PF is not without blame, remember "that boat"......even now he still continues to bull5h1t us. He cannot even give away the SQ without making it feel like a brexit negotiation. I thought we were in the security business, a sector that is growing as world threat increases..so why is the gestation period to win a contract 5 years.... it makes no sense. Everything wsg is shrouded in secrecy yet the world builds or upgrades airports and contractors win security contracts, yet wsg do not, our awards always stall.....trump mess, africa re org.....ghana spat....wouldnt surprise me PF states we were about to be awarded a contract in Turkey before they became friendless......pf wants to move up the food chain to managed services which is long term s ense, but it seems that they do not have the forsight to manage risk in these countries and just become victims...so not so sure its bad luck, you are supposed to be prepared and plan for political uncertainty as part of the bidding process, if chance of success is low go somewhere else, but i strongly suspect that all your major suppliers will not touch these countries as they know cos is low...leaving the door open for wsg to have a go.....unfortunately the major players are right in that PF has still not won anything after 7 years of trying.....smiths detection have probably won loads in less complex countries and ones in which we never play because we are a lowly minnow .
