It is always the honest working man who gets stiffed with these companies going bust. I would definitely look at changing payment terms as a company so that it never happens again for so much money. It is fascinating what goes into the technical side of building scaffolding and was something i never thought about. Head up Joe and keep ploughing on with building your business.👍
Proper inspirational ! Just watched one of the vids from 4 months ago, mate all credit to you for running a business and helping someone back from the darkness! To everyone out there a must watch!! 👊🏆
I love your mantra, we can all learn from each other. We are all equals. The amount of men that run businesses with huge egos is astounding. You’re a breath of fresh air. God bless and keep doing what you’re doing. I have no doubt that you are going to be extremely successful
I feel your pain. This is a part of industry and construction.... That shouldn't be a part of the construction industry. Well done for keeping it professional and I hope things keep getting better and better for Stellar
Love your videos. Great the way you and your team explain how scaffolding works. Unfortunately firms going bust is the nature of the beast. Hope you get some money back. Love watching your content from the west coast of Ireland.
50% upfront or no work getting done. That way you should at least break even no matter what. I do this in the film industry and it's saved me from being stung a of times. Keep going mate!
Keep your chin up in the bad times pal, you will get over this and you will savour when times are good, wish you all the success as you seem a genuine bloke and a grafter
Joe, gutted for you mate, loving the content and you and Ashville are my go to weekly videos. One thing to look at is invoice financing potentially, pass the risk on the to the banks for a fee if you can't get payment terms sorted. Keep up the positive attitude and you'll get throguh this.
@@matthewarmstrong6764 Appreciate it brother, much more to come too! Yes looking at a few options at the moment, invoice finance definitely a good one. Appreciate the support mate. 👊🎥
Im gutted for you mate I feel for you joe I hope you can pull through this chin up stay strong and keep moving forward. I don't know how companies can get away with doing this to people it's so wrong how easy they can go bust and by doing so could make other companies go bust
What doesn't kill us will only make us stronger, Joe lad, and to still keep to your word of not naming and shaming them on youtube shows that you are a man of your word. Even after being bumped for a hundred large. Onto the next one bruva. 🤝
Have watched about 9 vids now, and every one is better than the one before, this is the best so far again, so sorry for your loss,could it possibly be an american company that let you down so badly, as a guess. Well done for being so honest about whats happening, lots of viewers will appreciate that, shows what happens and how people are forced to cope with it, stuff they dont tell you on buisness courses. Be so interesting to see how you build up the towers on that big building as well as all the other stuff, you have a lot of us so interested in what your team do. Until a few weeks ago it was like a hidden secret the work that goes on for me, but now its a fascinating insight into a real skill and skilled trade.
@@TheSadcyclist Thank you my friend I really appreciate the detailed feedback, top man! Yes I think this one will show just how intricate scaffolding can be, its a high level project that and something we are excited to show you all. I always promised to keep things as they are and I will stick to that, good and bad! Loving the interest in what we do too! Only the beginning! ❤️👊🎥🎥
Keep your head up big man you got this you and the squad will keep pushing through this difficult time that you never hope to see. Top man for keeping the company name to yourself speaks volumes dude 🙌🙌😎
Cracking video Joe, you will definitely get your steps in on that job Sorry to hear about that firm going bust, unfortunately it's not uncommon ànd you have to wait in the queue to see if you can recoup your losses. Stay strong buddy.
You can track companies credit scores and how they are operating! This may help you choose clients, we use it to see whose been CCJ’d and things like that
Feel for you man! Can see your pain. your right some people do cry over £20 sometimes less! Tbf I Can’t even imagine losing a couple hundred let alone that amount of money!!😵 wishing you all the strength to persevere through, You have the right attitude and mentality and joe there’s no stopping you, that’ll take you very far in this game! Head up mate and keep smashing it👊💙
Gutted for you on the company owing you all that money mate really am. That loading bay will sort the men out from the boys definitely and your main man the advanced scaffolder who put the extra bay on by mistake, he is a credit to your company because although he made the mistake and I know he had a couple of different drawings the important thing was he checked and checked again and realised before it was to late. With scaffolding I go by the saying if it’s right at the bottom it will be right at the top. And that loading bay is an intricate job. A lot of scaffolders would be lost. Keep up the good work 👌
Hi Joe, big learning curve mate, its happened, rant over, recoup and look forward as to how you can carry on the growth plan. You can only minimise risk, you can't eliminate it (unless you get full payment up front, which won't happen). Positive is lads are on form, jobs are coming in, keep tracking down future jobs all will be good my man.. Alex.
