the maoster:
I hear what you’re saying about agency Dozy, and agree that it can be a bit hit and miss. Although it does unfortunately seem to be a bit “if your face fits” at ours with agency lads. I got a mate in (ex Turners at Bicker) and he does Mon to Fri and has never been dropped for a shift yet. They have employed a fair few agency lads recently though and as we still have the old Salvesons T’s & C’s it’s a million miles apart from agency wages etc once you’re employed.They’ve also announced that they’re building a new 140000 pallet super store which will be operational within 2 years, so that’ll mean that the fleet size will triple.
I do hear good things about Mountains at Sleaford though, so they may be worth you having a trip over there.
to be honest I don’t know why he went to your place for interview living at skeggy , he was never going to stick it , moaning about travelling for assessment / interview , even though it was tramping he was going for , he’s now on for Clements I think it is and other than having to work sundays he’s settled
I had a mate who took redundancy at our place and went to mountains on skips , he came back to our place not long after on casual and said don’t go there .
I’m waiting for the new asda rdc to open at grantham , though the rumour has been going on for 10/20 yrs so I’m not holding my breath , but 57 this year , me / Mrs retiring at 60 so not long to go anyway
