No probs mate!

I never wore a waist coat but some people did so if you have one stick it on, don't worry about over dressing as this is your only chance of a 1st impression.

Mine was in October last year and yep was successful starting shortly

You staying in a best western in Stafford too?

Yeah haha, I haven't had contact with my manager but spoke to someone from the training team regarding travel he sent the tickets out via post then.
I did et an email with my manager name and number on it though!

Whilst fully appreciating and accepting the content of your posting, I have on one occasion encountered a Kelly employee actually driving a BT Openreach van, totally on his own.

He told me he had been asked by BT-OR to do certain tasks, which Kelly don't normally carry out; resulting in his being given the BT-OR van, which had the required equipment on board.

Though I've never come across this in my many years I'm sure it would be possible for BT Fleet to loan a van to Kelly's for an agreed period of time. As I say though I've only ever seen BT employees in a BT owned van!

To enlarge on your comment on "dropping off children".

As well as BT's general rules, I suspect that the corporate vehicle insurance does not cover such as aspects, so it would be Null and Void if the van is used that way.

Leading to all sorts of complications etc.

Indeed, can confirm I was always told this is the main reason they're so strict on this. The insurance only covers them for BT employees to drive and be passengers in the van.

Not sure what to make of it, getting worried I may fall at this hurdle! Anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance for your replies guys.

Not sure really mate, sounds like they are just waiting on jobs in your area to become available, I wouldn't get too down hearted just yet, read through this forum and you'll see that sometimes things can be drawn out due to the sheer number of applicants. Just keep the head up ang hopefully you'll get the call sooner rather than later.

Is anyone on here going to be based in the Scottish Borders?I'm going to be based at Kelso (1/2 hour drive from my home).

How far are others having to drive every day to their exchange?

Hoping will get my van home every night
