Hmmmm..
Goods and services i think. I build and supply scenery mainly for theatres and television commercials. The project i am currently working on is the supply of some "theming" objects which are to be installed on a cruise ship. the company commissioning us are american based in fort lauderdale, whereas the ship is being fitted out in a shipyard in italy. so the goods will travel from my workshops in Oldham to Italy. then one or two of us will go to the ship (in Italy) to do a kind of final fit & handover. that bit could be the services bit. What do you think??
