does anybody clean halford or currys stores. if so are they done by a national company.
-
Ive just done a builders clean on a currys/pcworld refurb... the new manager is going to find out whether nationals do it or not and let me know ...
-
I've done one in the past and got paid from the till.
-
a window cleaner pal of mine used to clean our local currys and get paid from the till but they have stopped it after being told to by head office. this makes me think that a national company will be taking over.
-
I do the Comets in the Southwest, they are national. I expect Currys would be the same.
-
my brother lost currys a few months ago when head office told them to stop as a national had it
-
the halfords near me is done by a bloke who gets paid out of the till
-
how did we get onto halfords :o

how did we get onto halfords :o
the clue is in the title ;D

sorry just read it again ;D :'(

The ways I got in ,,,,,Through the front door!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
curys is national as we did them for a while
-
they are both a waste of space, I have worked for both here and there. Usually the shops are filthy with year old snots running down the windows. After a couple of cleans you get the standard speech, "we already have somebody who comes every month and head office say we have to stay with them".
These shops really make me angry, they are always the dirtiest snot ridden holes in the town, and they always swear that the windows are being done.
Conclusion: somebody is on the make, putting money in their pocket and not doing the work.
rant over

i know a bloke who use to do a few car dealerships, and when he bought his round he turned up in a car to do the windows and they said its ok mate we got some one, said ok and walked off, he still gets paid for all of them and only does 1 now,

currys and pc world = initial
dont know about halfords
-
Halfords is OCS (I think)
-
Currys is indeed initial. Halfords is also national I do one for a firm in Wales but i dont know if its their contract or if they sub it off another! Currys are cleaned every two weeks now but Halfords is pretty much every 4 or 5 months
-
Currys is done buy initial but the windows arent included in the contract, The reason I know this is because my neighbour is the manager of one, he gave me head office number to find out if I could get the contract to do it, they told me initial did them so I rung initial to see if I could have the subby work as the windows hadnt been done in 6 months and they told me that when they did quote and signed contracts the windows wherent included, I told neighbour this who then contacted head office who where very shocked when they reread the contract to find they had signed in believing windows where included but the contract stated otherwise ;D

That might of been the case up til the end of May when it was upto the store managers if they wanted initial or if they had their own guy they could keep them but from June initial have taken them on once a fortnight at I think five pounds a store.

The principal contractor.It is nothing to do with the maintenance of the stores. I work on refurb programmes, for various supermarkets. It is very much the same contractors on each different store.
The windows would have been cleaned by the contractor who looks after the internal cleaning on the Warrington refurb, inside and out. They are always done to a very high standard but I know nothing about the window cleaning ongoing after a store has been handed over to Sainsbury's.
I have a good friend and close contact, who gets me work on the Southern refurb programme and I know he has several stores that he has one or two cleaners in on a daily basis, whether they take care of the windows, again I wouldn't know.
