Changed Company Name

admin

Ever since I got my shop (for thoose that know) I have been extremely busy. I miss sitting on here reading all the post! so I am catching up. When i started my company I named it something easy "j reynolds welding". Well since this boom we have changed names to bid on bigger jobs and open up other doors. My new company name is United Steel & Alloy.  http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rl...10746974904576 I also took some pictures of the service truck to share. 1995 GMC Diesel with lincoln ranger 8. And 1 of my lincoln sa 200's, I have a few others just not the time to put them in service! I will be trying to read up on everyones post to. And for any new readers/members reading this> the people on here know there stuff and have helped me out in a pinch before, so read on.  Attached Images
Reply:Congrats! Nice logo and font choice! First thing I though when I saw your old name was too bad you didn't have any "R" in front of the "J". "R J Reynolds Welding" "We smoke the competition" Sorry, inner Hill Billie voice coming through. 200amp Air Liquide MIG, Hypertherm Plasma, Harris torches, Optrel helmet, Makita angle grinders, Pre-China Delta chop saw and belt sander, Miller leathers, shop made jigs etc, North- welders backpack.
Reply:Thats funny, I actually live right near phillip morris. And theres nothing wrong with the inner hillbilly.
Reply:Looking Good.Is the shop comeing up to speed for you?
Reply:I liked the old name better. It said what you did i.e. welding. Unless you've branched out and now do a whole lot more stuff?I reckon the signage is too small, also. It's fine if people are up close. Or if they've got really good eyes.But you're doing well, so something is working. It's great to hear of a start-up business doing well.Yeah, I carry.House keys, wallet, some change, usually a newspaper, maybe a pen.
Reply:Glad to hear the business is doing well, J. I like the transverse springs under the SA- 200. Does she ride good on them?                                                       MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw
Reply:For the most part, I would not recommend using your name for a company name. If you build the company up and maybe even retire early then sell the business the new owner could run your name into the ground.Millermatic 200Hobart Handler 120Victor O/A & Ramco BandsawLincoln 225 ACSnapOn AD HoodMiller XMT304/22AHypertherm Powermax 1650 G3Lincoln Idealarc DC600 w/Extreme 12 VSMiller Digital Elite "Joker"
Reply:Man, it's nice to see someone out there getting it done. Looks great buddy. Transverse leaf springs seem to work great on Vette's and '32 Fords too
Reply:bigduck...  Looking Good.Is the shop comeing up to speed for you?Shop is coming along GREAT! Will have some new pictures soon.    scott brunsdon... I liked the old name better.

The mags/size are actually for the welders/equipment, the new vinyl should be in soon(will cover the entire door). As far as the name its hard to represent a company when your the owner/owners name. The bigger name sounds better and has already gotten bigger bids. I wouldnt say it a new start up either, its taken 4 years of pain to get where I am.    mla2ofus...  Glad to hear the business is doing well, J. I like the transverse springs under the SA- 200. Does she ride good on them?Mike Rides like a boat in water. All 4 of my sa 200's have them.

Reply:I have a 95 gmc Z71. Good trucks. "Have fun in your cubicle. I'll be welding" That's great! haha Glad things are goin good for you!
Reply:When I read your new business name I thought it sounded like a metal suppy company instead of a welding company. But then I saw that you got the "welding" into your truck logo. Sounds good and I'm glad to hear you are busy.The '95 GM diesels got a bad rap around here but I had a '95 Chevy and it was a good truck. I bought an '03 Duramax and and gave the '95 to my son. He's still driving it and it's still a good one.
Reply:I know this is an old post, but we are now running both companies. United bids on the jobs, and I sub them to myself, J Reynolds. Have been doing it for about a month and seen a slight increase in new calls. Attached ImagesLast edited by jreynoldswelding; 11-19-2011 at 07:14 PM.You have to learn the rules of the game.

Reply:Just wondering what the logic is behind that? does it have to do with taxes or something else?Ryan_______________________OF COURSE I DON'T LOOK BUSY... I DID IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
