Tescos

[NIKK38]

It's not just a case of taking stores, it's about taking the Contract. Space currently do half of the country. Have WR got offices and engineers in as many locations as Space ? Another thing to consider is: if Tesco's move away from Space, Fridge/HVAC, which companies out there can offer both services?

[chillin out]

WR have more than twice the locations than space. Including 2 in Scotland which Space have none of.
Look at both their websites and click 'locations'

HVAC is going in-house anyway.

Before space got the tesco contract about 2 years ago WR did most of the service for tesco and still do some now so if they got the majority of them it would be business as usual, plus if it is the majority engineers will be tupe'd from space, but wouldn't leave space much to do north of bormingham would it. Oh dear poor warrington branch! All will be revealed!!!!

WR has got 24 branches and cover all the uk from them . Space got 10 mainly in the south . I think WR could do the work np . I cover the north west and had the work 2 years ago

But, doesn't that ask the question - "If WR are so good and did such a good job, why did they lose ther contract ?"

Not sure either if TUPE would apply. It all depends on the percentage of work for an individual engineer that is lost. It still leaves Sainsbury's, M&S, Lidl, Aldi, Somerfield and others. With variations per area.

WR lost the contract because they would not work for free . Tesco tryed to tell them how much they would do the work for . It doesint work that way

ppl forget Hussman did the work and look at them now . Oh yer there gone !

There's a meeting next week with Tesco's and all the major players. Should know within a day after that who has got what.
If Space do lose out, who is big enough to fill their boots?. Who has the labour force and the resources to take on such a big slice of the pie?
Watch this SPACE.......

I know space have to go in cheap to get the work as they have a lot of out goings

I was going to buy Space out, the work they was doing is a good turn over not very good profit

You are right

[spacecadet]

should hopefully know this week who has tesco contract.

[coolhibby1875]

i think the smart money says wr are going to get the work they have twice the branches and twice the amount of engineers than space.

[bernard]

Hi

I would think it would be split betweem WR, Space,Project first,GB hopefully there will be news soon. However Project First may surprise a few people.....

B..

[chillin out]

I think giving it to project first would be a waste of time.
They are only project managers, I don't think they own a single item or employ an actual engineer (although I could be wrong).

Who would do the actual work, WR? Space?

Hi

Project First bought a Welsh Refrigeration company named Red Kite..Keep your eyes and ears on them I think.

[eurocooling]

wr are more than big enough to take stores from space and as for engineers they just go with the $$$$$$$$$$

Space are not big enough to do the job they go in cheap and pay crap money the trade is gone bad and I blame all these companies they should stuck to there prices as Tescos have made enough money

Apparently Space did not go in cheap, thats why WR got it a few weeks ago but then it got taken off them because of small print .
Only now Space have dropped their price to compete with WR.
