setting the benchmark then

 

[VancouverLeedsLondonBoy]

Benchmark has been sold, We have been bought out by MAILLY, the guy that owns Little Chef and Fray Bento's Pies. From what I have been told, Bernie and Rob now own 15% each and the new owners 70%.

Rumoured to be about 3 million sale so now we have no debts and are making a profit as of 21 July.....ALLEGEDLY (This is what i was told when i went back to work yesterday)

Search companies house for Benchmark Scaffolding, all the info is there.

Lmfao.

Latest news: Billy Humphries has asked to work 20 hours a day/7 days a week, only because hes been promised to be paid in Meat n Gravy Puddings - instead of cash, lol.

Breaking news: Micky Willis has been given a Kermit the Frog mask to wear, but he turned it down, as he looks like a dead ringer for Kermit already, rofl.

(I should stop drinking on the way home from work, lol.)

[scaffy]

Wonder how in that situation "new co" would be able to maintain NASC membership - as ltd co applicants have to have 2 years trading history aint it ?

[scaffy]

Be interesting to see then as carillion and lend lease to my knowledge only use nasc

 

[scaffoldingsafetyservices]

My money is on that they do keep it. As you wouldnt want Lyndons having all (excellent payer's) carillions work , would ya? (that is NOT a dig at phil181 either).
I know alot who work there but it is correct it does state you must have been trading for 2 or 3 years so are they still trading under Benchmark Scaffolding Limited or BSL as I have been informed. BSL is a new company and rules are rules.
This could be intresting!
