It has been announced today that from the 7/8/07 Cobra Installations will not be installing for VM.

So who will be???

Is this the beginning of the end?

No doubt one of the many sub-contractors that already do the installs....... I guess

The question should be...
Why are Cobra pulling out. Are they running at a loss?

If so why would anyone else try to do it.

The contracting installers are on a poor enough wage as it is.

If another contractor tries to make a profit off a similar tender that Cobra had then it would be the installers that will be hit, meaning more rushed installs to get a decent wage meaning VM having more disputes and more unhappy customers...
