just to let you know that these schemes have been planned, constructed and launched under the very noses of the vast majority of their own Select Decorators. It is being run by the same people. Their own members have been told that this will not affect their own work and should that happen they will "probably" close this new scheme down. Some selected members were told 2 weeks ago that this new scheme was in the pipeline and that it was aimed at the big players. a look at the decorator plus website would throw doubt on that. The design service and decorator plus are linked as the terms and condition section clearly states. It even says that the guarantees they offer are not as good as their own Select Decorators. Who's kidding who here. I and many members of our scheme feel badly let down by what we consider to be a foray into our market using us as a benchmark when all along bigger plans were on the back burner. Many of us also feel that had we not been generous with our information and strategies in the past, honestly given, this would never have got off the ground. When a large company like ICI decides that it wants to move into the paint application and maintenance field and has the financial clout to ensure its success then long term I think you need to be looking over your shoulders. I apologise to any on here that have been swayed by my arguments and staunch defence of a scheme that I and others truly believed was for the clients benefit and not a corporate money spinner. I would point out to those that will be reading this from outside that the last statement was my opinion to which I am entitled..... This scheme is up and running in 5 areas now and the plans are in place for it to go national next year.
