I'd only recently discovered this video, searched for it here and found slad's post...one of those no one ever responded to, and it got me thinking...

What we can do, is select from the list of posts slad made that no one responded to and say something about it.

It would be like having slad back again!

p.s. Percentage wise - S.L.A.D. is #1 in new topic posts which is why there were so many unresponded to, imo.

Oh yes, to be clear, it's just a matter of volume, not the sad cricket song of apathetic disinterest.

Serco has seen a large amount of criticism involving its private prisons and detention centres. In particular, the Union of Christmas Island Workers has said about the Christmas Island detention centre, which hosts many refugees as well as 1,000 children who have tried to immigrate into Australia, "Serco's failure to perform is huge." Serco has been accused of beating prisoners, not adequately maintaining their physical and mental health, and allowing suicide and self-harm incidents to increase over time. Australian ombudsman Allan Asher said to the Australian radio show AM, "In the first week of June when I visited Christmas Island, more than 30 incidents of self harm by detainees held there were reported."

Serco, in a company memo leaked to The Australian, blamed the detainees for "creating a culture of self harm," and using it as a "bargaining tool." Serco has been fined for breaches of contract every month it has managed detention centres in Australia, leading to a total of $4 million in fines in early 2011. Also, Serco's Christmas Island detention center was reported by its own former manager to be "typically 15 staff members short every day."

Serco has also gained criticism for its inefficiency in its pathology labs. Its laboratories in St Thomas' Hospital saw an increase in the number of clinical incidents, such as patients getting inappropriate blood when their medical history was not flagged by the system or patients' kidney damage results being calculated incorrectly. A Serco employee later revealed that the company had given false reports to the National Health Service 252 times over its medical services in Cornwall.

Our History

From the RAF to PPPs,

Serco has been a pioneer since it started 80 years ago
Serco began life in 1929 when Radio Corporation of America formed a UK subsidiary, RCA Services Limited, to support the country's growing cinema industry. In the early 1960s the company won a piece of work that was to shape its future direction - a maintenance contract for the UK Ballistic Missile Early Warning System at the Royal Air Force (RAF) base at Fylingdales. This expanded into a contract to operate the technical facilities at the base and provide comprehensive support to the RAF - which we continue to do today. In the 1980s the UK Ministry of Defence began a programme of outsourcing and contracting for the operation and maintenance of defence installations and facilities - and it used Fylingdales as the model.

Blast-off for a new era
Two other outsourcing markets emerged in the 1970s and early 1980s - and with them, important new opportunities for us. The European Space Agency (ESA) was formed in 1973, with operational support provided by member nations. And, in 1982, for the first time, the Greater London Council awarded contracts for the maintenance of London's traffic signals by geographic area. By successfully improving services such as these, we quickly established a reputation for helping customers achieve their policies and objectives.

New name, new opportunities
Following a management buyout in 1987, RCA Services Limited was renamed Serco Limited. In 1988, the company achieved a full listing on the London Stock Exchange as Serco Group plc. A period of expansion and diversification followed. Governments across the developed world were beginning programmes of management reform and outsourcing, introducing competition for the services needed to sustain and improve public services. At the same time, private sector organisations increasingly saw the value of outsourcing support services, freeing up management to focus on core activities. Serco won business in the civil government, transport and commercial/industrial markets, and established operations in Asia Pacific and North America.

The forefront of innovation
Since the 1990s, with the success of initiatives to introduce change in public services, the market has become more complex. Increasingly, Serco's role is not just to support core public services but actually to provide them, with our staff dealing directly with the public. More sophisticated public private partnerships have emerged such as joint ventures and private finance initiatives (PFIs) which involve collaboration with public authorities and charity partners in areas such as education, health and justice. Many opportunities are being created that our track record, expertise and innovation put us in a great position to support.

Washington Technology Top 100: #44 (Note: last listing before Serco acquisition)

SI International, Inc. of McLean, Va., is a key NSA contractor now owned by Serco Inc. of the UK, the world’s largest outsourcing company. SI runs some of the NSA’s support and management functions. Its niche is advising intelligence and defense agencies on their acquisition and outsourcing strategies. It also helps intelligence agencies as they shift from proprietary “stove-pipes” to integrating their IT systems with sister agencies and the Pentagon’s evolving Global Information Grid. GIG is the Internet-like system that will theoretically link military commanders, warfighters, and national collection agencies into a single classified network.

