my advice would be sit tight and see how the GE pans out, how the new year evolves and what happens with the economy. There may be a glut of redundancies and unemployment and courier handy man jobs may well become saturated meaning less work and cheaper rates. Alternatively, the economy may feel a slight short term bounce and depending on demographics in your area, you may see a net reduction in low skilled workers, giving more scope.

But being self employed is tougher and puts way more onus on you. So think it through, consider all the avenues, pros and cons, and weigh it up.

But I’d very much suggest you hang fire for now, at least til there is less uncertainty.

I've worked for the family business for the last 22 years, I'm not self employed as such but basically were a 7 day a week company, so I have to be on call for the duration of that time, sometimes I'm not sure what day it is. If I had my time again I would work for someone else.
dekparker has the right idea, get your HGV class 1, you are working on your own so less hassle from work colleagues, (knobheads). circa £15 an hour, work Monday-Friday, park it up, go to pub. Happy days.

massive shortage for HGV drivers (&mechanics) and will only get worse as it’s an older workforce.
