As posted elsewhere, they appear to have an inordinate number of vacancies advertised with DfE needing filling. I was told of losses running @ £70k a month?

You have nailed it there. 5 hours ago, Non-Believer said: As posted elsewhere, they appear to have an inordinate number of vacancies advertised with DfE needing filling. I was told of losses running @ £70k a month? Again you are right that in some respects, but dependant on who you hear it from. I’ve heard from one reliable source, it’s well over @70K. However I do believe the buildings have been configured (a lot of plug sockets and electrical workings) so a supermarket or superstore could take it over if it goes belly up. Its quite surprising really as Jackson’s/Motor Mall were touted and spun by IOMG as something wonderful, exciting and they were going to change peoples lives. Yes jobs were created by its construction. Depending on who you listen to, both Jackson’s/Motor Mall have a large staff turnover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the other way round. IoM was spun as something wonderful by IoMG and it was going to change Jackson's/Motor Mall's life.... It'll have done that all right...

Terrible research and believed all the shite told to them by the DfE without checking much I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Quite a few good mechanics left their previous employers thinking they were headed to the promised land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Maybe Notwell will take it over. He said it would do really well IIRC? Maybe move some of his 1000 table covers a day from the Colby Glen pub up there too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever tried to book in for a service? Not worth the hassle the strange up-sell and customer service process you have to go through. Anywhere else just goes yes we can service your car. Here’s a date. Drop your car in! Not those clowns you have to see at least two people and waste at least 45 mins talking about shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
