Did some planting on one of their sites as a subby a few years ago. We were whip planting on a site where there was no machinery or even any other contractors and we were required to wear hard hats, hi viz, safety glasses, gloves and steel toe cap, lace-up boots. Every box needs to be ticked. No idea what they are like to deal with on a higher level.

Yep it's not looking good...but I think the government will have to save face a bail them out...I just thought a lot more guys on here had ground clearing or tree contacts with them especially with H2O being pushed on.

I feel for those that will made redundant, but its time for the big loss making, contract sucking, faceless, SME killing big 5 to fall. 

 

They all started 10 - 15 years ago, systematically bought out the competion and closed them down, not good ethics.

PFI is done, its fucked, theyve killed everyone, now just spend their time under cutting each other, all making a loss, not paying their subbies their dues

It was a while ago now but cleared a lot of trees and scrub on motorway banks over a three year period for Carillion , no problems with payments or otherwise.

The contracts I believe wernt the problem, initially, Cameron made it law that any private company taking over a public one must honour the pensions. Most of the pensions where paid at 3:1. 

 

Very good if your recieving the pension, not so much if your paying it ......

Hope they finish the bypass that’s not even half done before they go bankrupt! Or is this a tree firm of the same name?
