[scorpiojohn1@bt]

Wh's doing what around the areas. Project First have stopped doing Co-op's. Any other companies got new contracts.
Whats happening at Carters. Have we got an answer on who's doing what for Tesco?

[CAPTAINBIRDSEYE]

[scorpiojohn1@bt]

I was hoping Honeywell were taking the Co-ops on.

[thewatcher]

Project first wont be doing service anywhere

[scorpiojohn1@bt]

not cosidering they've been sold to Arcus fm as of the middle of March.

[chillled]

i heard that too, Arcus are going all 'City' on Sainsburys. Great work but i bet t+c's are ****e though

[thewatcher]

I dont think there was any selling involved. cant comment on contracts as yet

[Spencer.Guy]

Arcus Engineering, a company wholly owned by Arcus F.M.(which is 50% owned by Sainsbury), will from the 17th March be carrying out the M & E and Fridge service work for J.S. covering the same sites that P-first were covering.
They're currently advertising for extra staff in the South, all disciplines.

Would also be interested to know what is happening with the co-op contract :confused:

[bill1983]

[scorpiojohn1@bt]

Co-op have not made an official anouncement but its heavily rumoured that Carters have got Sheffield to the borders of Scotland. Space have got the same area on the west. Not sure about Scotland or Wales. But, nothing is official till Co-op make their announcement

[asitis]

[darrenbrabben36]

[scorpiojohn1@bt]

Looks like I'll be working for Carters. What are they like to work for? How much work do they have in Yorkshire?

[yorkshire]

They have no work in me, but i will hopefully find work in them :D are you looking to be tupe'd to carters? or applying like the rest of us T shirt swappers ;)

[scorpiojohn1@bt]

I'm hoping to be Tupe'd. Do you want to PM and tell who you work for at the mo

[yorkshire]

Can't PM you as you need 15 posts to use the PM system on here :(

[yorkshire]

I know this may be a bit late in the thread but which companies were doing the Co-op contract before the change?

[richelli]

TJ covered cumbria and some over newcastle but didnt have the engineers to cover call so used to subby a lot out. I used to work for a company that covered some of the call for them. They took it over when Sycro went to the wall.

[MikeJ160175]

Peak were doing the North-West..

[scorpiojohn1@bt]

Peak did Yorkshire and they overlapped with Project First. But the whole of Yorkshire and North east has been awarded to Carters.

[scorpiojohn1@bt]

Can't PM you as you need 15 posts to use the PM system on here
You have 18 posts.

[yorkshire]

You have 18 posts.

Yes but you only have 10 :p you need 15 posts to receive PM's.

[Latte]

Anyone know when the co-op are going to announce. Just wondering who's got East Anglia although over the year various people have done small area's dont know if anyones ever covered a large area

[chad]

appears that KB have got the north ie Scotland!

[blisterncoldII]

what happened to clwyd

[tony--1]

I was hoping Honeywell were taking the Co-ops on.

heard that they were paying guys off ???
dont now if its true . anybody heard anything ?

[smoggy]

anyone getting tuped would advise you seek proffessional advise,what some companies are trying to do falls outside of tupe so dont be pressured or pushed into signing a new contract even if your new employer tells you its legal to make you,,,it proberbly is not

[bluebottle]

Do you ever feel that the industry is being led by a bunch of play actors who being elevated to positions of management for whatever reason wether nepotism or the licking of a noble rectum here and there, leave us engineers to take it up the rear port everytime that the likes of Sainsburys or M&S etc decide they can be more cost efficiant and change the contractors?
I was one of those tupeed individuals a few years ago when SGMS got the nod and a load of good service companies then along with their engineers were left wondering .
I got out, after all it was the fourth time, and as i read these threads on this forum nothings bloody changed !! Trouble is the supermarket money is relativly good and regular , trouble is you rely on that and become trapped !!
