Blatchford Reviews

This former family business is now run by poor, weak-minded managers who rely heavily on threats and bullying to vainly attempt to maximise profits at all costs. Since being bought out by investors, the life and soul of Blatchford has been squeezed out of it - Managers don't care about employees, the products or the patients, only how to maximise profits. The best employees have either left or have been made redundant, leaving VERY few competent employees working there, who are all too scared of senior management to make a positive difference.

This used to be a great place to work, although a culture change was needed and some deadwood needed removing. However the senior management have gone about this all wrong - been pushed by the investors to strip and save money so they can sell on. The CEO was demoted but kept on - bad move as he’s recruited an inexperience team who’s knees would tremble at standing up to him, even if they knew his decisions were wrong. They did have a solid committed team before that but this was obviously a threat. Management are untrustworthy- they’ve treated staff with no consideration during the pandemic. Lied outwardly and made redundancies with a stealth like manner, simply to ensure they make maximum profit rather than standing by their remaining loyal staff. Bullying is one of the core values of this company, which is ignored and allowed by senior Hr. It’s sad to see its demise.
