Post by Mrwhippy »

If you have a Wilkinson Store in your town more than likely they have agreed to franchise your office .

Kathleen1, its a case of "loose lips sinks ships" at a meeting a while back.

I can now only assume this is to be discussed in the revision talks around September time, in relation to the Crown Network Guarantee.

Offices are to be shared out to WHSmith and Wilkinson.

There's no hard evidence, no recorded telephone calls, no stray emails !!!!!!

Image This lot - cant see it really they don't seem that complimentary as an ethos, at least WHSmiths have a tenuous connection of being a stationary provider. Wilkinsons seem to be a "Home Improvement" type business.

Mind you their corporate speak is similar from what you POL members report.

When paying for some plants today at wilko's the checkout girl asked if I would like to top up my mobile.
Looks like the staff are already trained to work on the counter, I'll see next time if they offer life insurance !!
