I believe that when they started they had all the good ideas, but to come up with a good idea and put it down to practice its all different matter.
Running and managing any type of business is always a challenge.
I hope they will do well in future, because they must of done a lot of ground work to get where they were.
-
they seemed to be surrounded by rumour almost from the word go from what i remember, werent they the ones who had a massive telesales campaign to snap up SMEs ?.
running a business a challenge ? do you often deal in understatements then ?
-
I saw the original pitch on Dragons Den and they were awful, didn't they get all their figures messed up??
One thing I do remember is them telling the dragons that they were doing £360 000.00 per year with 18 staff and all I could think was how crap that figure was!!
Rob ;D

thats right Rob, i reckon its a contrived show anyway but that seemed to be a classic example of a push from above (dam bloody wary of the "Fughters boyfriend etc etc).
there wouldnt be a lot of bunce in 360k and 18x FTE wages.
i think there has been some streams on here about them in the past, especially when they started to "carillionise".
im very bloody wary of the "F" (franchise) word at the best of times to be honest but i would like to hear of anyone elses opinion or experience of them
-
iv spoken to a member of there staff once, they get paid min wage dont get paid to they get to work(he said he was travelling 4-5 hours there and back un aid some days!! they get to keep van but have to use own water to fill un less living near one of there refill yards.
they get given times to complete jobs and im told often impossible sometimes 100% out
from speaking to him i guarentee that windows get cleaned with un pure water has there is noprecedure in place to make sure staff a) have regular resin or filters b) only the driver checks the water and he doesnt care if its 000 or 10000

I hope the numptys go bust, driving down prices big time and doing a rubbish job to.
Same as the bloody fireman part time wannabes rubbish prices as they only use it to top up wages. I just hate people doing work for very cheap prices. I lossed a great job to uk cc as the new owners had a contract with uk cc. They guy travels from swindon to the site for almost 70% less than I was doing it for. As for the Fireman you guys do a wonderful job, but as for window cleaning especially in this area they are a pound more exsensive than the dole boys. :o
