Contractors
Hot off the press.
There will now only be two contractors working for Virgin Media... McNicolas and Fujitsu. McNicolas will be taking over England and Wales and Fujitsu will be taking over Scotland and Ireland. This should fall in place around March/April time. |

McNicholas have South London, South West & South East and Fujitsu have Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North East The other areas will be awarded by April. So there may be other contractors in the frame for those areas not yet awarded. |

The reason i ask is that we have not been told anything about this on the business side of VM. |
Re: Contractors
I stand corrected.
Not being in the office today, I didnt hear it direct from the horses mouth. It should be interesting to see what, if any, changes are made by these contractors. ---------- Post added at 13:01 ---------- Previous post was at 13:01 ---------- Ive not heard anything about business side of things. |

Re: Contractors
Having been awaiting a business broadband install now for a couple of months, one of the excuses for delays (outside of weather, christmas, council permits - the list goes on), is a change of contractors. Thus whatever is going on would appear to affect all of VM's areas.

Re: Contractors

Re: Contractors
The main core of the "contractors" ie the installation guys stays the same no matter who the contractor is, they just work for a different company and they can even stay on their current employment contracts if they like.

Re: Contractors
We know we are safe but obviously a few changes are going to be made, more so with management I would of thought, for all contracting companies across the country.

Re: Contractors
All the main mangers are in the Birmingham yard today, lets hope Map Group Uk have lost the contract.

Re: Contractors
Hi everyone, well I quit Avonline back about a month ago and yeaterday I had two phone calls from install techs saying that Avonline had lost the contract for Bristol for sure, but were also under the inpression they have lost the entire Virgin contract. One of the calls said that Mark Wyn (Avonline MD) had said himself about the Virgin loss, but I guess from the other posts it is indeed the entire contract has been lost.
The reason I quit if your interested, lo, tbh it's is one crappy industry to be in on the install tech side of things. Sub contract companys think they can almost make their own rules when it comes to hour's and work practice. |
