Had these guys doing some work around our area. I caught one of the workman with no reason to be on my drive, sitting against my car bonnet. Got no apology, just a dirty look as he carried on talking on his phone. He then decided as soon as my wife had driven away to come back onto my property put his rubbish in my bin. Not a great ambassador for the company.

As you have probably seen from other reviews this company clearly doesn’t care about how its company vans are driven or the safety of the general public on the roads.
E.g dangerous amounts of speed, cutting people off or lack of braking distance.

I also wasn’t suprised to see similar reviews about the state of this company after I myself have become victim to one of the drivers which at some point will be on the news for causing a crash with another member of the public.

Hopefully someday the higher ups will get a wake up call of how this problem is ruining their
company image.

What can I say about the pair in this vehicle 1st the driver cut me up by coming off A11 heading towards Fulbourne he came up slip way and never gave way and nearly hit my vehicle Then he sped away through a 30mph zones to Tesco in Fulbourne When I questioned him he replied half asleep what me Then the passenger started with his foul mouth saying he didn’t care about representing his company etc etc
A total disgrace and lacking so many manners

What a pair dangerous in 30mph limits and disgusting when spoken Past reviews dont
give this company justice worst if anything 12/07/24 7am
This driver needs taking out of a company vehicle today before he kills somebody And the fella who doesn’t care about the way he behaves wants sacking discussing

Had a moron driving so close to my car going onto the A45 eastbound at Northampton Bedford Road that had he been any closer he would have been sitting in my car. Tried to intimidate me to go faster - I was accelerating towards 70mph - then he indicated right to move into the right hand lane and nearly took another car out. He eventually got past me only to come off at the next exit. it was a 68 plate small Mercedes van, time 1512 hours on Saturday 6th July 2024. Caught on dashcam. If they work like they drive then they need to go back to school. I noticed another similar comment recently along the same lines. Obviously the company do not care about their public image.

I have seen other reviews about the drivers within this company. I drive circa 25,000 business miles each year and I have never seen something quite as idiotic than today on the 31st Jan 24 where one of the vans overtook 2 cars on Kimbolton Road almost crashing into oncoming traffic. Other drivers had to move out of the way to avoid an unnecessary collision and the van continued with reckless overtakes afterwards on A-roads. Around 16:30pm van entering towards St Neots.

Incompetent driver in Chafford Hundred has been blocking the beginning of our street for 2 weeks now stopping bin men being able to get through resulting in bins not being collected!!!

Teach your staff to be mindful of others and have some common sense!

Driving down the a41 this morning 7am, ECL van driving at high speed, I was at 60mp and he shot past me like I wasn't moving, watched him drive up to the back of another motorists, dangerously close and ride them until the vehicle moved out of his way. I know this company as I work in construction and have been on jobs with them, not a good ground works company, produce low quality work. Speed over quality. They mainly employ Eastern Europeans to which the majority do not speak English, the managers on site are abusive to the workers. I see there are several reviews all based around bad driving. Any worker that is willing to drive and act like this in a sign written van obviously dosent care about the company, people on the road, people in the vehicle with them or them selves.

Absolutely livid, a couple of "bright" ECL van drivers thought it'd be funny to undercut me on the road in Hinckley between the hours of 4:40 - 5:00pm on their way to the A5 TWICE without indicating. Then proceeded to swear at me out of their window when I honked at them for being in the wrong lane, proceeding to make me almost drive into them just to shave off some extra seconds? Despite the fact I ended up infront of them later on.

Bunch of immature children that don't deserve their driving license, if I was with my 10 year old daughter I'd be reporting them to the police for reckless and dangerous driving.

The company will probably be giving them a big thank you for losing customers by not being able to drive properly. Cause the definitely made me want to avoid this company like the plague!
