Mr electric

[Sparky Ninja]

I was the QS/Operations Manager for the London West franchise a few years ago (it has changed ownership since). I got quite involved with the head office and went on many outings with Clive and his minions. It was a money machine with 99.9% of time and meetings being out money making and 0.1% about the trade itself.

I haven't looked back since I left.
It would be unfair for me to bad mouth all the individual franchisee's, but I would advise avoiding any direct involvement with the head office.

Seen "mr electric" work once. Flooded house. Fitted temp board. I was there after to rewire, etc. Board was fitted in garage directly underneath a very badly leaking gutter...took pictures just couldnt believe someone could be so stupid. So apologies no wish to tar all with same brush. But there it is my pennys worth!

I think they are a damn fine franchise and only wish that I could afford to be a part of them. Wish you guys would stop bashing them. They are professional and look the part and we should all aspire to be just like them.
I will be contacting my bank manager next week to see if I can get myself a loan so I can become a very proud, Mr Electric franchise owner and you guys can kiss my.........

Sorry?...........
Oh yeah....I forgot....... can I have a glass of water with that?............ Cheers......

Sorry guys, that was the wife reminding me that I haven't taken my pill today.
I'm all better now.

Haha. I used to work for these.They charge way too much. I cant believe anyone would buy into this franchise. durham have you been to the training centre in birmingham ? you got to do these stupid "motivating activities" and they brain wash you with the cheesy american videos LMAO.

What pay were they paying you?

 

[mattyevz]

i did my last year apprenticeship with them as my boss bought into the fanchise. I did a couple of months qualified and left as i asked for a pay rise was on £6p/h and was doing a qualifed persons job. The other guys who were later made redundant were on £10p/h. Overtime pay was at the bosses disgression if you would get paid or not.Needed to answer the company phone after hours for no additional pay.
