They were pretty good back in the day, price for the job, none of this hourly rate crap.

 

Way back when, my mog, chipper and operator was £350+vat for a night on the railway, plus £150+vat for me climbing.

 

Martins won the contract, they rang me and offered £270+vat for the mog and operator for a night, I just laughed :biggrin:

IMO, subbing to such organisations is a mugs game, but then there is IME no shortage of mugs.

 

 

For once I agree with you! I did the PQQ then looked into it further and it was a piss take, wanting me to spend money and jump through there hoops on the off chance I might get a job! Told em to do one

We do a lot of subbing, it's ok if you trust the firm you work for, I had a nightmare with Glendale, I wouldn't work with them again. But then ihave done maybe £150 with another firm last year with no problems. You need to watch out for Marks and Spencer syndrome.

This is when you begin subbing for a firm and then you get to a stage where thy give you so much work that you can't afford to loose them, then they have you by the short and curlies.
