Ref carbon monoxide detectors? In the US, these detectors are placed at low levels ( ie just above skirting board height) this I understood is because CO2 is a heavy gas and accumulates at floor level and does not rise like many other gases. I see here in the UK these CO2 alarms fitted at top of door height, on the ceilings? Im no chemist so welcome expertise from anyone on factual advice on nature of CO2 characteristics in this issue, if in fact it lies low then alarms at ceiling height will prove ineffective and possibly too late to prove useful in detecting this invisible killer.

As a previous branch manager I totally agree with Chris Rowley. I see pending doom for this giant, who treated highly experienced staff as idiots, clients as un-important while they chased expansion and profit for those at the top. Can't say I have much sympathy! Lets see what next week brings but I expect many high streets will see further closures.

I was employed as so called "branch manager". The changes in 2013 from anyone with any long term experience in the business was nothing short of madness, unethical and rolled out with little regard for regional staff, or more importantly without any regard for its clients or for brand reputation. I have watched CW's demise ever since and in hindsight was glad to be out of working in such a unscrupulous mind-set so not surprised in the least at its fall from grace.

Interesting reading for sure. As an Ex Countrywide Branch Manager, they seem to have lost the plot. I maintain my stance that property is our product, but this industry is about people, dismiss that and you lose your base of sellers, landlords and demoralize staff. Lack of Customer Service, Client retention, referral from exceeding client expectations has not served them well. So good luck to the ex CW who have decided to jump ship. As for JDW brand...living in the past.
