Adt

[a1steve]

Does anyone know if adt are not doing very well I have been told they have lost a lot off contracts this year. I have got a friend who is thinking off going to work for them but last year they got shut off a lot of engineers so I said I would see iff I can find out any info for him

[MrHappy]

Adt is all over the high street, the high street has had some tough times

I doubt a eng job at adt is any less secure than an eng job at happy towers

[james.wilson]

id agree, if adt want to shed staff for any reason it will be the dross. if your mate is good (and i mean good in others mind not just his own) then they will keep him.

They seem to be pushing the domestics at the minuite .

Mist admit the home connect wireless kit does sound like a good idea ( until you work out the yearly costing )

Chubb are losing lots of contracts tho

[james.wilson]

chubb are doing better on retention than adt. I also like the idea (product wise) of the domestic adt offering (le sucre) but it doesnt comply to even g1. i reakon even a yale system wouldnt be far of g1

i reakon even a yale system wouldnt be far of g1

and i suspect 90% of the target market don't give a flying ****. they're welcome to them, leaves the better domestics for the local firms to pick up.

[james.wilson]

long term i dont agree. but end users know and respect a brand like adt, grading and standards mean nothing to those outside

I have found out they have lost the next contract, bright house, HMV and some pub in last 6 months, Someone said they are doing so bad the are going to move everything over to the tyco name

[james.wilson]

tyco would offload them in bits before then imo

I have found out they have lost the next contract, bright house, HMV and some pub in last 6 months,

you assume they where worth retaining ?