You’re going to be fine bro. It’s how you think is your strength. You could roll into a ball and feel sorry for yourself or you can accept the bad things that happen and grow stronger because of them.
Everything is here to test us! I believe you can do a company credit check so you can see if the company your are dealing with are likely to pay you or not. It may be worth doing stage payments on big jobs to try and avoid some of the risk!
Ups and downs in business mate massive downer unfortunate situation another top video though mate Respect for being so transparent in your videos and not just showing the good times as there are always bad times in business
Where did you find Drew he fell straight from scaffold heaven, what a man, what a brain. He must take so much pressure off you... Keep going Joe we fall, we get back up. Don't let the bastards grind you down...
It's nice to see such team work, now a days it seems every man for himself on the firms I worked for, that's why I got out the game. There's no I in team but there is a me..
Alrt joe nightmare for you bro I feel your frustration mate but you’ve got to keep your head up bro and I know you’ll go from strength to strength and make it work, every one is behind you bro 👊🏼
50% upfront on any job over 25k, and dont let the work continue without payment plans and a invoice company that pays up front. costs a little extra to get the invoice companys on board but its a level of protection that will help alot
We got shafted over the last 2 years by 2 Transport & Logistic companies for almost 500k. They knew about it for around 4 months beforehand. We're still going as you just can't let them beat you 👊👊.
Hello Joe how are you Joe I love watching your channels and this channel is very good to watch and your gays are doing a very good job and I love watching and seeing different jobs every time Joe ❤️❤️🎥🎥
Full respect for showing all the highs & lows of running a business. Yes, it's disgusting when other businesses know they will go bankrupt yet, carry-on using trades like yourselves,knowing that they have no intentions of paying anyone. Scum the lot of them. Full respect to you . The truth of the matter is, this probably won't be the last time this happens, and it's impossible to see it coming. Keep strong & driven as you clearly are. We are all here for you to sound off your frustrations, highs & lows. 👍👍
Legend for showing the ups and downs gutted you’re in this position - top man for not crumbling which would be fair enough - will be the making not the breaking 👊🏼
There's another massive job currently on going in Slough (Buckingham Ave, Slough trading estate). Drove past it earlier and thought to myself, I wonder if this is your job! 😆
Good luck to you. The worst industry for payments and money. Bankrupted my company on the olympics never been in it again. Never treated for our true worth. Keep going pal. ❤
Hi I came across your channel which I must say is fascinating, and so interesting to watch. I can relate to the endless business challenges you continually face but am really inspired by you and your excellent team which seem to just ‘get on with it’ and push on through. What a professional approach you have with your team and excellent business ethics, I can only hope to emulate your enthusiasm, energy, and wish you every continued success.
Joe with your positive attitude and work ethic along with the lads working for you . I’d say you’re winning anyway . £100k is a lot of money to lose hopefully get some back off the liquidation company .
great video as always - unfortunatley i expect you in a long list of folk that have been left out pocket by that client going bust can only hope a solition is found so everyone gets whats owed to them
Just wrong Pal.. Been taken a few times. Always feel like a personal attack as a hard working man.. keep pushing on. You got a lot of loyal staff and family wrapped around you I'm sure..
It’s a terrible lesson but a lesson that I’m sure you will learn from big companies can get away with it and destroy smaller ones keep going and make it big
Hey mate, is there any reason you wouldnt put a loading bay like that up in a ringlock system? It's miles quicker to build, engineer, and takes the thinking out of it for the lads on the build. Good work by the lads, that'll be a good build once up
Best advice I got and happened to me twice your situation . On the first beep of your alarm get out of that bed and crack on again.Dont stay in the bed no recovery in the bed .Your young fit got energy you will come through it .
Big loss mate hope it all works out 💪 keep going you got this sore as is youl. Kill it not all heroes wear capes you employ people the amount of food you provide good man
@@StellarScaffolding top man keep going push you n you’re company as high a ceiling as poss it’s something very noble about the men you employ for such a young man you seem to have the game on lock . I used to love working with the scaffolders when I was fit to work on n off from 08/2016 I was labourer with interserve but dus to my hip n my bladder It started becoming to much it’s content like yours that keeps me going 👍 you’re more than welcome salute you big big responsibility hope the financial burden o that you as hard as is can absorb you’re absolutely killing this big man trust 🤝
@ Love that Scotty mate, top man, well listen you can relive it all through us now and we’ve got some monsters for you to enjoy! Appreciate the support massively, it keeps me going too. ❤️ Have a great day my brother! 👊🎥
Hi Joe top content again , Can you do a video of your day etc what you eat , what you get up to , do you workout often , do you drink /smoke etc, how many people to you go through every month? how to start a business like you or similar thanks
Bad debt Joe is a fact of life. We've been knocked by Tier one contractors going pop, down to the smaller contractors. I would advise you obtain some contract law training and utilise the " 7 day letter" to be the contractor, who if their account is not up to date will withdraw their labour.
