Is this company legit? My fiance's been offered an interview for a job here in sales/delivery/ customer service and he's a driver?
Anyone else work there/ been too an interview there?
They don't have a website, which is very strange, and don't give too much information about what the job is.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have seen this in my local paper, I looked at this job in the past, but never attended an interview as I luckily got hired from a previous interview, but unfortunately im out of work, I am to a little suspicious as I am 18 and I know most driving jobs won't recruit anyone under 21 but they said this was no problem, I have nothing to lose and therefore will be attending an interview this Friday at 2pm, I'll let you know how it goes and let you k ow if it is genuine0

We think its selling Kirby Cleaners, (after seaching for hours we fnally found a bit of info on them.) Needless to say he wont be going for the second interview.

hi my partner went to work for these and i must say DO NOT WORK FOR THESE. The job advertisement and everything they tell you in your two interviews and then first two weeks of work are complete lies. this job is mainly cold calling as you have to get 125 leads a week and for this they promise you that they will give you 60 demonstration a month which you have to do to get your £1000 a month off of them but even when you get your leads if your lucky you get 5 demonstrations a week which i'm sure you can all do the maths and realise your 40 short so guess what no money at the end of the month unless you can get a sale. This is where it gets really annoying coz guess what they lie to the customer aswell, when your cold calling you tell them your a new carpet cleaning company which kirby is not and your handing out tickets for a prize draw and would they like to enter it. then the call centre phones every lead you take and tells them that their a lucky winner who has won a free carpet shampoo. so when you turn up if the customers even in you get out your machine and if the customer doesn't say hang on your from kirby you just wanna sell your hoover no thanks and kicks you out. you spend 1.5hrs doing a demonstration of the kirby then you have to clean a carpet then you ask if they want to buy one which 99% of people say no thanks i haven't got £2395 for a hoover so you waste all your time and if your lucky and manage to sell 1 a month like my partner did you make a lovely £300 at the end of the month but seen as though you have to pay for your own petrol to drive to the office everyday then all over everywhere that they send you. and be constantly phoning them to see what you have to do, you've easily already spent that money and have nothing to pay your bills with at the end of the month.0

Hi there,
I worked for them for 3 months. They completely exploit people. The offer you a good commission rat and promise you £1000 a month but i never saw anyone get it. All of us where skint and there were people there who were so in debt they couldn't leave. I ended bankrupt and put my family in the position to bail me out. They had me working from 8 in the morning to 11pm 7 days a week. i spent thousands on petrol driving over 300 miles per day. Steer very well clear of them nobody succeeds. They lie to everyone and ruin people lives!0 -
Hi All, Well I'm glad i found your comments tonight !
HT Solutions call me today (26/9/2012) asking me to attend an interview in Nottingham which is a 90mileround trip for me which Ican't really afford right now as I’m unemployed.
I did ask them what actually was the Driver/Delivery/Sales job that Iapplied for, to which they replied “to much to go in to over the phone"Bells started to ring for me and the only sent me a txt message with time andlocation of interview.
Having read these comments I will Not be attending the interview SO BIGTHANKS to you
all :T

I have been offered an interview for this Thursday after answering an ad in my local paper for Driver/Sales/Trainee Management earn up t £1000 £18000 I called them and as others have said they were pretty guarded on the phone saying I would learn more at interview, like others alarm bells rang loudly, after reading previous posts I decided to ring them and I asked outright are you selling Kirby Cleaners to be fair the reply straight away was Yes at that point I said I would not be attending the Interview the lady didn't seem surprised! I am thankful that I found this forum as it made me think and look into it more and it has also saved me the expense of travelling to Nottingham. I have been in sales for many years and from what others say this company appear to be somewhat unethical in their sales techniques, why do organisations have to resort to underhand selling methods which only alienate their own employees and their customers in the long run. Thank you all for saving me!!0
