very early stages...but...
im putting together a business plan/funding application to open a retail shop/social enterprise/cycle training centre/"community bike workshop" (ie rentable workstands with tools and/or supervision...) in London ( Hackney probably)
this would be a workers co-operative....ive been in the bike trade a while (mechanic/manager) and frankly im sick of working for the man....i could use my experience and entrepenurial skills to open my own shop ( in fact, almost did last year...funding feel through at 11th hour...grrr) but would rather do something community based and in keeping with my syndicalist/socialist beliefs...
would anyone here be interested?
mechanics/sales staff....folk with passion, drive, EXCEPTIONAL customer service/sales skills, positive can-do attitude...yadda yadda yadda
your thoughts?...