Mate your little rant which wasn't really a bad one was more than vindicated and I feel your pain and you would be well in your rights to go and kick the shxt out of whoever it is but you've kept your dignity and somehow carried on regardless and that my ol mucker shows decency.. You keep up the hard work you do and show em that's how it's done... Well done pard 💪
Lost of firms in the construction industry going under at the moment the budget certainly didn't help small businesses keep positive in these difficult times
Joe, it’s a shi*t situation to happen and it’s a lot of money to lose of your top line, but you also need to give yourself credit for how you’ve managed your company, which has enabled you to push forward and not be working hand to mouth. Companies go bust all the time and you have to allow for that so you don’t go down with them. So as shit as it is give yourself a pat on the back for having the foundations of the company in such a good place that you can swallow the loss and continue to grow👍
Love that comment mate, proper mindset, I’ve actually half thought the same myself but nice to hear it from you too. Have a great weekend my friend. Thanks Steve! 👊🎥
@@StellarScaffolding loving the content, your transparency gives people a real insight of the pressures a business owner faces on a daily basis. Employees will often only see the end result which is a salary, they don’t see the weight an owner carries on their shoulders every day to make that happen. Foundation of any company is key, growth has to be managed sensibly and resilience built in, that way you can ride the unexpected and not be crushed by one clients mistakes. Stellar Job mate👍
@ Top man Steve, love it mate and all to true too! There’s much more to come so up sure the highs and lows will continue to come in think and fast, we’ve just got to keep it moving! ❤️👊🎥
This is exactly why I got out of the construction side of things. Its the payment terms that is a total piss take. 30, 60 even 90 days. I wouldn’t stand for it. You’ve gotta try and start changing the “Industry Standard”. On the rare occasion I do work for a construction company now I insist on payment as soon as scaffold is up. I’m only talking about 10s of thousands but still, if they don’t accept It, i don’t do it. They don’t have to wait for the scaffold so I don’t wait for the payment. I used to turn up to offices and refuse to leave without a cheque. Never let creditors accumulate. As soon as one application is short paid, work stops. They get you by the balls if you let them.
@@SharkScaffold Yes very true mate, mad old game isn’t it. There’s more to come on this as it’s progressing more and more but I’ll update as it comes. Your terms are the one, would need the whole industry on the same page for it to have any strength. 👊🎥
Keep your head up, Joe. Keep going the country needs guys like you.
Appreciate it, we keep moving! 👊🎥
It is always the honest working man who gets stiffed with these companies going bust. I would definitely look at changing payment terms as a company so that it never happens again for so much money.

Top man Wayne, appreciate it mate. 👊🎥
great video as always - unfortunatley i expect you in a long list of folk that have been left out pocket by that client going bust can only hope a solition is found so everyone gets whats owed to them
Definitely mate and top man. 👊🎥
Just wrong Pal.. Been taken a few times. Always feel like a personal attack as a hard working man.. keep pushing on. You got a lot of loyal staff and family wrapped around you I'm sure..
Shocking isn’t it! Appreciate the support mate, top man! 👊🎥
It’s a terrible lesson but a lesson that I’m sure you will learn from big companies can get away with it and destroy smaller ones keep going and make it big
Shocker mate! Always a lesson! 👊🎥

We keep it moving brother! 👊🎥
Epic rant bro.
🥲🎥
Bro! You got us viewers as your mental support. All positivity here. We're all one and will always be here..
❤️❤️❤️👊👊🎥
Hey mate, is there any reason you wouldnt put a loading bay like that up in a ringlock system? It's miles quicker to build, engineer, and takes the thinking out of it for the lads on the build.
Good work by the lads, that'll be a good build once up
Definitely going forward mate, we will be using system! 👊🎥
Look after yourself ive had it , it hurts but you do get over it .

