PDS MD Tim Fairley in ITV election special
Date published: 09 April 2015

PDS MD Tim Fairley featured on ITV Granada Reports
In the run up to the general election many are asking themselves whether they feel better or worse off in regards to cost of living over the past five years. This was the focus of a piece by Daniel Hewitt at ITV Granada, part of an election special that featured on Wednesday evening.
The aim was to highlight the contrast in experiences people are having across the region. PDS MD Tim Fairley was identified as an employer whose company is growing rapidly and has been able to employ 50 new staff, none of which are on zero hour contracts. This was compared to Katasha, a lady who’s had a completely different experience.
She feels that while working within hospitality she has grown worse off over the past five years which she put largely down to the lack of job security she has with a zero hour contracts.
Mr Fairley explains why he doesn’t believe zero hour contracts are suitable at PDS: “What we need is people who show loyalty to us because they know they’ve got a job and it’s a permanent job, via that we can train them and invest in them and then they can invest themselves in PDS”.
