The Derby Office is near Nuffield Gym & Town Centre

absolutely the worst company i have worked for in 31 years of employment - hired on mis truths, no training offered, bullied by senior management - no processes in place constant fire fighting / a constant stream of staff leaving dueto appalling man management / expectations to work long hours and weekends / The MD is keen on off the cuff management / all staff are treated poorly / i went off sick to look for another job and had my contract terminated / a joke through and through im looking forward to the iminent demise of this shabby Company
