Looking at his profile he doesn't seem to have done anything for the last 5 years that isn't a pack of lies. If he really had had 30 companies seeking help you would have thought some of them would have remained as clients.

I want to employ a salesman at the moment and that is currently my biggest concern - the ones who are looking at all crap. And I know a lot will be unemployed because they are crap but I also know I don't know enough about sales to be sure I can identify the difference between a good salesman and a crap one with a good spiel .

Just point out the large fine Royal Mail got for failing to hit their 1st class post minimum targets and remind them that Covid won't be an excuse next time.

I currently still have a shed load of credit cards with zero balances on them which I could probably spend £80k on if I was heading towards bankruptcy..

Pass but I don't think they are students - not many eastern Europeans came here to study at Uni....

The recession of 2007/8 never really ended - while most countries let companies go to the wall we let the dead wood survive and due to their survival killed (at birth) a lot of potential (more competitive) competitors.

Knowing the typical staff mix 1,000?

It seems layers have found their new source of claims https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/06/13/legal-firms-target-car-dealers-ppi-style-mis-selling-leases/

My friends aren't Brits, most are Turks.

Speaking to friends in Turkey I suspect if you wait a while it will be £100k unless sterling truely tanks.
