They do publish magazines and they do run events, so they are a legitimate company. They cannot provide access to government and they feed you lies about so-called converstaions and meetings they have had with senior civil servants etc. This guy Snape expects you to believe that David Cameron would have had a meeting with them - its laughable. Their sales process is highly questionable and borders on being fraudulent - trust me, I speak from experience. They are trained to do it a certain way and if they don't they get fired. This guy Snape is only doing what he is told to. The owner Gordon Warrender rules by fear and is ruthless. His henchmen sales managers don't have a brain cell or decent bone between them and do exactly what Gordon wants at all times. I wouldn't blame Snape, I'd blame Warrender.

The site does look good but it is merley the lipstick on the pig. Most government departments cannot stand PSCA/Public Service and there are very very few companies who have ever benefited from advertising with them. If you look at their testimonials on their site you will see that only a tiny handful are from 'satisfied customers'.

Well done for seeing through them - hundreds of people don't and PSCA make a lot of money - but they have never made a single penny in an honest way.

after reading all these statements i have to come the conclusion that the negative posts are Ex employees who are keyboard warriors which left the company on bad terms and now this your way of getting back.. as the internet is a power tool... so stop your playground name calling.....

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the majority of posts here are not ex-employees. We're LEGITIMATE professionals who are disgusted by the absolutely disgraceful operation of your "company" and the dismal attempt at covering your tracks every time someone makes a criticism.

And as I mentioned before, if it WAS all ex-employees (which it isn't) then what does that say about your company? People who leave my company speak highly of it, with generally happy memories and there are usually tears and emotional goodbyes when the longer-term staff move on, because we know how to treat people. If all of your employees despise your management that much then perhaps you should learn from it.

And as I've mentioned before also, every shockingly poor attempt at throwing this forum off course with even more total tripe, simply serves to strengthen the google rankings even further (this board is now FIFTH when searching for "psca international").

You people infuriate me you really do, the arrogance is staggering. I have more respect for estate agents than I do for PSCA.

I am most definitely not a competitor of this lot but, like most others in this chain, a public sector manager who is getting extremely tired of their behaviour. How on earth this is legal is beyond me. Do not do anything other than terminate their calls

We purchased some advertising form publicservice.co.uk and then came across this site. Feeling concerned, we rang in and attempted to cancel our order. We were told we could not cancel.

I am now aware that it our right to cancel any order within seven working days, and that we do not need to give a reason for cancelling - despite what we were told. I strongly advise any company who wish to cancel to be aware that publicservice will deliberatley try and mislead you about the cancellation procedure. Please also be aware that this seven day period is a basic right you have under English law and not an internal policy of theirs which they can use arbitrarily.

Cheats, liars and self-appointed enforcers.

Got any testimonials from people who got business from your services?

What is your cancellation policy please - just for clarity?

And is it proper to put new events up, such as outsourcing, with only ONE confirmed speaker but a host of other names who are merely invited?

:)

These are collected mostly from people who have written free of charge for your book.

Have you got any from businesses who swear that your products help them grow their profile and open doors in the public sector?


I can answer this for you if you want.

And what is your cancellation procedure? Can you confirm that a client can cancel their order within seven days of signing the contract without penalty and without needing an excuse?

I can also answer that if you want....

Are these the people who keep calling me?

If they call themselves 'publicservice.co.uk' or 'public service', then yes. They might also use 'public service review'.

This despite being told by the DTI not to call themselves 'Public Service Communication Agency'.

If you want to get your own back someone on this site posted the mobile number of their Mnaging Director. It is 07730438511. His name is Gordon Warrender.

As a recruiter of sales people in manchester you will understand the annominity, i had this site brought to my attention by a job hunter that i was interviewing and after looking through it i thought it would be helpfull to point out to genuine visitors that whilst psca are far from sainthood the majority of the people on this site are ex employees who are now working at a "rival"  organisation called govtoday, having interviewed an ex govtoday employee for other jobs it would appear that this site has been used to esculate ongoing and old scores by their new employer, i have brought this to light as it cheapens the value of genuine complaints and effects the usefullness of sites like this.

