Homeserve

Had an interesting chat today with somebody from Homeserve corporate. They employ zero heating engineers for insurance claims, and have not done for some two years. Everything gets done by subbies at a ****-poor rate, with the usual poor conditions, and mushroom management.
It does not seem very likely that they are/were/will be capable of attracting/retaining high quality engineers with lots of experience and knowledge.

Something to remember for engineers and homeowners alike.

All of these type of organisations are the same, they want a cut of an RGI'S business, screw him into the ground offering £25 to service a BBU, charging the client £20 a month !! There are lots of these sorts that target new Gas Safe start ups, offering loads of work claim to pay with 14 days etc etc I know because I have been caught by some of them my advice to new start business, "You don't need these sharks, avoid them at all costs!!!"
