Michael Crilly in Belfast has over 70 jobs on the go all received in the last two to 3 weeks. Values of the claims range from a couple of thousand to £85k but very few are under £20k. The £85k job is a building consisting of damage to 4 apartments and a shop.
80% of this work has come from referrals!
Michael had invested heavily in both fire and flood training and drying equipment last year but even with 20 dryers he did not have enough. He has bought a further 15 this Christmas and has around 15 air movers. Even now he could do with more and is finding it hard to rent from suppliers as they are all out of stock.
To help him with the increased work load – which really took off when he began building a great relationship with a leak detection company in Northern Ireland – he has taken on board a Quantity Surveyor.
“To cope with this volume of business you cannot do it alone” says Michael and I’d say whilst Michael himself if very shy about his own business acumen having a good business mind has certainly helped Michael progress Aspray Belfast.
Jan 2011 update!
Michael is now beginning to reap the benefits of having put through over £1 million worth of claims – perhaps you should look at taking a nice holiday once the weather picks up, Michael?
