Is Carillion The Start Of A Wild Fire?

[WesD]

Will this be a one off or will it spread ie will Amey be next.....?

[Gray git]

Metaphorical wild fire or are they setting fire to other companies, care to explain

 

 

[WesD]

What I’m getting at is metaphorical yes, if they can’t sustain contracts of the size and workload they had can Amey?

 

Are Amey any better? Or are the contracts far too large? 

 

The pension pots pots alone must be huge!!

Ah got you, hadn't read the other thread. I do think quality of work slips within these large companies and they price with the view they can only turn a profit on extras charged at an extortionate rate and if this does not happen then they are fooked.
Just look at fountains, till hill where have they gone now even balfors at one time they were so many of them it was easier to spot than Eddie stobarts but round here it's only now amey vans everywhere so who knows.

Nah Amey are too rubbish to go down the pan K

Graygit- Balfours got heaved over the coals for similar shit work on projects , audits on their finished work were scathing K

Griffiths Civil Engineering group in Abergaveny sold out to " Tarmac " last Wednesday, I have a good friend who advises a top Uk builders merchant group & he is saying the construction / Housing market in the population centres might be starting to tip towards un-settled times, The Carillion thing will cause a massive head ache for someone, Support & logistics work on the HS2 project is well under way , one of our customers was working on Storage compounds for the project 14 months ago & he was working for Carillion " Who will build HS2 ? 

[Matthew Storrs]

I personally think HS2 is a complete waste of time- and would prefer to see the money spent else where rather than tearing through good countryside!

Looking on the amey website  (sad I know) they had a part goverment contract with carillon, now amey have the full contact. Also didn't know that amey isn't UK owner either.

 

Keir another big one, doing well it appears to be
