£8+ an hour seems reasonable to me.

In this climate, it a good job for someone &17k is a reasonable wage.

theres a lot of service engineers on less than 17K, some of the majors pay 14 - 15K

[glennborthwick]

why not sub it out to people on here as an hourly basis. For example I know three machines of performs are currently out of order in North Devon as I share some sites/shop in Tescos. Wouldnt take much to clear the coin jams.

[Ade]

good idea, pay an operator on here by the hour, name site and nearest engineer could go

I doubt that most on here operate the big machines that large companies have, but that is not a big issue. However, if a site 100 miles away from base hits a problem a couple of days after it was refilled, it would be costly to send someone out. Why not consider subbing one person per region and if necessary, which may save money, or go the whole hog and sub out the whole operation.
