Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity but cash is reality

Before the acquisition of Barloworld by Briggs this forum was full of posts by Barlow engineers moaning about their company.

Some things never seem to change !!

I see a regional sales director is the latest to leave and gone to the lift truck company that seems to be forging ahead in terms of growth. Whose next?

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.

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 ?
