gaspastemania thats why its called house bashing and not heating installations. I did some inspection work for a company called gas care from south wales. i was looking at the work they had done in old swan liverpool and i was ashamed to be part of the same company and left.

bashing being the choice word with eaga , worst firm i have ever contracted to by an absolute mile but then have never worked for BG .

Had a mate work at Eaga and he hated it, he was on the books though and not contracting. On the point of people slagging off BG on here, I thinks its unfair to those who may have been interested in her offer. She's not going to reply on here now and now some poor sod might have lost out on an opportunity of work. I lost my job in September and know how hard it can be to fin work. Despite what people may think of BG its selfish to have used this post to vent their frustration towards them here and stop somebody finding work. Out of order if you ask me as at the end of the day work is work no matter who its for

villa tom i know what your saying but id of thought anyone wanting the work will just contact bg not talk to a rep on here, who may or may not even be from bg!! its not like bg are hard to talk to there is many different ways to contact them. Id not of thought such a big company would need to advertise on here tho? i could be wrong but i think that bg prob still get loads of ppl wanting to work there. I cant comment on being on there books as a full timer, only as a sub contractor and it was awfull. Esp in parts of wales wer you often come across thick stone walls to get through, funny enough tho it always seemed to be given to subs rather than there own guys.

Hi,

Thanks to the people who have expressed interest through this thread. BG recruit in lots of different ways, but our requirements change all the time in terms of who we need and where our vacancies are, so I am just trying something different and hopefully reaching a new audience through this forum. I appreciate that not everyone's view of any big company is positive, but as I have said previously, I cannot comment on these opinions as I don't know the background. If these issues have been brought to our attention by the customers involved, I would hope they have been dealt with on an individual basis. We do have thousands of fantastic staff who put in a lot of work to give customers a great service, and I just want to find more of those type of people!

Thank you Helen for bringing BG recruitment requirements to the attention of our members and forum visitors,am sure many may well be interested in the opportunities available

I see some have gone off topic and raised other alleged issues and that Helen has responded to the best of her ability and we thank her for that

However please keep thread on topic as it is unfair to others interested in the openings available and disrespectful to Helen who is just keeping all informed of opportunities available

If any members wish to continue off topic discussion,please open a separate thread ,please note any more off topic posts will be removed

Any problems please pm
