Man Commercial Protection

If your ever unfortunate enough to work for this company just like my cousin, make sure you check your pension and login regular. I worked for MAN around five years and I also discovered they was withholding deductions taken from my wages.

They never paid them over to the scheme providers, on the odd time the did it was never as much they took off me. In many cases MAN either failed to pay them in full, or did not pay them at all.

I have since over heard colleagues complaining that they are also short in their pension pot, so this is still going on after it was reported twice by the Manager of the government scheme.

One poor bloke worked for MAN over two years and they never paid his pension deductions across for the whole duration of his employment two solid years between 2017-19 surname Hussain.

Another woman was owed $500 then I found out three others reported them to the pension regulators. What also makes me suspicious about this company is how it deals with grievances, because the bosses wife is in charge of Human Resources.

She came across as the wannabe husbands gangster materialistic type who likes 4 or 5 exotic holidays a year and never at her desk leaving the automated reply in to emails and enquiries.

I recommend to be very wary doing business with them because of the shady behind the scenes behavior. The letters below from 2016-17 confirm my review and prove I worked for them just in case they say thus person has never worked for us.

I have nothing but lovely comments for this company, I can honestly say I enjoy coming to work, I love my job!
The company continues to grow and provides a 5-star service, I've been made to feel welcome from my very first day and all your hard work never goes unmissed, it's clear they value staff members as well as clients and suppliers providing 100% customer service I cannot wait to see what the future brings and look forward to many years with the company.

If your working for this crowd of jokers or using them to provide your security services then more fool you. They are a very dishonest bunch at head office and seem to have their fingers in all sorts of pies. Messing around with tax codes, messing with employees hard earned cash by taking unlawful deductions for courses, and charging for uniforms without telling staff. I am not surprised so many staff now reporting them and leaving their rubbish low-paid jobs. They would rather pay extra to employ strangers from an Agency firm to cover shifts instead of looking after their own people.

MAN Commercial Protection Limited are just a bunch of aggressive unprofessional thugs in uniform who like to bully old ladies. The worst crowd control management I have ever seen in my whole 40 years working in Security. I felt really sorry for this old lady who was assaulted pushed around and frightened shouting (help me, help me) MAN are always falsely bragging how good they are, so I thought everyone should see the other side to them as this video clearly shows some of their staff are just untrained goons acting in a criminal manner. Even YouTube have said be warned some viewers may find this inappropriate. If your foolishly thinking about hiring this dodgy business to look after your security needs don't bother because they are a public liability. Your taking a massive risk hiring MAN Commercial who only employ and pay for low quality guards. You would need to take out and pay for top level public liability insurance to cover your business for the security guards unpredictable behaviour, just in case a member of the public is injured whilst working at your company.

( NO THANKS)

Watch out for insecure attention seeking people who are always bragging about who they are. At MAN Commercial you will be bombarded with conversations about the owners achievements, accomplishments and successes. They can't stop showing-off and boasting about wining contracts or how much property they own. This seems to be the highlights of discussions amongst senior management at head office every day in my experience of working for them. It's very cringeworthy listening and like some sort of a competition to be discussing who wears what designer suit or who has the most expensive Rolex watch.
Nothing else seems to be important and only how much money they have in the bank or who has the fastest Range Rover. The boss goes around acting as if he is part of the mafia. His over inflated ego has spoilt the companies reputation look at me culture I am trying to be a gangster. They are a greedy company paying themselves 1.3 million in company dividend shares. They also received from tax payers money £179,086 for job retention scheme in 2020.
Two beneficiaries the CEO and his wife are the only persons registered after checking out the public records at companies house.
This business has achieved nothing to better the hard working employees who are all paid minimum wage. ( My opinion is based on evidential facts perfectly legal observations) if you work for MAN Commercial just like I did its hugely important and relevant that you hear about my experiences, so how could they be saying otherwise unless they are trying to cover up something and don't want you to hear about it. They always trying to silence and suppress it's employees is predictable, boring and desperate hearing MAN say to every negative review this person has never worked for us.