Thank you for the feedback but I am satisfied that my own personal experience of dealing with PSCA has been so unnerving that I can vouch for their unethical and misleading modus operandi.

I am also aware of Govtoday and that they are equally reprehensible.

Sites like this are fantastic and ensure that people can make a more informed judgement before dealing with PSCA and as the saying goes 'there is no smoke without fire'.

There is not a chance that Recruiter does not work for PSCA. You "recruit sales professionals in Manchester" . Fair enough you probably do that for PSCA no!!!?? As if a completely unrelated sales professional would track this site down and then post positive remarks attempting to ameliorate peoples opinions of this disgusting, immoral company whilst at the same time attempting to put down your "rivals" GOVTODAY. As if they would have the inclination! It is pathetically seethrough it really is and a sign of the levels of desperation that PSCA's employees have now sunk to. This site obviously ruffles their feathers and hopefully is preventing genuine businesses from being conned by them.

Lisa i feel your response bears out exactley what i was talking about, anybody who works for either company immeadiatley attributes anything that is posted that does not agree with their personal thoughts to being from an employee of one of the companies, unlike you with your statement that i "attempt to ameliorate peoples opinions of this disgusting immoral company" i do not foister my OPINIONS on others i simply deal in facts, i certainly do not work for either organisation though i have met a few who have, and as for tracking down this site i did so because of the conversation with a job hunter and as im sure your aware any professional worth her salt looks into companies with in their sector, as part of my job is to ring companies like govtoday and psca with a view to finding sales vaccancies to place my clients  it stands to reason i want to make sure of their credibility, my point is simply that if companies are not reputable the genuine complaints are being weakend by the antics of some ex employees of BOTH companies, and as i stated earlier this is not about opinions its about facts, sites like this are really usefull if not abused by people with vested interests.

Recruiter if you have looked into the credentials of PSCA and have seen this website can you tell me if you have placed any of your candidates and if so did they report a happy thriving business focussed atmosphere? Or did they leave after 2 months because they just could not stand it anymore? I do not work for either companies and have no vested interest personally, other than that I do not like to see companies taken advantage of by such immoral, unscrupulous and arrogant conmen and think something should be done to stop it. I can tell you I also deal in facts and the opinions i have formed on PSCA are based on a wealth of first hand experience. Believe me their practices and overall attitude is truly shocking and it disgusts me that a company can be allowed to operate and take advantage of people (both employees and clients), especially in the current economic climate. I respect your comments if they truly are genuine and for the record I can imagine GOVTODAY are not much better if the posts on this board are to be believed and it is full of ex PSCA managers.

To Recruiter -

even if, as you say, lots of the stuff on this site is from exPSCA people then what does that tell you about the sort of people they hire? The people who left to form Govtoday had very safe jobs at PSCA and were doing a good job for PSCA.

None of what is on this site shows PSCA in a good light and that is why this site is so popular - PSCA have made lots of enemies because of how they have conducted their business over the years - both externally (with other businesses/public bodies) and internally (embittered  ex-staff who found their PSCA experience traumatic).

Surely if you are a professional and have concern for your candidates you could find another company to place them in. On top of that it is well known that PSCA's Manchester office is a graveyard for sales careers and that it is a failing office.

I started off in sales before i became a director of my own company. And the job is hard. Believe me. I had a great chat with the salesperson and he was respectful and professional and I was indeed pushed to make a decision. But is that really such a bad thing? After all the impulse to buy does peak whilst your pitching and if you dont close the sale at the right time then it will just go down and down. Thats why i will not let people go away and think about it. Because they are lying. They are just saying no politely. "yes i am very interested and sounds amazing...call me on friday"  [***]. Buyers are Liars. All your problems are with the salespeople not the company. They wouldnt be calling you if they were not good at what they do. Id happily employ a salesperson if they had PSCA on their CV because I know they would close deals quickly.

Can't stop laughing at that. All those quotes could come straight from Gordon himself. If you are going to make fake posts at least try not to use all the standard PSCA cliches.

You could not make it more obvious that you are a PSCA employee. Thanks for the laugh Gerrod - funniest thing you have ever said.
