Anyone worked direct for Baxi group before?

[solutions]

I have a friend who has just been to an interview and has been deliberating leaving working for himself to work for Baxi group. Assuming he is a successful candidate, are there any pitfalls he should be aware of or any first hand experiences from other employees out there on the forum good or bad worth mentioning?

There's a chap on here called poxi who works for heat team. It may be worth a pm to him to see what it's like

theres a bloke at my golf club who works for them too, I don't know him really well but I've spoken to him about working there. He seems to think its ok, no pressure to complete a certain number of jobs by the sounds of it.

He did seem to think travelling 200+ miles in a day was the norm tho! which put me off speaking to him further

Thanks villa tom. Yeah 200 miles is too far if a regular requirement.

It pays the most of all the manufactures. Van gets re stocked over night and heat team is currently undergoing a revamp and will all be known as baxi.

Of all the makers I'd say it was the one to go for

Must be a great job, there's a van in Wetherby, a few miles from where I live. It's next to a paper shop, so I see it quite a lot.

Seriously, I've never seen it move!

He's too busy filling in reports he's got "system dirty" on cut and paste. Love Baxi but heat team try a few times some nonsense .

I tried them out as a subbie couple of years ago.
They seemed a good company but the PDA was carp and they couldn't give me enough work to make even a modest living.

Are the vans full of GA gas valves?

ferrolli offered me the option to sub for them, training for a week and a van full of kit but the pay was around £45 a call whether or not you had a call back and limited mileage pay so I couldnt see it being worthwhile. the only upside was a van full of bits so you couldnt get it wrong if you swap out the lot

One thing with this position is a hell of a lot of breakdowns and no shortage of work. Toolkit needed 4lb hammer

Heateam engineer here, I'm small works so as well as service and repair I also do cylinder swaps, boiler swaps, pipework alterations etc so my outlook may differ.

Probably best to PM me
