Totally agree but why doesn’t the ground worker complete his work before moving on. Pisses me off.

@ haha I am in a group of brickies. My mate says the same as you. I always feel like I’m being the bigger man for doing it lol

Same got kicked out of school think my mother said she was home schooling to the government so when I was 15 she got me out to Dresden on the building sites with an old boyfriend stayed there for 18 months and came back to Blighty 31 years ago. The building industry has always been like what we see today “doesn’t always work does it?

I'm from London and the sites and overall building industry has gone down hill since 2002,I used to love going to work there was always a good crack and comradery amongst the workers, The cscs card is just a money making scheme , I very done that 5 times,I don't nw any people coming through,or anyone who wants to do it. I hate site work nw its an awful experience, the site agents and management don't have a clue ,and the health and safety is just over the top. I wont go on sites for work anymore, I just try and find small jobs ,extensions,boundary walls etc. I feel sorry for any youngsters who are doing it... The country is in tatters and so is the construction industry, It's a shame as you can earn good money but things have even put a stop to that. I've 10 yrs hopefully left and have worked in the states and Australia and even in the usa its better than here! Whinge over🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂 I laugh but that twat makes me sick

Should have watched til the end mate, video is aimed at people with this outlook! I done the miles, labourer, college, price work, supervisor, contracts manager. Every single person had the exact same opportunities I had. I could have stayed in my corporate job earning considerably more. What you don’t know is when I joined the firm was small, I had no money, couldn’t drive, had a £450 nursery bill to cover each month, barely pay my rent, my wife went back to work full time when my son was 9 months old to make ends meet, my Dad paid me the going rate for new labourer. I made huge sacrifices to take the opportunity in front of me and so did my wife. I worked every hour I could, I sold computers on the side to make up the shortfall. Forget navigating the 2007 financial crash where myself and my Dad ended up back on the tools, could barely pay wages, put fuel in our van. Yeah, handed on a fucking plate to me mate, gold leafs and everything on it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@@Tone_Teamdon’t mind him Tony , he’s just another jealous so and so that finds it hard to be happy for others who have achieved some success. We all know people like this, these people have never taken a chance in life, don’t work hard enough and are irresponsible with what money they earn. Most of these people are unable to look in the mirror Tony so I wouldn’t waste my energy on them. You seem like a good person Tony and it’s nice to see from the videos you have such a good relationship with your family. Keep up the good work 👍💪🧱

Keep plugging away mate, your find the right fit. Market is down at the moment so opportunities are less than usual but the market will rally again at some point. Keep plugging your knowledge with courses, plenty of online resources you can do which are free. Highly recommend getting on LinkedIn, create a profile and build a network 👍🏻

@@Tone_Team market conditions are irrelevant.... the only factor here is experience... or lack of. without it, you are not being taken on... regardles of the market. no amount of courses are going to change that either.... most situations in this industry run off the premise of.... its not what you know but who you know.... bit like your situation Tony... you knew someone in the industry which helped you get to where you are today.... your old man. because if Gary Brown had a dad who owned a construction firm, he would be in that managerial role now and off the tools....

Not sure about that 😂😂

@@Tone_Team as a retired bricky myself take my word for it you do ...👍

Thanks John. People like to hate but I hope the overall message is one of positivity

Love it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Fair play

I’m thinking of going out on each site and working a day with the apprentices! What do you think? Make a good video?

@@Tone_Team absolutely

👍🏻

Not sure everyone would agree 😂 but thanks

👊🏻

You are literally the exact type of person this video is aimed at. I had an opportunity and I took it. You think it’s all been easy? Trying navigating a business through the worst financial crash in history, you’d last 5 minutes, in fact you wouldn’t last that long. I’ve helped build this business from the ground up, no hand outs, all earned and nothing given. I remortgaged my house to buy my first piece of land, how about you? Taken any opportunities or just sit on the internet and moan?

😂😂😂

@@Tone_Team 🎣 Had you hook line and sinker there tone 😂😂😂

FairPlay to you,you deserve it all,your man is probably sitting in his mams box room in his underpants all day every day

What size cross joint are prohibited.

It’s been far from easy, a lot of people would of tapped out facing some of the things we have gone through, let alone it all being laid on a plate for me, far from it. There have been some incredibly dark, unhappy, testing times and I’ve seen many people give up when the going gets tough. I could go into things that many wouldn’t believe but I won’t because people’s opinions are formed before they watched the video

Thanks for helping the algorithm

Not while you've got a hole in your a**e

No but we do offer apprenticeships

@@Tone_Team how to I get involved with your apprenticeship??

I thought the same. Always assumed he started up as a contractor himself but sounds like his dad did and handed it to him..

My Dad has handed me nothing. I’ve always told everyone it’s a family business. Apart from the developments which is 50/50 with my Dad, and yes I put in my own money to get going. And before you ask, I remortgaged my house. I wasn’t gifted anything

@@Tone_Team sorry I worded that badly. What I meant to say was you weren’t “just” a bricklayer like we are who had to work everything out for yourself from scratch. You had your dad who it sounds like was basically a subbie? So you could get some inside info and a bit of a leg up into it. Where as the rest of us haven’t got a clue how it works and we just have to work it all out - none of the subbies I know will give you any info on how to start up as they don’t want to invite the wolves to dinner. I’m having a dog or knocking you either, you’ve clearly taken the business to a new level from your input. And anyone who didn’t take advantage of the situation you were in with your dad would be an idiot. But yeah.. if you ever want to tell me the nitty gritty of how to become a contractor I’m all ears 😂

Bit like saying you’re not a solider unless you’ve been shot. Don’t be daft, exactly why I done the video. 30 winters is not a badge of honour. Maybe rewatch the video

@@Tone_Team You've done well for yourself fella you're an office worker now who qualified as a bricklayer i don't know your story.You don't practice the trade that's all a meant.Have a lovely night.

@@ripvanwincle2258 peace and love brother

@@Tone_Team stop biting tony not sure KZbin’s the place for you brother get used to negativity and people try t9 bring you down comes with the territory 👍
