It sucks sometimes when you knuckle down and do the sums for a client and it turns out you simply can't deliver what you have said you can, hey ho experience learned and it wont happen again.
A potentially huge booking for me running a too day first aid course boiled down to me unable to acquire the right, affordable Liability Insurance, maybe if I had asked for a hefty deposit I would have been able to secure the insurance, but technically you need liability insurance (as far as I am aware) to cover you from the deposit stage onward. I hate letting clients down but I hope this scenario is one I have learnt from and can prevent from re occurring.
I am pleased to announce how ever that I will be insured for delivering First aid at work courses as of the 1st of September, and I am hoping that this bold, and reasonably costly move will give enough employment to get me through the less profitable winter months. We will see.
I have also been running some paddle power awards through Cardigan Bay Water sports which has been a really fun experience and saw me on sit on top kayaks for the first time in a while. I am looking forward to developing more links with this brilliantly located and run centre. In a town with some of the best 'foody' establishments, lunch breaks are equally fun in New Quay. I have also 'bean' paddle boarding.
Stay tuned for pricing info and dates for first aid courses (FAW).
