This from Hero of Troy...
Whilst the government demands ever greater efficiencies from the industry one particular supplier is making hay whilst the sun shines.
Welcome to Achilles Link-up, the monopoly that suppliers to Network Rail have to register with to supply goods and services into the company.
Plainly imbued with the spirit of the age Achilles have just announced a whopping 16% increase in fees that suppliers must pay to register their products or services on the Link-up system from October.
Achilles service director Andy Harrison claimed the price increase would help simplify the system!
After all, says Harrison, “it was not increased last year and Industry should recognise that fully implementing Link-up as a supplier selection tool will generate savings”.
With Achilles exhibiting such bare faced cheek most suppliers now know exactly how Deidamia felt.
UPDATE: This from The Archer...
With RISAS slowly but surely gaining Industry momentum I wonder if it's time for Achilles to come to heel?
