Re: Princes risborough works
OK John. What did you think of BCL? I did some cross hire work for them in Tilbury docks several times but did n't think much of them or the slow paying.
PS. Are you sponsored by Readypower Ryan? You put up a smashing banner!

Re: Princes risborough works
Nick, was on hire to them with a time sheet signed by the hirer and they argued the toss. In the end it was going to court but they paid on the last day! That Marry Byrne was said to be a fierce woman, she was on the phone, in the flesh, well, I never had to find out!
Oh, forgot to say, they wanted drivers for the hire in the docks but I wouldn't supply any because of the slow paying. When I got there with my machine, low and behold, some of the self employed men I used were there! I was pi**ed off, but not as much as the drivers were when it took them about 2 months to get paid just for wages!
That, as they say, was the end of that!
