The Group

Working in the group

What will change and what will not for someone already working in a company that comes into the group, and how to apply.

For those working in a company that joins the group

Does not change with the sale

  • Your employer
  • Your contract
  • Where you work

Changes

  • Who owns the company's capital
  • The group’s support in purchasing, systems, insurance and training
  • Paths into other companies in the group, for anyone who wants them

Contracts, continuity and paths

In a purchase of the kind we will make, the employer goes on being the same company. What changes is who owns its capital. Contracts of employment will therefore stay as they are on the day of completion, with the same seniority, the same grade, the same pay and the same conditions, and there will be nothing new to sign and no period starting again.

We do not buy companies in order to cut teams. A company like this is worth what its technicians are worth, and technicians are what the whole market is short of. As more companies join the group, some things will start to be done in common, such as out-of-hours cover, how work is routed by area and part of the administrative work. That gets discussed with the people here before it changes. When the group takes over purchasing or insurance, it will be to lift that work off whoever today carries it on top of everything else.

As there comes to be more than one company in the group, paths will open that a single company cannot offer. Anyone who wants a certification useful to their work will get support with the training and time to do it. Anyone who wants to change region or type of work applies internally before the post is advertised outside the group.
