Optima reprimanded by the SRA over Capita investment

As for the trainee point - the Bradford 'Head Office' never took on trainees until Optima 'merged' with McKeags (effectively a take-over given all the redundancies that followed). As McKeags had training contracts, it was agreed that Bradford could... however they immediately announced that they would no longer be doing them at the Newcastle office... Cutbacks! I to am annoyed that only a reprimand was given to the partners... The way that Optima was run by Capita was a disgrace (and it did indeed seem that it was run by them)! I left their employment as I was completely changing career, however I was unimpressed with the merger and the outcomes that arose and I know many people who left for similar reasons, or were made redundant, whilst overtime was made compulsory to meet demand...
