Company looks great on paper, however a different experience when you meet the management staff. Found them to be full of them selves and jumped up to be quite frank. Seems like they like to paint a lovely picture of turning your business around but the only motive is to line there own pockets to fund what looks like a lavish lifestyle, referring to the documentary on Panarama.

Rubbish experience. Felt uncomfortable and found them to be rude and harsh. Bad attitude never going to visit here again.
