Report
Very unprofessional ignorant recruitment, had an interview for a permanent job but because I was already working via the agency they been holding my application without giving me any feedback or updates if what they have decided, called the reception many times to get diverted to the recruiters line but never any answer and when I ask the receptionists to forward a call back I hear nothing.
Was promised to be given full time work via the agency for 13weeks till permanent but still no reply. Their relationship with the agency is more important than a worker.

Disgraceful bullying behaviour on the road by the lorry driver W6 CHT in Hornsey earlier today!!! 2 lanes became one and full of my car length was ahead of the lorry but instead of holding back the driver pushed all the way forward to cut me off then he had dared to say that I was breaking a highway code on the top of his voice when I caught up with him later on!!! I think he must have forgotten the highway code. It's not like if lorry pushes me off the road I will try to fight it. Train your drivers properly or get them off the road. They are very dangerous.

Inconsiderate delivery service, managed to block a narrow road in a busy street in London, forcing cars to go round the truck. Calling the company was useless, and the manager felt it was not his problem. Should have been more responsible in checking the logistics of a delivery and a truck of this size, take public concerns seriously, or blocked off and paid for space on the road for a size of lorry this large.

Been here on a few occasions for collection, lovely, polite lady in the office. Turn around is good. Depending on how busy they are.

Verbally abused by a Chris Hayter driver (Paddy) on the Wolvercote roundabout today, shortly after he'd finished beeping at another unlucky vehicle. His words to be exact were, "Move your car forward you f-ing c***", whilst continuing to beep like a crazy man. If all the drivers are like this, I'd think twice about using this cowboy company. Will be making contact with the police shortly as it's only going to me a matter time until he causes an accident.