In August 2008, SI was acquired by Serco Inc., which describes itself as a “a leading provider of professional, technology, and management services focused on the federal government.” SI International is now part of Serco’s North American division. See Serco’s press release.

SI bought into many of its contracts by acquiring smaller companies holding specialized NSA contracts. Of particular importance was SI’s $30 million acquisition in 2004 of Bridge Technology Corporation, which had extensive contracts with defense intelligence agencies. Bridge “really gave us name-brand recognition within the intelligence community,” S. Bradford “Bud” Antle, SI’s former president and CEO, told investors during a 2006 Washington conference on defense investing sponsored by the Friedman Billings Ramsey investment firm. “The IC wants other players. They get a bit in-bred because they have a set of contractors that are clean with capabilities they’ve known forever.” For that reason, agencies are pleased when they “see an acquisition like us buying Bridge.”
Corporate Information

According to SI’s old website, the company specializes in “mission critical outsourcing.” That means SI International “is an expert in putting together mission-critical business process outsourcing (BPO) solutions for record management and processing, case management, workflow management, human resource services, and logistics operations. These outsourcing arrangements increase efficiency, productivity and quality of service, lower administrative costs, reduce office supply costs, enhance supervisory oversight over personnel, minimize time spent on unnecessary research and statistical analysis, and enable civilian agency and Department of Defense personnel to take on higher priority assignments. Given today’s global environment, government employees are routinely asked to take on more and more tasks with increasingly finite resources, which makes the need for these BPO arrangements even more acute.”
CorpWatch Analysis

Because of its high-visibility role as an adviser for the NSA, SI has filled its management team and board of directors with former high-ranking intelligence officials. Harry Gatanas, SI’s executive vice president for strategic programs, oversees the company’s business with the Pentagon and its intelligence agencies and remains with the company as Serco’s Senior Vice President, Defense & Intelligence Group. Gatanas came to SI directly from the NSA, where he was the agency’s senior acquisition executive and the contracting manager for Project Groundbreaker, one of the largest outsourcing projects ever undertaken by a federal government agency. Prior to coming to the NSA, Gatanas spent 30 years in military intelligence, where his duties included managing contracts for the Army.
Recent Contracts/Events

In April 2008, SI announced that it was a member of an SAIC team that won a multi-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract supporting the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Under the contract, SAIC wrote in a press release, “SAIC will support the DIA mission with services in areas including foreign cultures, regional dynamics, illicit drugs, infectious disease and health, and emerging and disruptive technologies to provide effective analysis for the Defense Intelligence Enterprise.” SI’s latest contract with the NSA was signed in April 2008, when it won three “Enterprise Program Management” contracts with a potential value of more than $300 million. Under the contracts, SI will help NSA “upgrade its acquisition management services” and “modernize its information technology, systems and programs” (major subcontractors on the project include Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin). In 2005, SI signed a three-year contract with the NSA to provide training in financial management, and in 2006 added a five-year $6.9 million “task order” to run the NSA’s human resources “welcome center” in Fort Meade.

I've seen SERCO all over the place here on OZ , I even worked from them back in early 2000's as a Defense contractor.
Suppliers of manpower for high value business like defence , immigration & mining . I'm working in NW Western Australia nowadays and they run a lot of the remote camps supplying minimum standard food and accommodation for mining. You can never escape the lumbering beasts that rule the world

Great idea, conniption! I remember this post. We will miss the info from SLAD. Hope he/she changes his/her mind and decides to come back! Now that damn song is stuck in my head, "Hypnotized" by Fleetwood Mac..."seems like a dream, got me hypnotized!" I usually hate that band, but that's a really good song. Anything without Stevie Nicks is so much better. Peter Green was great, wasn't he in the early years of that band? This one reminds me of Peter Green. Babbling brook, I am!

[Jerky]

Wait, didn't SLAD say she changed her mind?!

[Searcher08]

Serco seem to be a really curious company. I dealt with them an end-user as my former partner had become disabled and needed both wheelchairs and adaptations to it. Serco were contracted to do that and the people who we interacted with were a model of both effectiveness and great customer service.
My intuition is that this was a company with for a long time a pretty de-centralised structure, who ended up growing insanely when they were in exactly the right place at the right time for the privatisation and outsourcing waves, and have grown like ITT - a huge sprawling conglomerate. I think 9/11 then meant they were positioned for mad growth from servicing the needs of the global Mil/Intel complex.

