that sounds good to me mate! a would really like a crack at kellys

skateboard_B · 13-12-2011, 16:01

Does anyone work for mjquinns? Or kellys in north east England? What are Quinn like to work? Any advice would be greatly appreciated... also I'm hearing kellys are being dropped by bt openreach and Quinns are getting majority of the work?? Few lads i know were working for kellys in north east but said conditions were terrible...
Thanx in advance!!

BT Openreach have just booted out a lot of the night team agency guys. They were completing the llu broadband work. Most areas will be changing to days in the new year. BT have done this because of the new agency rules coming in soon and were going to see a 50% cost increase.
From my own experience anything to do with Kelly's is risky!

Does anyone know the latest on McNicholas in the Bristol area?
Ive heard that they are on a warning or two from VM for poor performance and that Avonline have picked up some of the work again.
Is there any truth in this? would be interesting to find out if anyone knew

Yeah they have got till the April to sort it out. If they don't vm will probably kick them into touch and get another contractor. And it will just keep going on like this forever. I think there is one common denominator for all these contractor?????

To much work in to little time, and that is the bottom line in my opinion

I heard fujitsu are in the same boat they were on a pip that they failed big time. But as long as these contractors keep the same management in charge of the sites things will never change.

I work for Fujitsu and u really need to work hard and long how's to make any money! if it was me I wouldn't join a contractor again! the management are hopeless and don't care about anything they are only interested in how many job have been completed in a day, and as redone says the management laugh at you coz there sitting in a office or there house
