What goes around comes around and what you sow is what you reap.

These are just a handful of the hundreds of archived reviews in circulation that MAN Commercial Protection Limited doesn't want you to see or read. Over the years they have tried relentlessly to hide them and threaten staff to remove them from platforms by any means possible.

Cheats and bullies never prosper in the end because they always get caught and end up looking over their shoulders. This company has fraudulent deep rooted tendencies and does not deserve to be trading under the ACT scheme with so many dishonest practices taking place each day like many negative reviews are saying.

They should be dismantled and removed from companies house immediately and stru ck off that registrar with a permanent banning order in place. They cannot be trusted, always acting, or proceeding in a particular dodgy way. As you can see MAN Commercial Protection have extensive history of abusing staff and dozens of Employment Tribunal cases, complaints and Grievances lodged against them.

Nobody would have worked for them or signed contracts with them if they had of read all of these reviews first. It all makes sense now why they are desperately trying to silence and cancel out workers opinions by fraudulently placing lots of dummy 5 star reviews.

They are proper two faced scumbags who like to play dirty and lots of Ex-employees have confirmed that by reporting them for unlawful deductions, Breach of Contract, Race Discrimination etc. Some staff who was too frightened to speak out just walked away abandoning their Jobs and never returned. Many employees reported this company to the Employment Tribunal Services for unfair treatment, so please take a look at the evidence if you don't believe me or if your walking around in self denial with your eyes closed.

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.

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.

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)

Just a terrible company
November 24, 2022

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.

If your working
October 27, 2022

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.

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...

The company Director now CEO must think his employees was all born yesterday and easy to fob off. MAN Commercial is rife with corruption and malpractice. It's deep rooted within all the family members that run this privately owned security company. For the past 10 years the CEO have the position of HR Manager to his dishonest wife, who you can never trust. She took advantage on a grand scale coming in early to rifle through employees grievances. All of the companies complaints, grievances and serious accidents on sites was as expected investigated by themselves in house, dealt with informally. Dozens of incidents ignored and covered up through delibrately abusing senior positions of trust. Craig Tetley and Graham Kent both control room supervisos left this company in absolute disgust and was sacked after asking for one pay rise in 8 years service. I remember security guards falling down exposed drains who sustained injuries needing hospital treatment.

One chap needed stitches to see his thigh back together. I also remember guards working in dangerous derilict buildings in the pitch dark treading on protruding rusty nails and live bare electric cables in walls. Several also banged their heads and slipped on wet floors from leaking roofs. One major incident a worker was off for 52 days both knees damaged and MAN refused to pay him sick pay until the solicitors got involved.

These jobs was littered with Health & Safety issues and when we complained the CEO would sarcastically say if your scared of the dark your in the wrong job. Filthy unsafe sites and jobs that MAN Commercial was giving out under contract. The CEO was always making threats towards employees to drop compensation claims made against his company. Telling them he might have to call upon a few favours he was owed from friends in Spain. Frightening them by saying he is a member of the Freemasons and can get any job done no questions asked whatever that means.

Toxic company to work for
September 13, 2021

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)

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.!

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.

UNPROFESSIONAL
October 7, 2020

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.

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.

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.
