    Just got this email from Repairtech and laughed when I saw the rates on offer.
    Is this a wind up??

    =================

    Dear all,

    As from 4th January 2016 Repairtech will become a Service Partner for the Hoover Candy Group. The work will start in two stages.

    The first stage will be ‘Gas products’ and all calls will be passed through our portal system. It is vitally important that the call status is updated on a daily basis. All the spare parts will be held at the Repairtech Parts Distribution Centre and will be supplied on a F.O.C basis for all Hoover Candy repairs.

    The call rates can be seen below:
    • Electric Products – £40.00 per completed call
    • Gas Products – £45.00 per completed call

    The second stage will be for ‘Refrigeration products’ with the start date to be confirmed at a later stage.

    The call rates can be seen below:
    • Refrigeration Products – £40.00 per completed
    • Additional £25.00 for sundries
    I would like to thank you all for your hard work, commitment and support throughout the year and look forward to a prosperous 2016 for us all.

    Kind regards,

    Phil Beddoes
    Technical Manager

    There was no consultation with the WTA regards the stunning rate on offer.
    They have forgotten that members are not obliged to accept work

    When Ken & I were lads, Candy Gias had their own service network. Taken them over 15 years to fail to realise what they had at their disposal. Tee Hee.

    Phil Beddoes incidentally some may know him. Once worked for Aga Rangemaster, then became service manager for the Caple (Maurice Lay) network. He’s older than I am, and ought to be put out to grass. He isn’t really a shifter and mover either, so full of Crap his eyes are brown!

    Wasn’t in my time at DASA. Neither was Graham Chandler who was his boss at Rangemaster. When Phil went to Maurice Lay there wasn’t any relationship either. He was supposed to show at a National Service Convention back when DASA was on the up – under the stewardship of Steve Debeger – but he failed to show.

    Pains me to say this, but I suspect DASA is only too pleased to accept anyone and fall into bed with them accordingly.

    I spoke to Dave the other day Alex and he *thinks* he was involved at some stage but can’t rightly recall.

    If you mean Dave Coombes, he has been out the loop a couple of years now.

    My last involvement with DASA was three years ago, and Dave went not too long after. I won’t go into details but another Dave caused huge damage, and sadly DC let it happen as he was struggling on is own with pressures, internal wrangling and health issues.

    Anyway, when I was on council, right up to my retirement Phil Beddoes hadn’t shown any interest. He may have done since, but knowing how flaky the guy is, not likely.

    No, I don’t really think he has either.

    When I asked why bother with DASA he struggled to give any reason but then, as you kindly say, he is a bit flaky.

    He’s also hawking out GIAS work, you know the usual cr4p they don’t want to or cannot do, at £40 a call for gas and fridge work. Methinks it’s wishful dreaming at that given the HP recall is the same money and, it’s a sh1t deal. 😉
