Title: Lost my argos contract.......

Just back from holiday and opened a letter from trafford park cleaning which regretably informed me that my services are no longer required to clean the local Argos store as the new contractor 'Interserve' is now taken over the contract......... Any one else in the same boat?

A certain mr ringwell is the head window cleaner, and Lordy Blackwell is the boss, but he's been off the tools for a while.
They live five values, and are sustainable pr etc.

This has always puzzled me - they use ssd contractors for all their contracts, but will not use them on their own offices, as we clean them :), for how much longer who knows, but i was told that they aren't particular enough for the Interserve office windows!!
