potty trained Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Just been having a look through our Directors LinkdIn Profiles and would you believe, Brian Donald, Director of Partick Thistle, amongst his other interests, list himself as Business Director of SitexOrbis... A quick google search of "SitexOrbis Partick Thistle" throws up this wee gem: http://www.orbisprotect.com/sitexorbis-scores-partick-thistle/ Now i am sure that this went out to tender and SitexOrbis won the contract as being the best suited and cheapest for the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I really worry about my club sometimes, is Donald on the board from buying shares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) They obviously forgot about the bogs in the main if my two visits there at the Celtic games are anything to go by! Edited May 13, 2014 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peagreenboy Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Oh god. This website has suddenly turned into the Private Eye of the Jags world, in terms of stones being turned over and me getting pissed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Oh god. This website has suddenly turned into the Private Eye of the Jags world, in terms of stones being turned over and me getting pissed off. Archie out right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda-jag Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 i'm sure this is not another example of them treating ptfc as their private wee club for their own gain, any inference of jobs for the boys and shady dealings are surely wide of the mark.

billko Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Season ticket boycotts and directors companies getting contracts sounds very familiar to me. Edited May 13, 2014 by billko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 No right-thinking Thistle fan could ever contemplate the notion that this contract was obtaining in any other manner than by open tendering. ....Could they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillresigned Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I refuse to believe that the BoD's is composed of anything, but gentlefolk of the utmost integrity and I believe its is right gracious of them to allow we peasants to breath the same air as they do for nearly ninety minutes nearly every fortnight.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm kinda old school where the football club chairman was the local butcher/baker (I've never met a candlestick maker). Lo and behold we can all guess whose pies were sold at the game. As long as the pies weren't bowfin' nobody seemed to complain or mention tendering etc. I'd therefore be a bit hypocritical to start questioning our property regeneration specialist as long as the condition of our stadium isn't bowfin'.

BowenBoys Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 It is entirely possible that the tendering process was quite proper and the lowest bidder was a director doing the club a favour. Let's not get sidetracked from the North Stand issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Amistha holding purchased them on 12/12/13, can't see any director named Brian Donald - might be missing something or he was maybe one of the directors prior to take over / only saying ! Orbis > About Us > Company Board Company Board Layton Tamberlin – Acting MD Richard Sanders – Director John McNeil – Non-Executive Director Peter Selkirk – Non-Executive Director Robin Miller – Chairman After a period of uncertainty during a Competition Commission process, SitexOrbis was acquired in February 2013 by a consortium of experienced, patient and well-funded private individuals focused on ensuring a period of stability and growth over the next ten years. Over the past year, the organisation restructured to focus on its regional business, and won several key pieces of new business.

cjptfc Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 It is entirely possible that the tendering process was quite proper and the lowest bidder was a director doing the club a favour. Let's not get sidetracked from the North Stand issue. That's what I was thinking. If his company were capable of doing a good job, and gave the club a good discount then what's the problem? As BowenBoys has said, don't get sidetracked from the more important issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
