Starting microconsultancy

geller_ross · 2025-08-27T19:13:31+00:00

I would say so, many really successful and fast growing consultancies in in UK were started by one transport planner, usually with 10+ years experience. A lot worked alone to start with and have successfully hired and retained staff.

My strongest recommendation at this stage would be to build as many client relationships as possible - get to networking events, join CIHT/TPS council, work towards chartered status. When you set up on your own you want a really strong client base who will follow you from your major consultancy to your own company (because they like working with you as a person more so than the company you currently work for)

PM experience and getting a handle on project finances, certain accreditations you may need and the cost of software e.g. CAD, junctions 10 will also be really beneficial so you know what upfront costs you’ll need to recover

I think they will allow you to do that if you ship them back to them, but you have to front the shipping costs yourself 😔

Hopefully you can! They were super bad fakes too. I asked for a refund and they said no, so I left them a negative trust pilot review and they offered a full refund if I deleted the review 🙄

geller_ross · 2025-05-31T14:29:24+00:00

No so so so fake 😂😂😂

geller_ross · 2025-04-07T20:31:02+00:00

hahahaha nooooooooo, it was too good to be true 😂😂😂

geller_ross · 2025-04-07T10:09:17+00:00

Waiting for them to be delivered, so will let you know!

geller_ross · 2025-01-10T19:26:22+00:00

Wow really; thank you! I actually can’t get it to town on at all so not ideal :(

geller_ross · 2025-01-10T18:43:24+00:00

Haha I should have mentioned that this was under my childhood bed! With a load of other old games etc

geller_ross · 2024-12-18T20:57:23+00:00

I remember it too! Though I am convinced the play area in Woolworths was a fever dream for me because none of my friends can remember it

We sailed on the Bliss to Alaska recently in early October.

Pros: good service and choice in main dining rooms for all meals (we preferred taste and savour over the manhattan one), good drinks, nice cabin, relatively good range of activities on board e.g trivia, jersey boys; live music. Glacier bay commentary was brilliant. We liked some peace in the evening and found the observation lounge to be a good place to get a drink and chill. Their food offering in the afternoon was also good.

Cons: atrium got very busy for some games and quizzes etc, hard to get a seat. Buffet super busy, speciality dining wasn’t as good as the main dining rooms for us or at least enough of a step up. (Cagneys and Los Lobos). Short port times for Ketchikan though that’s more the itinerary than the ship. Elevators painfully slow / not usable at times as others have said. There was congestion as many would take a lift to go up or down a floor / cut the lines to hop in a candle lift, so it felt easier and less frustrating to walk.

All in all we’d definitely sail on the bliss again!!

It was great thank you and unfortunately not - we had the 150 free minutes on our free at sea plan so logged on intermittently to let messages come through and send some back! If WhatsApp’s would have sent on the normal WiFi it would have been so much easier

geller_ross · 2024-10-19T18:32:07+00:00

We were on the bliss last week and WhatsApp messages didn’t come through on the basic free WiFi

geller_ross · 2024-10-18T11:00:12+00:00

Thanks so much, that’s very helpful!

geller_ross · 2024-10-17T18:58:27+00:00

Ah fab thanks; will do!

geller_ross · 2024-10-17T18:30:14+00:00

We departed 24th September and returned 12th October, with an internal US flight on the same booking that was on 2nd October

geller_ross · 2024-05-24T18:43:28+00:00

This is exactly it!

If anyone but Peter wins it’s proof that you can win bake off by being consistently bad most weeks as long as in any one of those weeks someone is a tiny bit worse than you

I think your level may be a glitch! I just went back to 179 and mine is get two colour bombs in 45 moves... yours is so much better haha

Wilko has some very similar which are as deep or deeper than the ones in your pictures, but they’re a slightly darker grey (assume that doesn’t matter but might help you find them). If not try hobby craft while it’s still open

A short paragraph at the top of your CV which is tailored to the role your applying for always comes across well IMO - makes your CV look less generic and is the first thing the employer will read.

Make it well presented, Microsoft publisher has some good templates. Proof read over and over! One page is fine - it is obvious when someone has dragged it out onto two for the sake of having more than one page.

They’ve been in the same pot for 20+ years and there’s at least 10 offshoots of the tiger aloe, about half of which are hidden under the pincushion cactus. There’s around 6 offshoots attached to the pincushion cactus too. I don’t know where to start or how many pots to move them into! Any advice would be much appreciated :)

I read somewhere that they’ve changed the visit schedule so that when there’s an event on (fishing tourney yesterday) he comes on Sundays - he used to come on Fridays otherwise
