I use local artisans with a reputation, I am not paying a premium rate for them to send the apprentice. If I have to I will use a one man outfit to make sure.
I am not talking about big building firms with lots of employees I am talking like for like one man outfits or small firms.
Besides, that is just one example, there are loads of others. Actors, footballers, lawyers(not chambers) etc are all employed on a personal service basis.
Further, my business is far too complex to send a sub (on many occasions). Any plumber can see what needs doing, as can any electrician or brickie. Assuming you are a programmer, could you just turn up here and start fixing the bugs in the helicopter nav system I am presently working on?
Sorry, I will stop ranting now. I have been thinking a lot about this decision and it worries me.
