Hard to believe that is an official site.
The text appears to have been written by a 10 year old.

I don't like to be rude about about any CIU members but whoever wrote that has to be an idiot.

We are still around the 3000 mark. Staffing issues.

We still have steady growth but it tends to be 'organic' at the moment.

And after a violent day at work dealing with the mass majority of killer clients, log onto a forum and ripped some otherwise respectful cleaner apart with your bare teeth.

I think I will join the French foreign legion for some rest time

Haha rarely post on here these days but reading that has made me chuckle to say the least, made my morning Neil although you are right, it does indeed look like a 10 year old has written it and the alarming thing is Bryans background as a committe memeber of the FWC. Are you smarter than a 10 year old? Clearly not it would appear ;D

Mind you have also got to love this gem!!! Sounds under the thumb and really is nothing to do with the article IMO.
