speaking to an employee of theres today and it was telling me how he does the bupa care homes in the north east, he told me they charge 45 per home(iv seen a few and there quite a resonable size) and they give one man 1 hour and a half.

it seems there charging extremly low but expecting the work done with in there price structure which is resulting in .......many complaints.

they are picking up lots of work but with this kind of model its only time till the lose more than they gain me thinks?

The nationals seem to be picking everything up

There is a ressesion and companys are cutting back big time so the cheaper the better at the min or so it looks

It seems to be how the national or bigger companies work. Get the contract by going in cheap then do a quick, crap job! It probably works most of the time too as it seems that the quality of the work isn't a big factor for most of these bigger clients. However, it seems BUPA may see it differently & some of the others may begin to resent being ripped off more.


Can't stand that smarmy twot (tony) from UK commercial anyway, nor that Duncan thingy so as far as I'm concerned I hope they bomb out, big time!

bupa will see it different as they customers are probably complaining,

[ronnie paton]

any it also the staff that are un happpy has there ringing me for a job

[ian1972]

Was it them that were selling a couple of vans on eBay other week?

[darren clarke]

with the big UK onside,  no, it was some one on here

A lot of commercial customers have to take the lowest quote. The council does round here. Not much point trying to compete.

Mayb the key to getting decent commercial work is to do wat they do and do it as cheap as them?not sure how u can make money though
