Business with Other Blues

[evertony]

This might already be a thing in some shape or guise and I've missed it, however I was wondering if there wasn't something already in existence would there be an interest in an Evertonians Business Network either formal or informal? If there is already something along these lines can somebody share the details please.

If not I'm sure there must be lots of Blues who own businesses large, small , etsablished or embryonic who might have services or products they can offer (maybe at a discounted rate) to eachother or even just share business experience, support and advice.

For example, my business is wood finishes - the supply of coatings for furniture, flooring and any type of project involving wood. Maybe there are furniture makers, cabinet makers, flooring and parquet guys, joiners, decorators, hobbyists etc who use finishes? Another fella who sits with us at the match has a company that makes and distributes workwear and team apparel.
Seems like theres ano opportunity to me for Blue businesses to benefit from and with eachother.

Getting a top tradesman nowadays very hard too...

I tried this a long time ago, a blues in business directory.

Seems a good idea to me.

 

[Daytripper]

Nice idea, hope it works out

Toffee Traders, great idea mate.

I do one-off metal milling / lathework if anyone needs special parts making.

I also build high end loudspeakers if you can afford 'em!

 

[evertony]

So, probably nothing currently along these lines?

What stopped it taking off if you don’t mind me asking?

Recycling.

A certain scene from aliens where they go through the crawl space in the roof, was applied to villa under captain fantastic* and then more recently something very similar re west ham at Sunderland.

 

[woodsyni]

On a similar vein, need a new pre/post match routine. Any of the drinking establishments nearby dyed-in-wool Evertonians? Any to avoid? Recommendations welcome.

Talking 10 years ago, so can't recall specifics.

I asked our audience to submit their businesses and encouraged a blues in business effort - but it wasnt used so much. It just become a link directory, really and fizzled out. It probably needs a fair amount of effort to find the right people, and manage it a bit more rather than just "hey, got a business? give us details"

I just checked what I called it and;
