Ok credit where credit is due when any company wins new contracts =D> , but are you really saying that the loss of 50% of the regular Social Work contract can be compensated by irregular work from 3 or 4 hotel contracts?? Just interested in the opinions on that one point :?

Well done sales and marketing team, doing a great job, hope you enjoy your bonus :D

Hssc: Yes to me it's worth it, the part we had was the scraps, we weren't willing to go over 20% discount, the work we have compliments itself :wink:

What a load of shi*e !! #-o #-o #-o

The Caley Hotel has always been a pig in a poke. #-o It's directly opposite the west end rank ffs. #-o The concierge, more often than not, pulls cars off the rank or sends the punters to the first cab. Yeah, you'll get the contract work alright but the PH will be called in for the cream. #-o #-o #-o #-o And on a busy weekend night it's a nightmare to service with the punters jumping in the first available cab. In fact, I would go so far as to say, it's one of the worst hotels to service in the City and more trouble than it is worth. #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o

You lot are delusional... #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o

Don't know Ritch, do you mean TRTD :?: Not sure, it could be any Trade Radical :lol: There's one on this thread the now :lol: :lol:

Yes great news getting the Waldorf, maybe we can have our own version of Monopoly, concentrating on the Hotels of course :lol: :lol: Assesing our work though, it's looking good in so many City Centre Zones, lots of areas around to Rank&Pick up :wink:

Heard a rumour of an offer of a takeover #-o No thanks we're doing just fine :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well done Desire! What a way to outdo yourself referencing the skull to back up your claim.

Say you're right and it is £1 kickback then on a £20 job the discount level is 5%
£10............................ 10%
£5.............................. 20%

That's still nowhere near the Central discounting policy of 30-40% oh wait I forgot the :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm presuming you don't agree with Centrals killing the trade policy either? Sorry can't resist :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Listen you clown, I was working with CRT when City Cabs dropped the Caley because it just wasn't worth it. #-o CRT "WON" the contract only to see its value killed off by staff discounts, kickbacks and the cream going out the door to PH.

Oh and if anyone landed City Cabs with the Caley, that would be Woodburn and Gibson because they've had the hotel in their pocket for years. #-o #-o #-o #-o

When was that 15-20 years ago?? thats how long you've been out the trade. Yet you're still here cutting a tragic figure that can't let go.

I've been out of the trade for maybe six years and you lot are still coming up with the same old sh*t*. #-o #-o #-o Get a grip ffs!!! Oh and I know all about the dirty little deals struck back when CRT took me and Taylor to court and who really is running City Cabs and it's not the committee. #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o

So please, spare me your bullshi*!! #-o #-o #-o

Oh and this "tragic figure" just likes to see you squirm. :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

City Cabs have been thrown a few bones because they've lost the social work contract and they have all their eggs in one basket out at the airport working for ECPH. #-o #-o #-o Oh really clever, all these little men trying to build empires on the backs of their shareholders while ignoring the biggest threat to their trade for years...deary me. #-o #-o #-o

#-o Now tell me, your AGM is when exactly? #-o #-o #-o #-o

I think the timing is a little too perfect. #-o Is it not? #-o #-o #-o #-o
