Hi.......... i HAVE HEARD THE NEWS ALSO......... MY NAME IS Jacky..... and i am the director of Silver Trowel Ltd in Crondall. (Plastering Training Centre ) I would like to make it clear that We are in no way connected to the Silver Trowel of Australia which had training links with Diamond training..... We have already today recieved 2 telephone calls from unhappy Diamond training customers, thinking that we were the other silver trowel..... We also this week have one of our plastering customers who in August finished a NVQ tiling course with Diamond.......who have not returned her calls in relation to her in-complete portfolio........ so will she be out of pocket also??

Hi Jacky,

Welcome to the forum.

The main advice would be for them to wait for the receivers letter and take it from there. We're not sure who has been appointed yet so nobody has contact details at the moment.

 

[silver1]

Hello Dan.........

and thank you..........

it would appear that there will be quite a few requests to the official receiver!!

 

[Dan]

Yeah we know of a few ourselves. It's a real shame whenever this happens.

For the sake of not confusing your customers with silver trowel trade training's, would you like some contact details for the owner of that organisation?

 

[silver1]

Dan........ That would be great, if you dont mind... thanks

 

[Dan]

PM sent.

 

[silver1]

Dan......... Many thanks........ we shall also give them a call ourselves......

We dont want to get caught in any of the "fall out".......

business for us has been going well....... with new courses planned for next year...

 

[Dan]

Steady on the plugs Jacky, we have paying sponsors that advertise with us therefore other firms are not really meant to use the forum.

I wish you all the best.

 

[silver1]

opps sorry......... new here......... just wanted to let people know.........

many thanks for your help..... thats a good way to gain new custom : )),,,,,,,,, ( Being helpfull )

Hi all
Darren here from NETT, I would just like to add that we are still a very strong company and are still busy and have dates in the diary, courses running every week up to may 2011 at the moment. In these tough times its only the strongest companies survive and we have built up a fantastic reputation throughout the last 6 years of trading which keeps the custom comming our way from all corners of the UK, all our plastering, tiling and plumbing courses are going very well and i would like to thank the hundreds and hundreds of forum members that have been on our course over the years and for their continued support which shows in the course feedback section. I moved away from the tiling training earlier in the year to set up a new venture, now that is up and running, im back doing what i do best and love, the tiling training at NETT, thanks to Mick who has kept the standard of training up to my expectations while ive been away. Anyone interested in quality tiling fast track training give us a call on 0191 4274529 and ask for Tracey, we only take a deposit of £100 even for a 6 week multi skilled course, so your money and course is safe with us

Thanks
Darren
NE Tiling Training

Cheers Darren

Wish I had found this thread sooner. I've just got back from a 4 hour round trip down to Diamond to be sat outside like a idiot with another guy for about an hour and a half! Alarm bells should have rang with me a couple of weeks ago when they cancelled a previous weekend due to personal reasons.

I can't believe they haven't the decency to call people to tell them not to bother making the trip or at least have something up on the front door explaining the situation. A message on their answer machine or website would also be nice and not too much to ask for!

Luckily the course was paid on my credit card so I will be straight onto them first thing Monday. What a complete waste of time.

Now all I need to do is find a suitable replacement training centre. Nearest one is Able Skills....

Good luck with your search, Charlie.

Well i am that guy who was waiting too, it was suppose to be my first day of training, i have paid £600 but it was with my debit card, any advice would be much appriciated. I was there 2 weeks before for 1 day and they took my money after that, they must have known they were in trouble then, as far as i'm concerned they have robbed me and i would like to get hold of this Dan or anyone else involed in the company, thier just a bunch of thieves.

Have you heard off the official receivers or anything?

No i have not.

 

[Dan]

Might be worth giving companies house a call tomorrow perhaps. See if they have details of anything yet.

 

[robbo18]

This is what i found on Companies house website,

WebCHeck - Select and Access Company Information

looks like they knew they were in trouble, taxes were overdue.
