denlin Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hi I was receptionist at Knutton Road and when it was near the Ritz on Southey Hill. Pearl is a good friend and I still keep in touch. Gary Brothers set me on. Do you remember the white rat that Chris Kirby found in a garden and we called him Wordsworth because he was found on Wordsworth Avenue and we got a large tank to keep him in at work but when Gary came back off holiday he made us get rid of him so Ryan Fisher took him home. There were some great people at Parsons Cross site. Pearl, Brian, Doug Dearden, Graham Bell, Simmo who I see occasionally in Morrisons, Skippy (Dave), Mick Norton, Lutz (Dave Luttrell), Dave Bryan. Extaxman Are you Terry Griffiths or Graeme Hall? Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The people who worked at rebuild were not cowboys, there were two firms carrying out repairs- rebuild and frank haslam milan. I worked on reception and we had hardly any complaints. Gail who was tenants liaison officer and Brian who did the job before her were great people and very conscientious and thorough. If you had any complaints she would have sorted them out for you. If you had ever been made redundant through no fault of your own you would think twice about posting a reply like that:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest makapaka Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I worked there when they were based at the Manor Development Centre at Alison Crescent. At the time work was just work but since I've worked for other companies I realised how much I liked it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I was with rebuild for 3 years and they had to answer to Sheffield City council clerks of works and any complaints would have been dealt with by their Chief clerk of works and we would have incurred penalties. Did you report all these faults at the time before your house was passed by Sheffield City Council? Found out since from reliable source that it was Connaught that did the first phase, so if I got a bit shirty Madowl, I apologise. I loved working at rebuild and made some good friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this happend, the best contractors have the odd house that goes wrong - it only takes one workmen or a subbie to drop a clanger and it happens. Rebuild weren't the best but by no means the worst out there. Who else do you remember from your time at Rebuild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - nothing has come close to working at Rebuld - most people were friendly and I did actually like my job! I only worked at the Woodbourn Road office and now and then covered at Southey for Linda - good days, good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Graham Watson the other day - I don't know if you remember him, he was the guy that set me on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
