Makes you wonder whether there were significant and positive change's proposed by her which met resistance through no internal desire to change or actually whether she wasn't right for Briggs and was (politely) asked to jog on.

Who has gone from the board then? Hopefully new broom(s) will do some sweeping.

Briggs will take anybody on, no skills required. Poor reputation with skilled engineers in the industry. Anyone worth there salt moves on quickly. As for customers, they are Lucky to have any the way they treat them.

If things are so bad at Briggs I have two questions. 1 why don't people leave. 2 How do they still keep in business

Is there any truth in the rumour that Briggs can't get any engineers in Northern Ireland to work for them, because the package is poor ?

Looks like the new board have come and gone just as quick again too, what do they know we don't? I'm off to google why Cannock is no longer the centre of the universe.....

it seems that Briggs in the UK are Dysfunctional. The only way you get better is by all working as one. Office, Service and sales.

Office staff think they are better than the engineers, poor management from the top down. Sales not selling but having big days out while engineers are flogged for every bit of revenue.

Looking in from outside they seem to be short staffed in most department's.

In my position as an end user I find account managers and regional managers harder to contact than Aliens

Generally not too badly as long as you tow the line but think engineers do have more responsibilities than with other companies. Also depends on the type of service manager you have either a company man or a level headed ex engineer who understands and supports.
