x4breakers.co.uk

& I'm not bothered about being made redundant

No chance of pinching any of his current work/customers just short term? He might struggle to sell a transport business in this climate...we hope! LOL

And where the hell does he think he's going to? I reckon theres more to it than meets the eye unless he's minted.

But good luck mate! One door closes another one opens, especially if you're a grafter.

Eeek!

Having said that, I have been made redundant a couple of times and it turned out that I got a better job, whereas if I hadn't been made redundant I would have stuck at the rubbish job.

Good luck with the breaker business.