The word value, or its plural, I think is pretty much a code word, or an unambiguous signal to evangelicals, fundamentalists, Pentecostalists that he, Chris Hyman, is like-minded, in case there had been doubt.

Chris Hyman is a man with a mission
The Telegraph, Andrew Cave | 12:01AM BST 31 Aug 2008

Chris Hyman, Serco’s chief executive has a zeal about his work that reflects his religious beliefs, finds Andrew Cave

Chris Hyman, the chief executive of Serco, is tired of being described as “evangelical”. “People have got carried away with that in the past and I don’t think that’s right,” he said.

It’s hard to resist the epithet, however. It’s not just that the 44-year-old is an Indian Pentecostal Christian from South Africa; he’s a man on a mission, or rather lots of missions.

Outsourcing is a tough, cost-crunching business and Serco runs everything from prisons to occupational health services, trains and contracts in education, science and defence in Britain and 29 other countries.

But ask Hyman about his business model and he speaks about one “that actually says we won’t just make profits but we will look at how people are treated”.

Talk to him about Serco’s staff and he pronounces that he loves to “go the extra mile to give a chance to people who might look like they have some potential”.

And get on to his charity work and he flames with passion. “Do you know that 42 per cent of surplus products at companies simply go to landfill?” he admonished, explaining that In Kind Direct, a charity of which he is chairman, redistributes new goods from retailers and manufacturers to hundreds of voluntary organisations. “It’s a wonderful way to redistribute things big companies don’t need.”

Hyman is also a director of charities Habitat for Humanity and Africa Foundation, and passionate about what he calls his “core values”. Then again, he’s passionate and value-driven, full stop.

Despite that, he’s trying to stay out of the limelight. For this interview, I was told that he would spend 75 per cent of the time talking about the business and the rest answering personal questions.

At least we started on track by discussing the record $423m acquisition of America’s SI International (SII) that Serco announced last week. The company is a provider of information services and outsourcing in the US, where the support services market is valued at $290bn a year and forecast to grow by between 5 per cent and 8 per cent per annum.

Serco’s annual turnover in the US is $700m, and it reported growth of 19 per cent in the first half of this year. SII will add $500m a year and contracts with the US Air Force, National Security Agency and Homeland Security Agency to existing deals with the US navy and army.

“The crucial thing in America is getting across these three tiers,” said Hyman, who has been described as combining “the zeal of Sir Cliff Richard with the determination of Lord Coe”. He added: “You’ve got to get past $1bn to be anyone serious and then the larger tier operations are $2bn and upwards. This will put us slap-bang in the middle. We can bid our way to becoming a tier one operator.”

Serco is not doing badly bidding its way up elsewhere, growing first-half profits by 21 per cent and revenues by 10.5 per cent. It employs 50,000 staff, of whom 85 per cent are former civil servants, and Hyman expects the downturn to bring more growth. “In these times, outsourcing does well,” he said. The reason, he added, is that governments are not able to raise more taxes to tackle problems such as crime and terrorism themselves.

Then he’s off into details, talking about Serco’s first strategic partnerships with civil authorities: a £265m contract with Glasgow city council, a £345m deal with Walsall council to manage education records, environmental contracts with councils in Hammersmith & Fulham and Milton Keynes, defence maintenance contracts with the Royal Navy, a £500m deal to run the Dubai Metro light rail system and a garrison support contract in Australia.

But don’t make the mistake of calling support services companies “the new conglomerates”. Hyman hates the phrase, saying it “conjures up hierarchical images”.

He is also obviously not keen on the controversy over off-balance-sheet financing that still dogs the sector, declaring that Serco’s structures are open, transparent and even “quite simple, really”.

Somehow you want to believe him, because for all the scepticism about cost-crunching outsourcers and opaque accounting, Hyman exudes an almost puritanical air. He donates a biblical tithe, says he doesn’t drink or swear and bounds out of bed each morning full of beans because he loves his job. Indeed, he sees managing people as Serco’s main strength.

“We understand how to take people in a large organisation in the public sector and move them into the private sector without any industrial setbacks,” he said. “How do you take care of those folk and make sure innovation and development of people continue? These are the issues ministers and people in large companies worry about when we take their people over.” It’s apparently about “understanding change management” and being “empathetic to the cause”.

