Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

Best job for me and many others has to be Mastabar.  For 17 yrs I worked there until I was made redundant in March 2003.  Great pay and really nice people to work for and with.   Oh and by the way you could get away with murder!

Howard and Bulloughs ( A. K. A Platts Saco Lowell) was a great place to work. Started work after leaving school at 15, apprenticed as a toolmaker for five years, and worked in the tool room. At that time two pounds per hour, with overtime, also worked on the company fire brigade on weekends. For a 21 year old guy to earn 100 pounds per week it was great work. The only problem was a foreman call Alex, he made my life hell for a period. Now I see it's a hotel complex, how life changes !!!!!.

Hey Anne
I can boil an egg without burning it. When do I start? Do I get to wear one of those big tall white hats and attack the staff with the meat chopper when the pan boils over? Sounds lovely! [smiley=dork.gif] [smiley=microwave.gif]

Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

[smiley=behead.gif]. Your a bad boy tealeaf.

ME!!! Self employed and can't be beaten!

So, what do you do lesley.

Can't say coz then I'd have to shoot you!! LOL Seriously there is a particular person that would know who I was if I posted that and I don't want them to be aware! Sorry

It's o.k. lesley. :lol:

Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

Well said lesley, i've been self employed for a while now, i did 11 years in a factory and i've never looked back!!

I can get on with the job at a steady pace without a supervisor bagering constantly.

Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

I've been self employed for 3 months now and i've not looked back once. There's a lot to be said for it.

Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

I'd love to be self-employed. Only problem is - I wouldn't know what kind of business to have!

Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

Got stopped by the police once. he said "Your drunk!!" I said. "I know. It's a works outing" He said "But you're on your own. " "Aye" says I. "I'm self employed!!"

Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

:rose8: Self Employed is the way to go,after being in the forces for 18yrs doing what you want to do is a life changing experiance. Its easier over here (America) to be self employed, no stupid euro rules, and Petrols cheaper! So come and join the migration http://erapologroup.net/

Re: Good *Firms or organisations to work for.
 

I also worked for Mastabar. It was a very friendly firm. I had an admin job and there was never any snobbery or 'them and us' with the staff and shop floor workers - everyone mucked in together. The firm used to put on a bus for us on Friday lunchtime to take us to Accy. They don't make em like that any more.

Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

I work for Twin Valley Homes in Blackburn, enjoy my job and theirs recognition for a job well done and everyone at all levels is up for a laugh!

Re: Good  Firms or organisations to work for.
 

I'm self-employed too.

The best bit of working from home is you get cups of tea brought up to you at various points throughout the day, and if you have an evening appointment, you get cooked lunch made as well!

How efficient is that?!?!?!!!
