Business Link Barnsley or should I say "Failure Rate 100%" Barnsley is headed up by what most people would describe as failed a everything so work for Business Link. My experience was with one hopeless case Mr Kevin Smith who professed to come from a business background and have a wealth of expertise. I sinse which found out his business went bust and he ended up at Business Link. However, that I could live with as in some ways a failure may have at least learned something but in this "Ass Holes" case, he learned nothing.
His opening line was a simple one. "I can get you up to £10, 000 in Grant Funding from the Government" but I want £2000 for the trouble. £1000 now and £1000 when completed. I call that a CON as his role was to undertake his expertise to provide the client with the best service, in his case thats a joke as I would have took the deal but saw the following on the internet that soon led me to find he is a crook in the worst format:

I now understand why this Man is simply a waste of space, he can't deliver anything as he personaly is incopetant but worse still he is a crook. Apparently what he does is takes the £1000 and then just goes quiet. He can only get from the Government what you can get yourself and the reason he cant get anything and you probably can is that he is a lazy Bas*ard and would rather just deny any sh*t that comes his way. He normally hangs arround the "Toby Inn" at Barnsley where he is not under too much susspicion but where he looks busy, the problem is I saw him today with a lady from 12.00pm through to 15.00pm which in anyones world is a long lunch at the Tax Payers expence.
Beware of this Con Man, be very aware of Kevin Smith from Rotherham who works for Business Link in Barnsley.
