This has to be a wind-up, surely...

Not sure how this one crept through my spam filter (probably didn't come from the usual MSB mailbox). They want me to vote for them - the tossers who rang me up once to get a reference for a fellow contractor, and told me he'd been sacked from a previous client for gross misconduct, and therefore I couldn't trust the present agency to reference check and by the way would we like to transfer our contractor business to MSB? Not a f**king chance, says I. How did I know they were lying through their teeth? I had also been at the client who they claimed had fired him. It went awfully quiet when I told the pimp this. Must've been a different contractor with a similar name, says the greasy fecker, and hangs up. Bastards. Wonder which other showers of tulipe are on the shortlist.

MSB International is pleased to announce that we have been short listed for 3 Computing Awards for Excellence 2006.

Yes it is, but the important thing to remember is that clients read that rag (it's sent to them free) and they believe some of the bollux in it. If they see cowboys like MSB & Hoaxley shortlisted for these awards, they're inclined to believe they are reputable organisations. Which spells very bad news for contractors, IMHO.

Whether you need a bricklayer for a day or a complete multi-skilled team for a lengthy project we can supply the right men at the right time. We can either provide you with temporary workers from our existing UK based teams or source directly from Europe.
