This company cajoled me and other local Bournemouth businesses into signing a contract with them under false premises. Mr. Roy Nunn who acted for the company left soon when he found out about their practices. They said it was due to ill health however a conversation of one (also foreign-born) businessman with him confirmed it was not the case here. False efficiency claims and promises underlined every contract with them.

They do not answer email for weeks at a time and placed an advert on the website without my authorisation. I have not authorised it even once. This in itself constitutes breach of contract. I tried to call them between 27 June and end of September and only managed to get through in end of September. The website did not bring any business whatsoever (but the did have a clause in contract covering themselves) and the ways of making money by them came to light.

All the other business owners stated the same. I gave them notice by letter in November as they breached contract but they ignored the notice. I did not receive any reply or call back. However they did manage to just send an urgent notice threatening me into paying the rest of installments after almost half year of my notice (not acknowledged).

The business is deliberately managed in a way to maximise sales of ad spaces and minimise other efforts like professional advertising to large audiences. Its core activity is sales, sales, and again, sales, especially using elderly trustworthy English gentlemen and scamming membership fees out of legit businesses. It is not easy to see through their methods when you sign a contract with those crafty elderly salesmen.

I am a citizen of one of so called "post-communist" countries and even I know how to do honest and transparent business better than those ladies from Staff Discounts UK.

In my personal opinion, it is a classic ADVERTISING SCAM. BEWARE!

Same thing has happened to me. The company is a scam and no business comes through what so ever. Companies House have issued a compulsory strike off which I presume is for failing to provide accounts.

Same thing exactly up here on the Wirral NW.

Awful, scam of a company!
