I've worked for them since October, just been told that no payments being made to contractors until March, everyone will have to go on 90 days from now on. Rumour is they were hammered with burst pipes etc and obviously need time to recover with public paying monthly premiums in and no outgoings etc.
Needless to say as of yesterday, I used to work for them!
Formal demand for payment drawn up yesterday, I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks boys, it always helps when you marry a partner in a Law Firm
I'll keep you posted
John.
Thanks guys.
I was contacted by them yesterday to attend a local boiler breakdown. I thought it was worth a punt as their rates, although not brilliant, seemed ok and as I say the job was local. The boiler (puma 80e) had a faulty modulation board. After a few 0844 (pricey) phone calls I was given the authorisation to go ahead with the repair, of course the new board would have to be purchased by me. They then sent me an application to become one of their approved service/repair technicians.
Their application/vetting procedure is something else. While I understand the need for them to be assured that applicants are bona fide insured companies and are CRB clear for their customer’s security, they also require a copy of last year’s books together with projected forecasts AND a signed authorisation giving them access to view my company business bank account. I found this all a little strange as it is my company that would be extending a line of credit to them rather than the other way around.
Anyway, I’ve sent them the invoice for yesterday’s work and have given them seven days to honour it. I’ve been down the litigation route for debts from large company’s before so it’s nothing that worries me per se, I was just wondering if anyone else had or is dealing with them and how they’re getting along?
