I can say they owe a lot of money to locksmiths across the U.K for warrant work that has been done on there behalf.

I know of one locksmith who is in the process of taking them to court for outstanding accounts that remain unpaid I will let the whole world know very soon who they work for and it may pay to tender for there contracts but for now I will let them stew.

Anyone from access 247 care to comment ???

This is my 1st post but would like to let you know that working for them is a walk in the park most of the time you will be sitting in the van as you are not needed but getting paid well that’s another story.

They will mess you around with all sorts of different reasons but in the end you will get paid but somewhere along the line they will miss a month also never pay whats invoiced always short with no reason or breakdown like they use to do.

In short they use newbie’s pay some miss some then go around again that’s how they get away with it time and time again.

There contracts are with Scottish power and opus energy via grovener legal services they also have a contract with SKS not the known one but a company that supplies crappy locks to gala bingo and tk max nationwide so you are always busy but getting paid well I have already said that bit.

It’s a pity as they were ok a year or so back but my guess is they got involved in some stupid marketing venture oh yes pick buster comes to mind another load of rubbish.

If you work for them good luck and if you are clever you will withdraw your services if not then more fool you as they will shaft you in the end.

As I said it’s my 1st post but I have been around and seen it all before.

You have worked for them as I read a post on here a couple of years ago when you were complaining of not getting paid they may have been working under a different name then but think back when you done warrant work as I know you have and then think of the lazy payers.

As for pick buster they are sole distributors for this over rated and over priced product its only spray grease after all.

Blimey, what great memory you have grandmother!! :lol:

Perhaps they were under a different name then as you say (Premier ????). I dont do warrant work now anyways!

And glad the hype/frenzy over pickbuster seems to have ended. And after all that not one customer has ever heard of it and approached me about having it applied to their locks.

Seems they are trying to recruit again - got a couple of calls from them today. One from a lady, then another from a bloke who obviously didnt know the lady had already called.

I said no
