Londons best handyman service.

Hi All,

Apparently blogging has become all the rage these days and no self respecting internet user who feels they have something to add or purely wants somewhere share info should be without one. This is my first blog post and I will mainly focus my blogging on recent exciting events and share some of the trials, personal satisfaction and general enjoyment of these events.

I am originally from South Africa and came to London at the tender age of 19 straight after I finished high School and have now been in London for 4 years. For the past 3 years I have been working as the operations manager of London's largest and most successful handyman service but in December the company was sold to a larger less personal and more faceless organisation.

When I originally started as the operations administrator it was only the MD, GM and I with 12 full time handymen on the road. At the time of sale the company had 25 handymen on the road, 5 full time office staff and roughly 8 operating franchises.

The sale came as somewhat of a surprise and the expectation was that the new owners would continue the success garnered through unparalleled customer service and employee job satisfaction. Unfortunately this was not the case and I became concerned that the direction of the new owner was not a direction I felt confident in following. I was not alone in this feeling and both myself and the GM resigned and decided to start our own London handyman service called Silver Saints.

Here at Silver Saints we believe that there are two things that are vital to the success of a service such as ours and these are an extremely high and personal level of customer service and happy, experienced and friendly handymen. Fortunately we have both!

If there are any odd jobs you need doing around your office or home or even if you just want some advice why not give us a call and one of our friendly operation team members (I or Seamus) will be glad to help. You can also visit our website www.silversaints.com which we think is brilliant
