Students helped by Rossendale bailiff firm
9:00pm Friday 3rd February 2012 in News
STUDENTS from Accrington & Rossendale College have taken over catering duties at one of East Lancashire’s most successful businesses.
The college has launched a partnership with bailiff firm Rossendales, which will see its hospitality and catering students get a taste of work at the enforcement and debt-collection agency’s Helmshore headquarters.
The unique project will involve two apprentices working at Rossendales’ catering facility full-time, in addition to students working at the business throughout their college course.
The college consulted with Rossendales to ensure the menu on offer will suit the needs of its 180 staff, with a large emphasis being put on fresh, healthy and nutritious options.
Liz Duncan, head of hospitality and catering at Accrington & Rossendale College, said: “Rossendales believe strongly in supporting the community and this innovative project gives our students a great opportunity to run their own large-scale catering facility.
“In addition, our learners will gain invaluable commercial work-experience.
“They will have to work at the pace of real chefs and deal with real customers and that can only strengthen their claims for employment when they graduate and begin looking for a job.”
Some of the food will be prepared at the college’s facility at the Globe Centre, while some will be prepared on site at Rossendales.
Julie Green-Jones, chairman of Rossendales, said: “We’ve always had a commitment to good, high quality training and the apprentices and students from the college will get the practical experience they need for their CVs.
“This is a solid way for Rossendales to make a contribution to the workforce of the future, which will be vital for all businesses.”
An architecture graduate, Sam Gilding from Leeds Metropolitan University, has also worked to revamp the canteen.
Since 2007 Rossendales’ local and central government work has grown by 55 per cent and its private sector jobs are up by 412 per cent. It collects more than £92million of debt on behalf of clients.

A photographer claimed he was punched in the face by a bailiff who then allegedly drove his car towards at least one person and carried another on his bonnet for 50 yards. But Rossendales, which was appointed by the lawyers of Sun Street Properties, the UBS-owned subsidiary that went to court to evict the activists, said the protesters had been “verbally abusive” Sticks and stones.....
This is the same firm i presume.? Capital Chris is all flustered again he should know.

If that is the case,then why are vunerable people bullied and intimidated by your company?Why lets say,do your workforce bend the rules to suit,type incorrect threatening letters, behave in a manner more suited to a cat burglar and why of why do they insist on entering vunerable peoples properties under the pretence of law?
WHEN the tables turn on companys such as yours,for the intimidation of people in a disadvantaged situation they may have found themselves in YOU will not have enough PENNIES left to purchase WHOOPS lables from asda!!!
The times they are a changing,and soon,you will be exposed for all the misery you have caused to innocent victims,because,that is what they are VICTIMS to an over greedy corrupt chain of PIZZTAKERS such as yourselves.
I would say the biggest majority of your incomes come from the already disadvantaged in society,the unlucky people for whatever reason who have fallen into the housing benefit cycle trap along with the council tax...

An apprenticeship is all about offering a student a mix of a college education and real work experience at the same time. Yeah they are paid less but they get the education FREE! I am currently in full time work and paying over £1000 a year for education, I would be better off on an apprenticeship after I have paid everyone.
Quick to judge, even quicker to back down once the facts hit you in the face!

Filthy evil bailiffs, filthy lying cops.
Call it a successful business? It's not business, it's blood money taken from vulnerable people. I am amazed that Sherriff of Nottingham style tax collection tactics are still allowed in this day and age.
If that hag got run over by a bus in front of me, I wouldn't help her; I'd just point and laugh.
If someone pushed her under a bus, I'd just say 'she simply stepped in front of it'!!!
Why does the Telegraph keep glorifying these animals????

OK this firm might make a mistake occasionally but they are only working on information received.Are you seriously saying that people should be let off paying their way and let the rest of us pick up the tab,well forget it.Long may firms like this exist while people refuse to pay their way and expect society to dig then out of their own mess.At the end of the day citizens advice is there to help people out if they are wanting help.
In the first four months of the financial year (1 April – 31 July 2011) Citizens Advice Bureaux in England and Wales recorded a seven per cent drop in the total number of people they were able to help (779,000) compared with the same period last year. Cuts to bureau funding averaging 10% took effect from April last year.So how can you expect people with financial difficulties to get help from the (CAB) this year..? If you think it's just a matter of popping down the local (CAB) to resolve your financial difficulties your in for a shock.And anyone who thinks otherwise is'nt living in the real world.(CAB) needs help to survive at the moment.
Wake up people time and resources are running out.

After they hire a room in the local court then pay the magistarates to rubber stamp THEIR mistakes it then ends up in this companys hands..Or should i say BOWELS!!!
The franchise for help has been taken away from the people who are in desperate need and the most vunerable and they are victamised by these companys and the local council..
MOST of the bills sent to them are over inflated and untrue and it needs to be stopped as all as these peeps are doing is creating work for themselves on the back of the poor people of this country.

If you pay your bills, you don't end up being faced with bailiffs - and Rossendale's is no worse than any of these firms. They're trying to give kids a decent education and getting a lot of stick for doing so. They're dammed if they do, they're dammed if they don't - whichever way, they loose.

An appreticeship is to learn the skills of a job and what they do is illegal,so,what are you actually going to learn?How to intimidate and bully?How to try and barge your way in peoples homes?How to lie and act in an illegal manner?
.
If you are in full time work and feel after you have paid everyone that this apprenticeship would be better for you,THEN you aint that RICH yourself sir!!!

I have had a very bad experience with these monsters after a mix up. I will never forget it. That ginger hag who I understand has now dyed her hair blonde goes around with her pet heavy is an evil coward bully. They forced their way in to my house after they got the police to knock on the door after she phoned them to say I had smashed my car into her van - which I hadn't. She phoned them on her mobile outside my house, shouting everything and making a big scene to embarrass me in front of my neighbours. Whilst shoving their way in, she headbutted my arm and threw herself to the ground shrieking that I had assaulted her. The policeman said 'sorry, I can't give you that one' as his face was right next to the action and he saw what she did, although he did effectively aid and abett these monsters. I asked him how he could allow this to happen and he simply smirked 'they didn't force their way in, they just stepped in'.
Filthy evil bailiffs, filthy lying cops.

SHOREMAN YOUR A PLONKER SHUT UP IN THIS CLIMATE PEOPLE ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO PAY THERE BILLS THESES ROSSENDALE SCUMBAGS WILL NOT TRY AND HELP YOU PAY YOUR DEBTS ALL THEY DO IS BULLY YOU I WOULD LOVE THEM TO COME TO MY DOOR TRYING TO THROW THERE WEIGHT ABOUT
And secondly, there you go again talking the talk about loving a confrontation with them at your front door. Only a few weeks ago there was an article about Asians grooming girls that you commented on saying that your step daughter had been verbally abused by some males whilst in your company. Didn't see you loving a confrontation then!
If they knocked on your door you'd be hiding in the wardrobe that fast you'd be having adventures in Narnia.
