Anyone awaiting start date for Bradford

Post by designman »

Hi, Just logged onto the Royalmail website and my status is now showing "SECURITY CHECKS PASSED" so now all I'm waiting for is the start date, Has anyone had a start date for Bradford, West Yorkshire yet?

On my provisional offer letter it states "Start Date 28.11.11" but had no email or phone call as yet.
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same issue mate, and I suspect many many others are too. Frankly it's a disgrace.

This is also my exact situation, I am also supposed to start on the 28/11/11 at Bradford for the early shift, worked that shift last year.

Rung Angard and was told that they are trying to find a shift for me, what a disgrace they are.

To be fair to Angard - our permanent staff who will be sent over to Bradford for the night shift over the Christmas Pressure still don't know when they will be needed. It may be that the Angard are still waiting on details from Royal Mail - we certainly are and we work for them. :nervous :chuckle :chuckle
