Hi all.

Has anyone subcontracted to this company before? They have the maintenance contract for around 200 nursing/care homes around the UK and they called me today after getting our number off Checkatrade. Payment terms are 30 days net which is fine by me. Has anyone worked for them and do they pay on time or do they mess you around?

Any experience of them welcome.

Many thanks,

Keiran.

30 days in commercial is almost unheard of dude usually 60+, can't say i've heard of them personally.

Ok no probs. Yes, I have 30 days NET in writing from them. If the invoice goes in past the 28th of the month it is nearly 2 months of course!

Give them a bash dude, just keep a leash on their tab till you see how good at paying they are 😉

Where are they based? This name sounds very familiar!

Based on Cheltenham road in Gloucester. Just looked them up at Companies House and they started trading in January 2013. Am very hesitant about working for a company that is that new in the scale of things to be honest, especially effectively offering up to 60 days credit to them.
