Les L. Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Am looking for one or two people to help me, initially on a self-employed, part time basis, one to three days a week. Job(s) will possibly become permanent if I can find the right people. We catch and deliver Dorset shellfish and fish to London outlets. Job involves collecting ( in transit fridge vans) from our boats , driving to London and then either delivering to restaurants or selling to the public at busy farmers markets.The working day is generally 5am - 4 pm. Delivery days are currently Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday, and there is also some evening work on Mondays. I'm looking for reliable enthusiastic people that are really interested in fish and are happy selling to the public. Clean driving license required and must be over 25 ( van insurance) I will put successful applicants through fish retailing courses at Billingsgate and HSE for retail courses during the first weeks on the job. If applicants, additional to delivery and selling duties,are interested in commercial rod and line fishing, i will sponsor them through the tickets required to fish commercially, and offer share- fishing work on my boat. Pay will be good for the right people and will reflect the somewhat unconventional hours.Business is growing rapidly and there will likely be further opportunities and job variety. Please PM me if interested telling me a bit about youself if i dont already know you ( i was a club member until starting the business in 2008 at which point I left the club due to possible RSA/Commercial conflicts of interest) les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Les Good luck in your hunt for a new employee, sounds like a perfect job for a fish nut Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Note : Some questions raised by a few club members : Presumably if taken by a club member it would immediately put their club membership into the "conflict of interest" category ? What is the stance on club members selling their fish ( because that is presumably where this could take us ? ) I am sitting on the fence here but having received a number of messages - also need to consider :- "do we want people advertising catching fish for sale on our site" ?

Maverick Martin Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 We already have an advert on our site from a large commercial company selling fish. Bait being just a small part of their business. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niggle Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Terry wouldn`t be any good for Alun,as he would eat all the profits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Derek Personally I don't think so but members can discuss and raise any issues they like at meetings or in the members only section of the website.

Les L. Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Presumably if taken by a club member it would immediately put their club membership into the "conflict of interest" category ? not really Paul, job is delivery and sales, the fishing part entirely optional les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjb Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 are fishermen not allowed to enjoy fishing for fun as well as work i think its good that they rod and line caught graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Agree with Graham above. Lets be sensible with this - catching, selling and eating fish isnt wrong - provided it's done sustainablly, which IMO Les does. Have you had any applicants Les? If you can provide a company car, private healthcare, 25 days full paid holiday a decent bonus scheme and match my current salary... I'll gladly take the job!
