chris1983 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Cant believe how much money she has made from getting disabled & unemployed back into work. any anyone who has come across her company knows its a terrible place to go to. and the bad news is they have won the "Work Programme" in many locations so she is going to double her personal wealth. why dont the DWP just use the provision which is free to them - Remploy. Rather than using a private money making company like A4e, because dont forget its the tax payers money they are spending. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1554186/Businesswomen-taking-over-millionaires-club.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742Sheff Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I was talking to someone about this today. Not only do they have a renewed contract they seem to have new powers to force people in to work trials. Even if the trial is nothing to do with that persons particular skill-set. After all the complaints they received last time you would have thought they had more chance of plaiting urine than getting the new contract.

Binster Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Remember how the banks make billions trading risk as a commodity and selling loans to people that had no hope of affording them? Totally morally bankrupt profit seeking and self serving, without a single thought for society and taking our money to stop them from losing everything... Well, A4e is exactly the same, except the commodoties are vulnerable people needing real help and not a grinding, humiliating excuse for what pretends to be training and helping those it is contracted to support. The whole organisation is run like a used car sales pitch, together with bloodsucking sales people, vile heronie worship (as part of company policy) and a profit maximising targets-led culture. It is truly obscene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 What wonderful entrepeneurs our region has raised, Simon-Renshaw Smith and Emma Harrison, we should be so proud of their business models, success and multi-millionaire status, all out of providing a wonderful service for their clients. If only I could emulate their business models, were it not for one little thing standing in the way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are they now? Oh yes, don't forget Thornbridge. Apparently Emma visited it as a child and the whole experience gave her something to aspire to, so much so, that she wanted to enjoy it all for herself, family, and friends. Oh well Sheffield children, at least you can visit the Mayfield centre, oh, sorry, that's closing isn't it? Maybe Emma will have some postcards printed of Thornbridge for Sheffield children to look at - will that be inspirational enough? Or maybe the closest they'll get is a pint of Thornbridge Ale on their 18th birthday, if they can afford it, in their non-job. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope not. I had the luck to stay there 4 times when growing up and have brilliant memories i will cherish forever. I wouldn't dream of buying the place and stopping other children missing out on those opportunities. In fact if i had her money i would rather buy the place and let kids use it for a very small amount, if not for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they may still be able to stay in the 'dorms' bit, but don't quote me, on that but as far as I know the 'inspirational' bits are now off limits. So much for 'My House and Yours, my friend'. Remember this? I do. That inscription alone impressed me more than anything in the house, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
