Bloody hell! I only took a few days off and a lot has happend.
NESN owe me a lot of money, and I owe Connections plenty because of NESNs poor payments!I have put them on stop immediately, and hopefully limit the damage to my company!
I have only been working for them since March this year, and I wish I had never taken them on, the work is labour intensive and the spares have to be purchased from Connections, who are also a real nightmare to work with.
I have also been reliably informed, that Darren Harrison has just accepted a position with Whirlpool as a National Franchise Business Manager.
………..Phil
Time off, tut tut! 😉
TBH I’m not surprised, I’ve had several calls in the past few days from people getting very jittery about NESN and the non-payments. Not just the partial payments, but work not paid for, rejected and generally getting pissed about. Then on trying to speak to their accounts people no-one wants to know about it.
Your scenario is exactly the one I was worried about Phil, as if NESN do go titsup I think you are still left with having to pay them for the spares. Just the very position I’m in this month with MFI as I owe them for spares from June , bought to do NESN work with but NESN ain’t paid me for them, but MFI still want paying. Sadly Paul Brooks is on holiday till the 8th of September so I’m going to speak to Sunil Kapoor about it tomorrow and attempt to get MFI to just debit it from NESN’s payment, feck ’em. It’s all I can do as I’m not prepared to incur further loses by paying for spares that I’m not getting paid for, in effect doubling the loss in cashflow terms!
I would keep the Darren Harrison thing quiet just now and that only says to me that we need to get organised quicker. Although, it won’t work I don’t think as it never has done in the past for any other network of that ilk, so why should it work now?