(See official facts and figures taken from public records if you don't believe me attached)

On the Government Employment Tribunals website several cases of unlawful deductions have been made against them and also accusations for disability, sex and race discrimination. Company is out of control and went rogue years ago investigating themselves when grievances are made against them. Making unlawful deductions without notice from employees wages for cheap uniform and shoddy courses that are not fit for purpose. Using a trainer that spent most of his time sitting in a Limousine and showing off about what jobs he has done abroad. Dene Josham trying to justify his position by pretending that he has known Man for years creeping around management giving out 5 star reviews after only one week with Man says it all. If your a sensible person and value your time then give this place a miss and look for a better honest employer without all of this bad history. Don't be naive take a look at what this company has been up to behind your back. It doesn't matter how posh your work place office is or whether you have the state of the art computer. What car the boss drives or how many Hugo Boss suits he has. If you ask him really nicely and he is not in a bad mood, he may tell you the real truth and the story behind that fake Rolex watch he wears! Just mention the word "NIGHTCLUB" and watch his face turn beetroot with embarrassment. The bottom line is the bloke who is running Man Commercial Protection Ltd is the biggest crook in the security industry and the quicker people see sense the better we can all move forward and get rid of fake companies like Man Commercial. Trying to portray themselves as a great company demonstrates how deluded they have become. Behind the glitter and shiny tinsel a dark side looms, just look at how many complaints made against them proves how corrupt they are. No way can this company keep saying these people never worked for them when all these staff keep coming forward taking them to employment tribunal. The owner and his associates are more bent than a two Bob bit...

Very very bad company unprofessional people. HR department is dishonest very corrupt ignoring procedures to suit them. Stay away from these people.

After several requests for uniform that fits I have give up waiting and asking. I sent the company 3 emails explaining that the white shirts are too small. A Supervisor came to site with a box, within minutes he drove away saying he was busy, but the shirts 2 sizes bigger still never fitted in the chest. Just cheap rubbish to be honest. The black fleece looked second hand to me and to my disappointment they are mean and penny pinching not supplying boots which I need for lots of patrols. I will now need to buy out of my own pocket clothes that fit me just to do my job. Already I am put off by the way this company has treated me.

Only work there 2 month rest my leg on chair as fell over@ work they finished me for it & said in letter fail probation. Change me £100 for on site training no training@ all what so ever

After reading many other reviews I have managed to pluck up some courage and speak out about MAN.

I imagine MAN appears to be a great company externally and from the top. Sadly their initiative s and/or outlook doesn't filter through the company.

Staff/lower tier management are grossly over paid for what they do due to middle layers of unnecessary management. They promise the earth without having the tools, resources or ability to carry through.

MAN Commercial are the biggest joke in the security industry. It's complete madness and crazy for clients to be paying for such chaotic unreliable services. Especially at the weekend on Sat & Sun guards are turning up for work on sites drunk, smoking and arriving just to order takeaways and get paid for doing this.

On one site when I was on Supervisor duties I was shocked to see a guard playing cards with two of his cousins, watching a film on the company site camera display TV then falling asleep inside his car with a blanket over his head.

Without any hesitation or doubt I can only describe this security provider as one of the worst in the country and not value for money either. I would not recommend anyone do business with such a shabby business. Company puts on this United front that all of its guards are fully trained and professional, but I can show you CCTV footage that proves otherwise.

After reporting several incidents to its dysfunctional head quarters which is largely made up of the owners immediate family, they are still repeatedly sending out the same guards who have committed gross misconduct behind the clients back.

That demonstrates what type of deceitful company your dealing with. MAN Commercials contract Managers are just as bad never acting swiftly enough, always ignoring good advice thinking it's ok to behave like this, no wonder they keep getting bad reviews and losing contracts. MANs pathetic response to all critising posts will be this person has never worked for us.

Never follow the crowd. You will get trapped. They have a lot of ' Useful idiots' working for them. Staff who don't care much about themselves and don't mind working for the lowest paying security company in the UK. Other securit providers do give employment packages with attractive benefits, but with man Commercial you're stripped to the bone on zero rewards and not any chance of a promotion which is soul destroying. They need to be audited by the government officials on undercover basis to catch them out on its daily activities and how they cut corners. When they do site checks nothing will ever happen if you require help. Terrible company to work for.

Direct management is mean and unprofessional. No one really likes to work directly with them. Employees get laid off and get called to come back months later

Do not trust a single person at this company, they are fake people who didn't do anything they said they would in the training. I only worked there for 2 months and can only confirm this company is family run, they write 5-star reviews for their business. In fact, there is an extremely hostile environment with extreme favoritism.

A growing number of employment tribunal cases lodged at the court services by employees complaining about missing money in wages.

