First Call Taking Over Angard

Post by Borusa1976 »

One major rumour that I keep hearing is that First Call agency is taking over Angard. Is any of this true or just a lot of rubbish? I see that both Angard and First Call keep on putting ads for different mail centres....

This is just a rumor.
Angard (the Royal Mail Agency) usually subcontracts First Call Temps around busy times of the year to keep up with the demand.

One thing you have to keep in mind. If you take the First Call job you will never get the Angard 12 week seniority. Their promise of £10 after 12 weeks is a bait, because you will never reach 12 weeks with First Call.
