Any advice appreciated

Cheers

Worked for Olive in the Sand for 18 months. Can't fault them. All the gear, great admin support back in UK, fantastic Management. Would recommend Olive over most major comapnies.

Not worked for them but I have been their client and I have no complainants. When it did all go wrong and 2 of our staff were killed, 3 injured and 1 Olive staff injured by an Ied the Olive guys carried out their drills to a very high standard and no one from our group could find fault with the Olive team.

I am currently with Olive - what is it exactly you want to know??...Im not in the sandpit with them but have spent a couple of tours with them in Iraq.

As has been said - good in country admin as well as great back up in London....Have always been treated very well, pay on time, decent kit, and decent rotation - nothing more to say.

nozzer will become famous soon enough
I worked for Olive for over 2 years in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Since then i have worked for a few other (Aegis etc)....

Always pay on time, the rotation when i was there was very decent and the blokes on the ground were god.

Not a bad word to say about them...