It can be a little startling when a rude individual from man commercial barks at you, " Don't you know who I am? " Being a self-absorbed jerk certainly isn't going to win anyone popularity contests. We've all met self-important people who think that the world revolves around them. You would expect that someone who had their life together would be more humble and wouldn't demand that anybody should know who they are. Full of themselves always bragging and boasting on social media about contracts. Horrible company to work for, worst management I have ever experienced. Cowboy mob culture mind set doesn't begin to describe the dive. The atmosphere was awful full of bully boy bosses with massive egos throwing their weight about. It's that bad current control room employees are Inviting new recruits to join the Union in preparation for any agro in advance. Be warned.

Shamefully Man has earned its tight fisted reputation never raising salaries since it started trading 25 years ago. They are still paying £8.72 the bare minimum wage to all of its Door Supervisors, some on the payroll over 10 years. Mobile response £9.25 is a joke for such dangerous work 53p more. A complete insult to all the guards thinking this is a promotional opportunity or a step to building your career as man put it. Count your lucky stars for the governments intervention for introducing small rises, otherwise I guarantee man would have more of its 15% already living in poverty going to the Trussel trust food bank, whilst they fill their greedy pockets with your money.

Looking after staff my back side are you serious man about that. They have demoted more staff than promoted, illegally taking them off jobs in a cunning way to give to favourite married family members breaking employment laws. Even the day shift manager hated the situation warning employees before leaving to work for JLR and often felt embarrassed apologising to staff for the directors unpredictable bad temper behind his back and slamming his fists on the board room table saying ' Do you know who I am ' We even had to move heavy furniture at his house one day and was met with this appalling mean spirited grumpy attitude, not even a cuppa T. He barged past us on the stairs in a narcissistic manner with no intention of helping any of us.

Man are still paying poor wages after trading for past 25 years. Nobody gets a pay rise. Door Supervisor s on payroll over 10 years not valued at all by this company. A complete Insult to all the guards thinking this new jobs they advertising for mobile response is a promotional opportunities or a great step to building your career with them is a joke. They are paying £9.25 for Dangerous work, you got to use your own car, write reports for 53p an hour more. Any body must realise the company is just not good at looking after its staff and this shows how they like to take the Mickey. They demoted loads of people that's why the dayshift Manager left to work for JLR. He even told us he was not happy with the Directors unpredictable bad temper behind his back apologising and feeling embarrassed. The worst Incident to not forget was when the boss slammed his fists on the table which made us all jump. Do not trust these people they will have you over like all the other reviews are saying. I also worked at the head office for a short time but did not like some of the things I experienced.

Absolutely terrible company to work for, lies lies lies all along the way, no decent management, I would be surprised if the contracts manager we had could spell contract! No clue whatsoever on running a contract, worst manager I have ever had, no communication and not bothered about the staff, man seem to use agency instead of getting regular reliefs and they are useless! The company is one big mess! I would not recommend anyone going to work for these unscrupulous people! Avoid avoid avoid!

And I did work for man commercial, so please do not put your generic reply as you usually do in your comments saying that I've never worked for you and someone is sending these reviews out of spite! I was an employee and thankfully not now! Man commercial needs to buck it's ideas up and try to run a company for the employees also, not just fobbing the clients off at every attempt! Shocking company that needs to be exposed.!

I recently done some research on MAN & read it's financial public records filed at companies House for 2018 & came across this article printed through insider media.com 13:2: 2020. It's now very apparent that MAN Commercial was in big trouble during 2018 financial year in debt by £67,606 & this explains why they decided to keep hold of employees pension contributions delaying & with-hilding 37 scheduled payments according to the Trust@ NEST Corporation. ( Yes 37 not 1 or 2) This dishonest behaviour was not a mistake or office computer error as they kept saying at the time, even trying to blame NEST.

Suggesting that it was them that lost several bulk payments. Company kept telling lies & spinning untrue stories with no substance, in the hope it could fob off terrified staff asking questions worried about reprisals & losing their jobs. All this money they took out of employees wages never paid across on time was sitting in MAN Commercial Bank account & later used used to offset some of the companies debts.

Arrogantly MAN still deny any involvement & believe their own lies, even when all the evidence is stacked up against them l. I frleel sorry for anybody who got brain washed in believing that this is a well founded company. They have morals lower than a snakes belly & only care about lining its own pockets.

