Davidosh nothing to do with the company

[buywell3] 08/9/2017 11:51

This chart is now looking to retest the recent low

If this previous low does not hold

Then talk about 1 star or any star ratings of stores could become purely an exercise in expelling hot air

This chart of this company indicates trouble coming

Owletta....you seem to know a fair bit about the inner workings of Crawshaws including the comment about the manager at Wakefield being there over two years. How do you know that ? Did you work for Crawshaws and what is keeping you so interested ?

I popped into Leeds Market to get a bag repaired at Timpsons yesterday and they gave me a leaflet explaining their upside down management process which prompted a visit to the website and they certainly tick all the boxes for staff motivation.

You get your birthday automatically as holiday.

Company caravans as holiday accommodation



Whilst in the Market I visited our stall and everything was nicely presented and clean. They are due a hygiene inspection anytime now but I don't expect any problems here.

The EHO wouldn't entertain excuses so why should our shareholders & customers.

The previous management had a close working relationship with the Wakefield EHO and always maintained high standards. If you look in previous annual reports this relationship is highlighted, so what happened?

It doesn't matter if we kill someone in one of the stores because the rest have 5 stars unbelievable do you know just how bad it has to be to get one star in this industry because when you get food safety wrong one every front people die

"We also have a newly appointed manager in the shop who was a little nervous and intimidated by the EHO presence and did not answer all the questions with confidence or accuracy"

Another bought into the liesToptown 1star ratingWakefield 1 star ratingCastleford 1 star rating St Helens 2 star rating (Gabbotts)It's the worst star ratings record crawshaws have ever had, I take my hat off to him for that. Ps the manager at Wakefield has been manager in that store for over 2 years!!!!! More liesDYOR

I had a really considered reply from Noel. I am not going to paste it all here as it was a private email but he did state that the manager was new and inexperienced when it came to audits. The management and staff have been retrained and they are awaiting a re-inspection.

I will paste this:

"For your information on the wider group, our average score across the entire estate of 52 shops is 4.4-Star Rating (out of 5). This result has never been so high within Crawshaws"

He comes across as a man who is passionate about his company's success.

Hats off to him.

This is in actual fact a snap shot of the dilution process

[haroldthegreat] 31/8/2017 10:54

I am sure the companies have a SOP for everything. An inspector can arrive and there is a new member of staff who has not done something correctly , has not read the sop and gives incorrect answers to questions which would then result in a low score. If the council was really concerned they would close down the establishment immediately .it is up to the manager of the shop to train the staff correctly.

[niggle] 31/8/2017 10:38

This is the correct link - I have emailed Noel to ask him why he has let this happen,

[playful] 30/8/2017 14:29

First glimpse of the new store:

[playful] 27/8/2017 11:40

The Wakefield Food Hygiene Rating has now been published and confirms a score of 1 and that Wakefield council have little confidence in our management.



Why did they not appeal within the permitted 21-day period?

This could have been avoided and protected the brand in doing so.

They must be throwing all resource at the factory shops and our high street shops are clearly in distress as the 3 separate shops falling from high scores to just above zero confirms.

If someone were to bid on the failing stores I would hope Noel snaps their hand off. If we can’t be bothered to appeal and improve standards in doing so we don’t deserve the shops or their customers.

Well it's not the retail park it's the industrial estate here YO30 4XD.

Parking is fine assuming we are not going to be allocated fixed bays again but parking on the road is certainly an option.

Location returns acceptable crime stats with 43 incidents of shoplifting in 16/17


Gear4music are not too far away and no food competition whatsoever, it’s all car dealerships. It is certainly much better than Hunslet and the fact its York should guarantee it success!

Only caveat is that it’s well off the beaten path so marketing spend is essential here not just a free F.B campaign.

[castleford tiger] 24/8/2017 07:38

no parking issues at Clifton moor.
You guys are talking about my Homeland here and as Iam based as the name suggests in Castleford I will take a look at the Cas shop.
Always looked ok and often an EHO officer needs a good relationship with the manager.

Next factory shop has been announced as Clifton Moor in York, so we must assume it's the so we don't need to worry about parking.

[buywell3] 22/8/2017 19:42

OK but my call for CRAW is 15p before xmas 2017

Before getting too wound up about hepatitis e read it up on a medical website.for most people it is not a major problem .having got concerned reading about it over the weekend in the press have just looked at medical websites to get unemotional information.
I now understand why the authorities have not named the company involved .you could also pick it up from someone who has it from poor hygiene eg take always, restaurant,buffets where other diners can touch food etc.
If you like a drink your liver might be damaged and all types of hepatitis will be more dangerous if contracted.
have a look at /www.britishlivertrust. and NHS choices website for a more balanced view.

I questioned what Owletta suggested yesterday directly with Wakefield Council and this is the reply:

The businesses below have both been inspected recently and scored a 1.

Crawshaw Butchers - Castleford
Crawshaw Butchers - Wakefield

The websites will not update straight away as businesses that score 4 or below are given a 21 day period to appeal

Kind Regards

A Food Hygiene Rating of 1 means that major improvements are necessary.

This is unacceptable, especially when you consider the Castleford shop is the regional training centre.

Owletta certainly has his finger on the pulse!

Grimsby, Castleford and Wakefield all needing major improvements and the person ultimately responsible is the CEO!

There’s no hiding from the fact that shops falling from 5 > 1-star rating is a major disappointment and all in quick succession suggests to me something is seriously wrong and needs to be investigated.

Hopefully the Chairman will bring someone in to independently review the business and make recommendations.

Davidosh, into Sirius minerals SXX but haven't felt the need to post.The Dream, 200 shops.The Lie, everything about the 200 shops.

[davidosh] 21/8/2017 16:43

You are welcome to post anything that is genuine research. I just get a bit wary if posters limit themselves to one company only when posting on Advfn where it is so easy to create an online moniker...

What exactly was the dream and lie though ??
