i am sure that not all the people on this forum will agree with the comments made above about armour group. An exterior can seem to look good but get inside and ask some of the guys that worked for armour at the start and they will tell you?

A friend of mine is in a court action at the moment and i will ask him to comment on the workings that he has had with armour, he is ex sf and will never work again due to the injuries he sustained.

i just wanted to say I have been with them for 4 and half years in the pit and like every company out there they have made there share of fuck ups! Personally for me they have have been a good company to work for.

I worked with AG for almost 2 years and I can state that they were for the most part honerable and treated the guys a lot better than many others i have worked for.
As for witholding of information, I cant comment on the Police Contract but I can guarantee that on the convoys contracts any info passed by LN workers was passed on to any interested party including the ROC and LMCC. What was done with it there was often a mystery.
AG provided good quality welfare systems via London and leave/rotations were generally spot on or as near to as humanly possible.
Yes granted some fuck ups were made but normally by individuals as opposed to company incompetance, I would work for them again in a heartbeat if I decided to go that direction again.
I am curious as to whether Mr Williamson was sacked and maybe if the g*censored**censored**censored**censored*s have soured on that one .... otherwise why wait til now to report that info wasnt passed to military OPs .... surely that is down to his discretion as opposed the company line???
Unfortunately it is all too easy for some muppet to make an allegation some time down the line and then claim it was company policy.... If it was ... news to me .... more likely it was some little general on the contract making his own policy and I am sure unknown to the company.

I for one dnot not have a bad word about ArmoGroup the 2 years i had wih them was the most enjoyable and met some couragous guys and lost some very close friends and feel the care and thoughtfullness of the company is second to none.

and being as this country is owned by the US the argument is so bone to bring up in the first place!

I think its worse to be working the Circuit here in the UK not licenced and enployers knowingly employing!!!!!is that not a criminal offence or is it ok now?

anyway why drip, i am just replying to say go armor ra ra ra !! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
