I have a family member who is a mechanic and they are really busy. People are keeping cars for longer so more repairs.

This may be true, but in industry some service sectors are really slow. If you are a sub-contractor things could be tougher if the work is done 'in house' as servicing budgets are cut right back.

Routine maintenance schedules are being substituted with breakdown cover only, fool hardy but can cut costs.

RM computers- as they rely on the government for investment and there is a massive 'building schools of the future' scheme running.

Overbudget and RM are not the only supplier and are expensive. RM are more of a primary school supplier now a days not seondary and BSF is for secondary schools.

PS how long will goverment keep spending high?

Job websites and places like this.

In addition, they own Dakta, which sell traditional and educational toys, which see an increase in sales during a recession.

I did warn you. They will lose millions on BSF now on work they have done on projects that will no longer go head.
