TP is a heartland builder of 232 years but not because of its faith and abiding respect for its families but almight worship of the $$$
I worked for years at the head office in new duston as commercial pricing manager, a role that taxed me inconceivably to the tune of about 60-70 hours each week. It nearly killed me and assailed my health every which way. Just after the referendum, i built a world class software engine for competitively tightening and synchronising our marketplace pricingbetter than every competitor -and it workedbut it was too late sadly. The plumbing and heating division was irretrievably broken and TP's shortsighted patchwork first-aid attempts to stave off self-implosion failed catasstrophically. I expected redundancy and it did indeed come, but the delivery was so poorly executed and crass and just unprofessional, i ended up being cannibalised by a competitor and was able to field corporate enquiries about licencing my bespoke software. One window shut and another opened nice and wide, thanks TP!
