A warning to fellow skip companies

Dear The Skip,
Having just received the May edition I noticed your article relating to Countrywide Skips (The Skip, issue 34, page 5). As a supplier for Countrywide Skips we have found ourselves in a very similar situation as the other skip companies.
We have recently been approached by a company named The Global Skip Company Ltd (registration number 06552836) to open an account. Upon doing our credit check we noticed that it is the company secretary of Countrywide Skips setting up a new company. I am giving you this information to warn other skip companies to tread very carefully with them if at all they anticipate doing business… we for one certainly won’t be!!
Regards,
Carol Scammell,

THE SKIP SAYS: Thanks for bringing this to everyone’s attention, Carol. Obviously, there is nothing illegal about this kind of activity, but it’s always best to know as much as possible about who you’re getting involved with and some companies may be deterred by this connection.
