It is VERY important that as a small company, that we retain the work ethos of "do it right, do it once" that has seen the company remain profitable through-out the 20+ years it has been going. Therefore, we are very careful about who joins the company, with a 2 week vetting system (providing the CV is all correct). If they're not up to scratch, then they're binned. Shoddy workmanship and attitudes are not tolerated, as the business is very cut-throat, so using cheap, less-skilled labour is not an option. One mistake / bad job can tarnish you for a LONG time.
