Hello and welcome to “Moonlighters”
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and give you some background into the concept of this site.
I have been within the domestic appliance industry for over 30 years, during which time I have been approached by many of my customers on numerous occasions, as to whether I know of a tradesman e.g. Electrician, Mechanic, Builder, Plumber, in fact all sorts of tradesmen, that would do a small job “on the side”. I am sure you have been asked similarly.
Occasionally I was able to recommend someone, but invariably I couldn’t.
It was in 2006 that I hit upon the idea to create a site that would bring together Tradesmen and others who offer a service in their normal occupation and who are prepared to do the occasional “job on the side” or people that perhaps have the urge to start their own business but are just a bit unsure and feel it would be too much of a gamble.
In addition, as the name “Moonlighter” can be construed as someone who works by moonlight, it seems fitting that established businesses that offer out of normal business hours services, may also register their services.
I passionately believe that this site is much needed by both the “Moonlighter” and the person looking for the services of the “Moonlighter” and will eventually be THE PLACE to look a “One Stop Shop” so to speak.
The benefits for you as a “Moonlighter” in using this site are:
1. You can be sure that the people that visit this site will be the people looking for the services that YOU offer.
2. You can be confident in the knowledge, that you have the option to disclose or not disclose, certain contact information for you, ensuring a degree of anonymity from your employers.
3. Costs to you the “Moonlighter” are minimal and would easily be recouped from your very first private job. (see subscriptions).
Thank you for showing an interest and taking the time to read through this. If you elect to register as a “Moonlighter” I wish you every success for your future.
Kind regards,
Graham Maddison
