Carrillion winning business is a risk due to the way they tendered, meant a lot of tenders they won actually caused them to lose money, not sure if thats what they meant though !

Board meeting “ we”re in the shit folks” Other board members “fuck it....let’s blame Brexit for our fuck ups” “aye, all agreed, vote carried” Very poor management IMHO. Sad to see so many folk lose their jobs and livelihood, I imagine the knock on effect from this will be considerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I heard they were losing money on contracts; surely though if you know that, then you stop stupid tenders. If you don't win fine. If you do you make money. Wank management.

It was merely a play on what Leigh White said last night re the report highlighting Brexit as a possible concern for them. They were well and truly fucked even before the Brexit referendum came into play. Instead of being argumentative, your strong point I may add...........please research their history and warnings. It’s all in their RNSs...easily found on Investegate. See you later Dumbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't win fine. If you do you make money. Wank management. A roofing firm in Bolton did exactly the same......lured into loss making contracts in the belief they’d win bigger and more lucrative contracts in the next round of tendering. Guess what ? They went bust the other year too. Absolute wank management is spot on here buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
