I have been a GGS member since the start of the scheme.Chris Poynton covers our area and is great to deal with and is always helpful. He has put a lot of effort into building up his customer base and having spoken to him today is struggling having to justify the price increase to his customers.I am not sure that being a member of the scheme has actually brought in any extra work at all.Most new work seems to come from present customer recommendation and not from GGS advertising.It is a good marketing tool for Forte and i am sure that the person responsible at Forte must have been given a hefty bonus for coming up with it.A 100% rise is unacceptable at the present time and as Gunner said invoicing for servicing is getting too high and customers are getting more conscious of the additional costs.using Forte products at service adds £22.50 to the invoice.There is a good service check list available from UKAT after all. Cheers Colin
