Founder invites donations to help create industry-specific job board
As many of you are aware, DemolitionNews.com (together with the National Federation of Demolition Contractors) was one of the originators and co-founders of the demolition-jobs.co.uk website. Developed to help demolition professionals through the recession, that website was designed to allow unemployed demolition workers to advertise their availability for work. The site was and remains free to use for both demolition workers and the prospective employers using the site.
However, with the UK demolition industry emerging from the gloom of recession, there is a new need. As workloads pick up and as non-industry recruitment companies begin once again to leech off our industry, we are increasingly being asked if we can also advertise demolition jobs on the site.
Now of course we are only too happy to help. The original website was designed primarily to give something back to an industry from which we all earn our living. But that site development is going to come at a not inconsiderable cost which leaves us with a problem and which, also, hopefully is where the subscribers to and readers of DemolitionNews.com come in.
To cut a long story short, the cost of this upgrade will be just short of £1,000. DemolitionNews.com is pledging £500 but we need to raise £500 to put that job board in place. And we are actively seeking donations to help us towards that figure.
If you’re happy for us to do so, we will gladly announce your contributions here on DemolitionNews.com. If, however, you are a little publicity shy, then we will happily offer your company a free, anonymous and permanent advertisement here on DemolitionNews.com by way of a thank you.
We realise that times are hard and that very few of us have a monkey (that’s £500 to those of you unfortunate enough to not come from London) to throw about the place. But every little helps. We don’t care if you can donate five pounds or the full £500. Either way, we want to hear from you.
So please, if you’re willing and able to help, please just drop us a line via email (manthony@markanthonypublicity.co.uk) saying how much you’re like to donate and we’ll do the rest.
Thanks in advance for your help.
