Hi just found this:

Have a look at the headquarters picture on the site The address is alpha towers in Southampton apparently (nice cars though) :p :

The joys of photoshop

You would have thought they would superimpose a higher res logo or designed a fake sign gobo from mh etc lol?

It's a pretty poor photshop job at that! It's blatantly obvious it isn't real. :d

and really bad parking skills lol

[Kernow]

And they're based in a stairwell ???? :p

The building looks very much like one I have seen in milton keynes. The parking markout and ticket machine are identacle as well.

Wouldnt it be illegal to claim they are based there rather than elsewhere? I know some companies use po box numbers in famous roads like oxford street london etc.

The address given is the correct one although the picture isn't. Bit stupid really cos if i was a customer i would see right through it.

Judging by some of the BS I've seen on websites, this is clearly another attempt to mislead people by pretending to be something they're not.

If you ask me, that's a very large building for an agency.

I'd have thought they could get their telephone, computer & paperwork into something slightly smaller & cheaper!

:shrug:

I think if the guys that made the picture were to read this, they may just have a little chuckle (I doubt they were serious)

You seen my new offices?

Even so, it must effect business? they must have been smoking something when doing it lol.

The rest of the site is good and they have some well priced acts in a one stop entertainment shop. The prices are well set too.

I thought i have a look a little deeper throughout their website.

the micra / corsa bit made me laugh, ( only briefly mind you).

also, by my reckoning, if i were one of the DJ's they were recruiting, i'd earn more if i was one of their strippers, i think i'd get loads of booking with my stripper name - blubba ball :D

God i hope they are a bit more picky. Asking for "some expirience of djing required or at least the ability to give it a go".

I know they are advertising for student dj's but at £10 per hour who would do that and where would they put them? Not straight in to a club i hope?

student djing is not too hard but they do have very eclectic tastes and a very good knowledge of many decades is required and a good personality.

Could be an attempt to rip them off by charging the client much more possibly? They are supplying the equipment so may be a ploy to take on loads of fresh meat and train them up?
