Thanks Mick_90 for response. I had my interview 2 weeks after yours, received 'happy to tell you ...' email week later. How many started with you and have you heard anything when the next lot are likely to start??

I think between 12-15 started with me and got split up onto 3 different shifts. It goes in a ranking system of overall scores so everyone that gets brought in your name goes closer. I phoned up the week before i got the call and manpower said they would start taking on more over the next few weeks. If you said you dont need any notice at the interview they should call you soon

5 years is the absolute maximum you can be kept on a manpower contract most people i have spoken to get their contracts within a year or 2 on JLR STC after 12 months.

Well I work at soliHull via manpower from Feb 2015 and anyone who started at Janunary 15 was on the 5 year manpower . And I can tell u all me or any of the other guys ain't been offered a stc yet I have been told by my pam that if we do get a sec it will be when fa2 goto 3 shifts and that will be the first week in April. Then again I have been told that 1000 who r on stc will move upto full contract and 1000 manpower people who have 1 year or more will move upto a stc . But like any big place the truth will be when it happens. . Lots of rumous.

Working at JLR was my worst choice ever. You literally work to seconds. Can't just have a quick fag brake, if you do that the line stop. On nights you have 3 brakes. 10/15/10 minutes. Get to the smoking area one and a half minute. Smoke a fag quickly 3 min, go to the toilet 3 min and that was it. You can rush back to your place. On the "big" brake you can have two fags, and back in the same. The job what they giving you is not hard, physically not hard. You'll have about a 40-50 second workload and just repeat it all night/day long. Boring as hell. Steps are simple, but monotonous. If the line stops you get the broom and start sweeping up, if it's a big failure get the foam cleaners and clean whatever you can. Still no quick cigi brakes. !!!!!!!!. So if you have a decent job don't leave it just because of the money, or if you have a goal set up in your life that's different. But we are all different someone like to work as a brainless, without challenging things, someone not. It's up to you guys. But if you come and you suffer I did worn you!!! )) peace

Hi, Thanks for your opinion. I currently work for DHL driving the tugs onsite for JLR however I am still on agency and still a long way off a contract. I have recently been given a start date for Manpower and Im struggling to decide to stay or to go. Any insight would be great.

Thanks

as a ex tug driver, i would advise you to stay on the tugs mate, i started on jlr and it is !!!!, you are constantly stressing trying to catch up to the next car, they always stick the new blocks on the !!!! jobs.

driving the tugs was a doddle but then again they eint gonna pay 14 pound a hour for !!!! all

Thanks mate, how long have you been with JLR for now. And yeah the only thing JLR is appealing with is the money, I feel like DHL is better for everything else too.
