Anyone lost their Thomson Travel Agents and First Choice Travel Agents?

They are owned by World Of Tui', used to be Lunn Poly and Callers Pegasus, have done mine for 27 years and they went a couple of weeks ago to LPM maintenace.

The contract starts on 1.10.10.

As if you didnt have to worry about bigger W/C firms coming in, its now maintenance firms who paint this, then grease the shutters, clean afew windows, change a light bulb!

Allegedly.


Apparently competition is healthy.................
Rant over

Its the usual case innit.

Get the right PL insurance, Method of work statement, Risk assessments and Health & safety policies.

But if you are not a massive company, your'e just a bloke with a soapy bucket who cleans widies for beer and fAgs.



God I think I will get some Prozac for the wekkend, or better still, change my career!!

Hi to all

The main reason that the chains our going national is they need to move away from the shops paying contractors out of the till as money was going missing, manager says the window cleaning is £20 a week when the shiner only charges £10 a week. It's head office of the chains playing big brother, also they get budget costs across the company much better for budgets.

Just try and ask the store who has won the contract, contact them and ask to sub the work as there is not a national retail window cleaning company in the UK yet!!!!!!!

We have just lost out on two local contracts with Morrisons and Yorkshire Building Society to a company called Greig Avinou from Edinburgh.

They then contacted us asking that we subby for them on the same jobs at less than half the price that we were being paid!!!  Also the paperwork that required signing before and after each job took longer than the actual job itself.  Did them twice then walked away.
