Scotmod Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 To be honest though when has any inspectorate sat in on a sales meeting? No one would let them, by no one I mean people of this creed. The SSAIB, if asked, will say the usual gumf about not condoning this behaviour blah blah blah. Remember chaps these are the people we quote against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember chaps these are the people we quote against. I was thinking more down the lines of: Now Landmark have been exposed for ripping people off, what will SSAIB do about their accreditation. The MD of Landmark knows this is going on he spoke to the actress on the salesmans phone. I for one would not want to be associated with businesses that work this way, and as a company with approval albeit a different approval I am.

Again the whole reason industry funded regulation is flawed from day one. They won't ge a fine, they won't be discredited. It'll be a slapped wrist don't do it again or we might consider fining you. Why would the SSAIB or NSI throw someone out when it means less money in the pot for them. When was the last time a firm had their accreditation removed?! The fact that the SSAIB haven't came out and said something after a firm they have stuck their name on has been discredited on national telly shows me they don't really care and once it's been forgotten about in a month life shall move on.

fozzies Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Spot on mr PJ It makes no difference which inspectorate you chose, this episode demeans the entire professional market, and to put pressure on the ssaib, via bbc, to remove the company from membership, even if not succesful, will force both inspectorates to examine the subject. The end reult can only be a move forward, assuming the bbc take it up. Fingers crossed huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubit Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Exactly mr happy, which is why it would be great if t'bbc forced them and would show them both for what they really are. Self appointed bodies with no reason or relevance to their 'claimed' purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 It would be fantastic if the Beeb did approach SSAIB, the is no reason why they should not. The only reason I think they hadnt was because they had not noticed they were SSAIB, or even knew who SSAIB are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 The only way we will see a change in the inspectorates is if we the industry do what we can when we see something thats not right. The more of us that mention the SSAIB to the beeb the more chance of them interviewing them and asking what they will do about Landmark. The link is below you can choose to ignore it or you can use it as an oppurtunity, but dont later moan about the inspectorate if you do nothing http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/gotastory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