Scott I appreciate that a lot mate, top man. Much more to come brother. ❤️👊🎥
@@StellarScaffolding top man keep going push you n you’re company as high a ceiling as poss it’s something very noble about the men you employ for such a young man you seem to have the game on lock . I used to love working with the scaffolders when I was fit to work on n off from 08/2016 I was labourer with interserve but dus to my hip n my bladder It started becoming to much it’s content like yours that keeps me going 👍 you’re more than welcome salute you big big responsibility hope the financial burden o that you as hard as is can absorb you’re absolutely killing this big man trust 🤝
@ Love that Scotty mate, top man, well listen you can relive it all through us now and we’ve got some monsters for you to enjoy! Appreciate the support massively, it keeps me going too. ❤️ Have a great day my brother! 👊🎥
Hi Joe top content again , Can you do a video of your day etc what you eat , what you get up to , do you workout often , do you drink /smoke etc, how many people to you go through every month? how to start a business like you or similar thanks
Day in the life is coming brother and the same with how we started! 👊👊🎥
Let me guess, IS.... I work for a competitor of theirs. Sad it’s gone down the way it has for many who worked under them.
@@finlayandrew3997 Madness mate. 🤝🎥
Thought you went gym maté absolutely blowing walking up they stairs
Chin up kid top bloke
Haha I know ffs, I need to sort it out! Appreciate it mate. 🤝👊🎥
Bad debt Joe is a fact of life. We've been knocked by Tier one contractors going pop, down to the smaller contractors. I would advise you obtain some contract law training and utilise the " 7 day letter" to be the contractor, who if their account is not up to date will withdraw their labour.
👊👊🎥🎥
Mate your little rant which wasn't really a bad one was more than vindicated and I feel your pain and you would be well in your rights to go and kick the shxt out of whoever it is but you've kept your dignity and somehow carried on regardless and that my ol mucker shows decency.. You keep up the hard work you do and show em that's how it's done... Well done pard 💪
You’re the man Wayne, means a lot mate! 👊🎥
Lost of firms in the construction industry going under at the moment the budget certainly didn't help small businesses keep positive in these difficult times
Yes crazy mate! 👊🎥
And its always us scaffs that get shafted the first.. mate chin up son.. live to punch another day!!
@@ShaneLittle-cu3mk 💯👊🎥🎥
Your man loves a Dolly tower!!
Hahaha 👊🎥
Upwards and onwards mate
👊👊🎥🎥
Joe, it’s a shi*t situation to happen and it’s a lot of money to lose of your top line, but you also need to give yourself credit for how you’ve managed your company, which has enabled you to push forward and not be working hand to mouth. Companies go bust all the time and you have to allow for that so you don’t go down with them. So as shit as it is give yourself a pat on the back for having the foundations of the company in such a good place that you can swallow the loss and continue to grow👍
Love that comment mate, proper mindset, I’ve actually half thought the same myself but nice to hear it from you too. Have a great weekend my friend. Thanks Steve! 👊🎥
@@StellarScaffolding loving the content, your transparency gives people a real insight of the pressures a business owner faces on a daily basis. Employees will often only see the end result which is a salary, they don’t see the weight an owner carries on their shoulders every day to make that happen. Foundation of any company is key, growth has to be managed sensibly and resilience built in, that way you can ride the unexpected and not be crushed by one clients mistakes. Stellar Job mate👍
@ Top man Steve, love it mate and all to true too! There’s much more to come so up sure the highs and lows will continue to come in think and fast, we’ve just got to keep it moving! ❤️👊🎥
This is exactly why I got out of the construction side of things. Its the payment terms that is a total piss take. 30, 60 even 90 days. I wouldn’t stand for it. You’ve gotta try and start changing the “Industry Standard”. On the rare occasion I do work for a construction company now I insist on payment as soon as scaffold is up. I’m only talking about 10s of thousands but still, if they don’t accept It, i don’t do it. They don’t have to wait for the scaffold so I don’t wait for the payment. I used to turn up to offices and refuse to leave without a cheque. Never let creditors accumulate. As soon as one application is short paid, work stops. They get you by the balls if you let them.
@@SharkScaffold Yes very true mate, mad old game isn’t it. There’s more to come on this as it’s progressing more and more but I’ll update as it comes. Your terms are the one, would need the whole industry on the same page for it to have any strength. 👊🎥
@@StellarScaffolding somebodys gotta start it. Even if you could get it down to 14 days days, that would be massive.
people have to stop complying, like its some kind of law, re-write the play book.
@@SharkScaffold I’m with you mate definitely! Something to look in to and a movement to start! 👊🎥
