UPDATE 29.10.2014: People have been contacting me about Alex McMillan and Success Moves following bad experiences at recruitment events. If you have had a bad experience with the company feel free to check out this new blog and/or email directly with your story at veniamin.tal@gmail.com. The plan is to collect victim statements in the coming few months and then decide if a case can be made against the company.
This is the face of Alex McMillan, the London Fashion Exchange's new training partner.
Check out this Youtube video in which he talks all about his training programme, then have a look at the comments left underneath the video.
Desperately unscrupulous? Success Moves is a scam?? Alex McMillan is a Buffoon??? A lying bastard??? Not my accusations, dear readers!
Where does all this nasty name-calling come from? Let's have a look at this article in the Daily Mirror. An extract is posted below.
So it seems that Alex McMillan's Success Moves has a history of working with unscrupulous companies - one of which (Worldwide Wealth Collections) went into liquidation with a £1million black hole.
But anyway, Alex McMillan is obviously just the sort of person that the management team at London Fashion Exchange consider perfect for their operations.
Here is the sexy, newly updated London Fashion Exchange careers page discussing the 'success' of their training programme (see section 10 for a selection of responses from trainees) and their new partnership with Alex McMillan's Success Moves:
What the hell happened to the training programme that was devised with the help of Jordan Belfort - the Wolf of Wall Street? As mentioned in post one, when I was at interview last month Roland told me Jordan Belfort had helped devise the London Fashion Exchange training programme, and that was why I would have to pay 85 GBP for the privilege of attending. I was told that Jordan Belfort doesn't work with "any old company", and that London Fashion Exchange was incredibly fortunate to have secured a partnership with "a guy so famous that he is now the subject of a Hollywood movie". Paying Belfort to design the course for London Fashion Exchange had, according to Roland, cost the company thousands of pounds.
Now the training has been redesigned by Alex McMillan, the "Buffoon" of West Sussex? What does Leonardo Di Caprio think about all this?
Alex McMillan's Success Moves is hardly material for Hollywood. Is it not a little odd that the website of an international marketing consultancy company operates off a Word Press platform? And while we're at it... was that website header knocked up on MS Paint?
But anyway, McMillan's MS Paint skills (or lack thereof) are by the by.
One thing that strikes me from the Daily Mirror's investigation is the fact that on paper Worldwide Wealth Collectors Ltd was run by an 'Nicholas Jones', but that operations were run by the Bentley-driving Noel Surin. Is it reasonable to imagine a parallel situation with the London Fashion Exchange? On paper the company is run by Joe Cox. Like Nicholas Jones, Cox is the 'fall guy' - but like Noel Surin, Roland Tilman will be reaping the financial benefits? It is something to think about. Particularly for Joe Cox. does he really know what he has got himself into?
If you are reading this Joe - and I have it on good authority that you read the blog - feel free to get in touch. You know my email.
Here's another 'scam and fraud' outfit to avoid, the London School of Business and Finance...
ReplyDeleteLondon School of Business and Finance. In October 2013 Britain's ITV aired "Exposure: Undercover Colleges". We need to warn potential students that the investigation highlighted yet another area which the UK government has failed to regulate properly. Private colleges like the LSBF, often set up by foreign nationals, are established to attract overseas students. The "Exposure" programme filmed several students demanding refunds of fees for a range of legitimate reasons. Undercover reporters also filmed staff saying that the "college" had a policy of "no refunds".
The investigation seemed to demonstrate that the London School of Business and Finance concentrated on improving the finances of its owners. The students appeared to be a secondary consideration.

After reading this im quit shocked to find that they are advertising for vacancies within there so called company of scams. On reed.co.uk. already I have found over 30 applicants trying to get an interview with this company. I'm surprised that a reputable company like reed would allow to offer any help towards this scam of a company.
