I had a few assignments for grassroots but have never worked for any other site.
Could anyone tell me which of the other companys are best to work for.
Thanks for any help x

Just noticed that someone on alerts says that RE have fast pizza in London. Does this mean that a certain chain has moved from TNS to RE? Will TNS have many clients left soon?

a few london (may be others) pizza (fast ones) on RE - no fee !!! ok reimbursement.

NOW ALL GONE.......that was short lived. Its says its a pilot so maybe they are going to try and steal this client off TNS which i think usually do these jobs.

Any idea what the reimbursement was? The TNS reimbursement used to cover a 'snack' for two people, and you'd both leave still hungry...

Yes that was me, but by the time I went back to RE, the 3 jobs had gone. RE are really taking over the market and offering no fees ! I was offered the cookies by another company a few months back.

i'll pm you the reimbursement kman, let me know if this is what tns were offering as it will be interesting to know.
but it was alot of food to order - one starter, 2 mains, one dessert, not sure about drinks.
Looking at this I don't think the money will be enough unless you pick the cheaper items on the menu

I'm on the shortlist for the flights! But a bit confused by the email about dates, as it asks me to give 3 alternatives, but then only gives 2 to pick from. Unless I've read it wrong, hmm. Has anyone else had this email?

Keep reading the brief and visualise what you need to do. Without naming the end client, what's the visit to do? burger job, clothes retailer, etc?

Hey all, I have recently registered for a couple of companies, one being grassroots but the only assignments that seem to come from them is for the bank, does anyone know what other companies they do and also when doing the same group of banks should you make up a fake name and address?
The reason I am asking is because I did my second HBOS one today but obviously my details were still in the system from the last time I did one, surely they will pick up if you keep going and making appointments and cancelling them? Xx
