You need to join us mate, at least they give us vehicles, running with the convoys? I knew the cuts in the Defence Budgets were bad, but I did not know how bad!!

Hmmm, a rational being? let me just ponder that for a moment, he actuallys plays the last post on a bed end, he attempted the same feat on the handle bars of the gorgeous Welshmans bike.....rational?....Maybe not!!Mind you he had consumed several cans of 'Red' before this, so maybe that had an effect. Anyway Des, how do you know what he is chomping at? A little inside information perhaps?

my other half spent over 1000 gbp going/getting to interview with hart in london only to be severely dissapointed...with both the interview, and then the follow up once he got home, even though he was initially offered the job, once home,follow up emails/fone calls regarding the job etc were never answered from HART

sorry....

following from above:

even though my other half had travelled from France 2 uk in the one day and has over 26 years experience....5 years in security within hostile countries, including iraq/afghan.

Hart are now offering and setting the wages for security operatives in the hostile field by winning contracts due to there low bids and low wages and im afraid the guys now going out to hostile are basically working and putting there lifes on the line for maybe.1/3 to 1/2 of what they were once getting.

Im just wondering if its al worth it?

How does everyone think Hart landed the gig from AGI in the first place? I ran convoys with Aegis, and we had good kit and REVA's, I've never met anyone with a good thing to say about Hart , their reputaion took a pumelling after their losses around Hit , if you're willing to work for such a company and for such a pitiful sum, then you're going to be responsible for the rest of the industry following suit....look at CRG, slashed their wages, and guys walked, but green young guns came in, and CRG don't seem to have suffered, if wages keep dropping to make profits, then soon you'll be risking more than stacking shelves in Tescos at night time!!

EODT just ****ed over a lot of expats and replaced them with SA's and Bosnians to "cut corners for the sake of profit"

You're right there Argyll, profit is the overall consideration with companies, it is a buisness though but to lower the wages as mush as some of them have is riduculous.

Taking more and more money from the lads on the ground, problem is,,,,,,there will always be somebody to fill the slots!
