Fair City Saint Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 It's not just the Clachan employees though. My firm are due thousands and thousands of pounds from them which looks like it'll put us under and that means I'm also jobless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair City Saint Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Some inside info here if anybody's interested. The fraud squad will become embroiled in this from what I've been told from someone quite high up in the firm. Watch this space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH1 LAD Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 If peopel are stupid enough to enter contracts with a company whos credit rating has been 0 for the last two years they deserve to lose money. Not saying you deserve to lose your job fella. But you should be asking your boss why he was taking risks like that, effectively risking your job.

Because I work in the construction industry, and as a responsible company it is in your interest to vet potential client or contractors.

grr Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Because I work in the construction industry, and as a responsible company it is in your interest to vet potential client or contractors. Not many contractors would pass your vetting! in the current climate if they did not price "keenly" they would have gone 6+ months ago. Councils and nhs have not helped by squeezing out local contractors in favour of "bigger" companies. Fraud squad is interesting............... who knows what they will find!!! Sadly too late for the 200 plus the inevitable other casualties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
