Issues with Driver Conduct
Reviews highlight concerns about the behaviour of Grampian Continental's drivers. One reviewer mentioned that they were driving recklessly, with leaking fluids and blasting horns that were disturbing to nearby residents. Other reviewers were troubled by the company's involvement in fracking, a practice that they believe is a threat to the environment and public health.
Disappointment with the Company's Values
Some reviewers expressed disappointment that a Scottish company like Grampian Continental was involved in fracking, which they believe goes against the company's stated values of ethical behaviour. One reviewer was particularly upset that the company was helping to inflict harm on others, including children and grandchildren, who will have to live with the consequences of this industry.
Hygiene and Safety Concerns
Reviews also raised concerns about the company's facilities and hygiene standards. Although one reviewer appreciated that masks were worn at the driver's discretion and that facilities were good, others were concerned about the potential risks of contamination and the lack of safety measures in place.