Really thankful for sites like this " sitejabber one of the best platforms on the market to expose rogue traders like MAN Commercial Protection " especially when you can back up your post with uploaded 100% verified articles. Some of this stuff may seem trivial, but when it comes to genuine abuse of power & Bullying, MAN Commercial takes the Jaffa cake in every aspect & you should avoid them never work for them. Company needs to be dismantled by the security industry authority & lose its approved contractor fake status title. MAN Commercial is a bad example of a how a security company should be run with all the dispicable rotten things gone on over the years & still happening today.

I think my search for alternative work is going well and come at the right time. Now that MAN are unable to do any festivals or large gathering events such as football stewarding, most of its summer work is going to dry up.

The events industry is a complete right off this year for 2020. That's certainly the feedback I have been given from people who plan all the jobs at head office who have said Glastonbury is cancelled.

It's a real shame because I lived getting paid to listen to music and a free suntan. The boxing venues was ok and working at Star City, but most places are closing down, so this profession is not needed for the foreseeable future and I really hope MAN Commercial Protection don't go bump or is dropped to its knees by all the chaod.

Shops, bars and restaurants can't afford to pay for security services when they are making no money. I remember last time we had a crisis MAN Commercial never paid its staff that worked on the Carrillion building sites, so please be cautious doing loads of hours for them expecting to be paid if a contract goes bust.

My elderly colleague called them today very concerned about self isolating, but MAN ignored him not returning his cal about the coronavirus crisis after anxiously waiting all day long. Then today I noticed they was advertising in a desperate manner for guards to cover extra shifts unprotected at Amazon warehouses.

Don't even be tempted by the measley extra £2 an hour they are offering. Nobody unless stupid is going to risk their health/career just to cover a couple of shifts for MAN who are only in pursuit to make profit. The chances of catching a virus through cross contamination is extremely high because Amazon deals with a lot of parcels.

Be safe and stay at home rather than take any unnecessary risks and good luck for the future.

The recruiting processes are appalling and your more likely to be paying for a drunk to be guarding your premises or someone who likes to sleep through a 12 hour shift.

I rarely write reviews about a company, but on this occasion I felt compelled. I am not one little bit surprised to hear or read about what happened to other individuals working for these cowboys, because the same mistreatment and unfair dismissal happened to me. Some of you will be familiar remembering how MAN Commercial Protection treated me. The Director sacked me immediately in a rage of unnecessary jealously. For what I thought to be an act of kindness giving the Directors wife a lift home in the rain. She even happily volunteered to get in my car a BMW, but her husband did not approve losing his temper and decided to abuse his position by sacking me. The following day in a cowardly act of revenge I received a text to say my employment services was no longer required and there was no point in returning as my contract was to be terminated under a falsified policy. There is no way MAN could say I did not work for them as all of my colleagues remember this incident very well and would vouch saying the company frequently abuses it's position. The boss man in charge definitely needs to take the anger management course and stop making threats against his staff. All the respect I once had for them went out of the window after this embarrassing outburst. I was one of the lucky ones finding employment the following week with my brother Mark who works for a computer business. Multiple other guards he sacked on the spot whilst having a temper tantrum was not so fortunate. Genuine people all relying on wages struggled to pay bills after losing their livelihoods because of the Directors bad moods. It's reckless, abusive behaviour to be taking advantage in this manner. They are causing misery and hardship forcing staff to leave. This needs to be reported and investigated. They have a trigger happy structure to fire and rehire on lesser terms. MAN has already earned a bad reputation for themselves and deserves to lose contracts. Just type into any search engine to see who has previously complained through employment tribunals about them. The company is a total train wreck with nothing left to salvage. Every single top bloke that ever worked for them has sadly walked away deserting them. It's a rubbish company considering the Director is the main culprit always bullying and scaremongering. Then has the cheek to pay every one minimum wage, saying he is doing us all a favour in a condescending attitude. The chief boss man who acts more like a gangster than any entrepreneur needs to be struck off any business memberships and his crony family related management team all need replacing to stop the daily systematic abuse and corruption. MAN Commercial past and present behaviour is a disgrace to the security profession. Shockingly the security industry Authority known as the (Sia) gave this rogue company approved contractor status saying they are trustworthy to use.! Trust me when I say you will never find a more wretched hive of rogue behaviour and villainy in the entire universe. These people at head office can turn on you in a split second they are truly vile. I would NEVER use them for security services or recommend them or trust them whatsoever at face value. Be seriously warned about what they are capable of doing if your face don't fit or you question them. Any new recruits should take a moment to read through some of these negative reviews all over the internet. Thank God for all the whistle-blowers now coming forward to share their bad and very disturbing experiences.
