Add Trent, Cranfield to the list of owners who did a runner causing a number of customers to loose money.
Was there a Secoats at Lydd that folded as well?
A few of their customers completed at BAe, PIK at ‘cost price’.
A very small crumb of comfort for future trainees ~ your superior negotiating skills will always secure an improved deal. Never take the first offer. Always be prepared to walk away.
Retired / ex BALPA reps would be well suited to this rôle.
Take a leaf out of my brother’s book. He always buys his fairly new (second hand) car on Christmas Eve afternoon, or New Year’s Eve. As he says NO to their final offer on the deal, having haggled for a good 20 minutes, he walks to the showroom door, only to be called back......need I say more.....
