Has anyone heard anything about this consolidation. I spoke to Steve Ellison some weeks ago about new rates and was told that a letter was to be circulated ‘in the next few days’ but sofar nothing. I muted the point that I wasn’t going to continue at £27.00 a job but this didn’t cause much of a response. Anything going on??

No, but funny you mentioned it as I was wondering myself today.
I had the letter telling us all about the change to Prescot in Merseyside, and they would be in touch very soon, and that was it.
I would have thought they would at least check out who is who now in the repair circle. Now that the silly season is hotting up, they could be finding it difficult to keep abreast of the cooking work, and all the time some of their new found agents are fully conversant with their products already.
I suppose they will get round to it, I’m wating to see how the payments start filtering through before I get too excited.

Eh! £27 a call for refrigeration, are you insane?
No wonder they’re not using Expert as they’d charge £45 or more and make an arse of it. 😆
I seem to recall that LEC rates were pretty good at one stage, we were agents for years but dropped them due to low volumes and pain in the butt calls, but they dropped the rates and we immediately dropped them.

I dropped Lec for £27.00 per call to cover medicine fridges in hospitals and doctors surgerys. Where you can’t park, nurses used the fridge to keep their sarnies in and the milk, totally upsetting the strict reporting proceedures for temperature control.
Stupid money, that the commercial world wouldn’t even start their vans for.

Still £27 per call, but there is the mileage allowance, and we do a far bit of driving in this area being fairly rural, if you know what I mean. Therefore most calls are at £32 and some at £36.
Regards Medical, we don’t touch them, used to but got fed up of going to hospitals and nobody knowing what product was faulty, or even where it was.
We don’t do enough of them to cause us a problem, but I wouldn’t entertain other products such as the cooking for such silly money. If I have an issue with their pricing structure, I will deal with it before the Summer kicks in for sure.

Re: LEC?Glen Dimplex
Is this thread exclusive to the Subs Forum or can it be moved to the Rumour Mill I wonder?

Agreed, after all the subscriber forum is here for a reason, and some things are better being said behind closed doors. For example my remark regards driving distances.
However, that should not detract from raising this afresh in the rumour mill, and those of us that have already posted will copy & paste from here the bits we feel we need to make more public.
