Where to begin with this lot at this agency. I had worked for Daniel Owen agency for over 10 years, even prior to COVID and the lockdowns. I also worked through both lockdowns during the hight of the pandemic.Not once have I ever been given a pay rise, employee of the month or year. Never did I receive any clothing with Daniel Owens logo on or even a cup for that matter (not that I care about any of these things) I've been to multiple sites of the years. The training academy in Bearwood wokingham where me myself was sent there. The job was 8 months behind and they site managers that were there were a bunch of clueless imbeciles who only cared about grabbing money and playing golf among other things. Two weeks after me being there the job was on track and beginning to look like it being able to finally be handed over..The managers there was telling the investors the job was finished dispite not even having the floor layed, aluminum track and glass put in and anything that comes after e.i the suspended ceiling.A other job working for R2 development. The client they worked for weren't the issue but R2 themselves.All they cared about was getting more money so they can order things for themselves and steal it from site when everyone else was gone due to zero site security.The site itself was over £500m and was due to be condemned. I joined in February and worked almost everyday as labour because Daniel Owen and R2 were so cheap they couldn't afford to even pay me handyman rates dispute the job having almost no budget. Over the months I did everything there..liaised with all contractors from chippies to plumbers to the forklift driver to the clients themselves working tirelessly to get the job up to scratch which I did.I stayed on site in my van overnight to make sure nothing more was getting stolen which it didn't so I was acting as security as well. Again Daniel Owen don't care and wouldn't hesitate to keep you at bare minimum.These are just two simple examples over the course of a 10+ year span working for these guys.Carl who I would be dealing with is the worst of them all. He must have a problem because he's constantly got the sniffles and tries to to act stupid just to get you to site, for example I was told I was going to a Francis construction site in bracknell (the old BMW warehouse) to help with a delivery but when I arrived it was basically taking care of the entire site. I don't care what work it is but why lie just to get me there.Agencies will always be shady in my opinion but this has to be one of the worst in Britain strictly because of lies and keeping all employees in the dark about payments. I was on a site moving plasterboard with another follow Daniel Owen labour and he was on way less than me doing the exact same job. I could go on all day about these bunch of clueless children acting as if they are a legitimate agency.Look elsewhere if you was an agency that actually take into account your needs and situation and I would only ever recommend this agency for teenagers just leaving school trying to get a small bit of experience for a college course or something but even that's a push. Over 10 years and multiple different jobs completed and when I asked for a pay rise of no more than £1.50. Ryan told me he will push for it on the next job... We all know that's a no and when I said no he simply told me. "Good luck finding another job". Overall these bunch of children have nothing to offer you and treat everybody like they know more than you and act stupid when you question simple things.Again I could go on for days but, just Avoid this shady bunch of clowns.