Hyman grew up in Apartheid-era Durban, one of four children of a waiter and Pentecostalist. He became one of only a few non-whites to study accountancy at the University of Natal, trained as a chartered accountant with Arthur Andersen and came to Britain on an exchange programme with Ernst & Young, where he was spotted by a headhunter while on secondment at the CBI. “I gave him a challenge to find a company that was value-based and could prove to me that it did something exciting and involved people,” Hyman recalled.

The headhunter came up with Serco and Hyman became a project director at its European Space Agency business for literally a few days before he was offered the finance director’s job. That was in 1994 and six years ago he became chief executive.

Why has someone so competitive - Hyman battles hard with his son at go-karting and with his wife at tennis - stayed with one company for so long? “The headhunter said ‘We’ll plot your career, as one has to move every five years,’” he recalled. “I couldn’t have thought of anything worse. If I find a values place, if I find it has got growth, if I find I can make a difference in its leadership then I am happy to stay as long as shareholders and the board want me.”

He went on: “I come from an environment where we saw a lot of people without opportunities and a lot of people from deprived backgrounds. For me, that set the value to respect people who are giving everything they have got; to treat people the same. I have almost found the perfect company because those are Serco’s values.

“What drives me is that dreadful phrase of ‘making a real difference’ and at Serco I can see that. I know that when we went into Walsall, the children weren’t getting as well educated. The children didn’t have GCSE results as good as they are today.

“When we took over Docklands Light Railway, Mersey Rail and Northern Trains, the trains were nowhere near on time performance. It’s very tangible and there’s nothing better than waking up to a realisation that we changed some lives this week.”

Financial success is also important, and Hyman is proud that, since he joined, the company’s turnover has grown from £238m to £3bn. Additionally, its market capitalisation has risen from £700m to £2.1bn since he became chief executive.

The next focus, he said, might include “possibly something small in India”, which he visited for the first time only three years ago, although half his heritage is from the subcontinent.

He sees India as a market for support services starting to develop in its own right rather than as a service centre for Western companies, but believes that the domestic Chinese support services market will take much longer. Closer to home, Serco lost out on a bid to decommission the Sellafield nuclear site but the ever-optimistic Hyman said there remained opportunities to bid for Dounreay and smaller nuclear facilities.

What about his future? “The business I am running today might as well have another name on it,” he says, “as, other than the values piece, it doesn’t resemble the business of 10 years ago. I found my new challenges with the same name on it. It satisfies my competitive side by making life a challenge every day.”

SERCO: A Corporate Octopus With Tentacles Wrapped Around The Globe

How does one corporation — a mammoth British transnational corporation at that — provide so many critical services throughout the USA’s Military-Industrial Complex and yet very few have ever heard of them?

In view of its sheer size, scope of operations, and far-reaching penetration of both the American and British national security states, it’s inconceivable that SERCO has remained so conveniently under the radar for so many years.

Just how much “Bringing service to life” does SERCO do here in the United States? The following is a truncated list of their affiliations in and around the U.S. Federal Government and Armed Services. Their website is quoted as follows: “Skilled resources and a global presence to execute any CONUS or OCONUS* task”.

*OCONUS = Outside [the] contiguous United States

_________________________________________________________________________
It is only by correctly understanding the true role that the SERCOs of the world have in the running of the planet that anyone can even begin to apprehend the enormity and complexity, pervasiveness and profundity of the Government-Corporate Complex. Truly, the warnings of George Orwell’s 1984 have found their full manifestation in the real 800 pound gorilla that currently rules the realm — the entire planetary civilization. As follows: The Government-Corporate Complex Takes Complete Control Of The USA
_________________________________________________________________________

The SERCO website goes on to say:

“Serco is dedicated to providing military support in ways that matter most to our clients’ missions. The vast majority of our employees are embedded in military bases, working side-by-side with servicemen and women to deliver military support—real mission-critical and mission-support solutions.”

Now have a look at SERCO’s many ways of “Bringing service to life” throughout the USA.

SERCO: The Corporate Octopus Wrapped Around the U.S. National Security State

It is noteworthy that SERCO started off as a division of old RCA company. As flows:

Serco was founded in 1929 as RCA Services Limited, a United Kingdom division of the Radio Corporation of America and initially provided services to the cinema industry. It changed its name to Serco in 1987 and has been a London Stock Exchange listed company since 1988.
(Source: Serco)

So the 64 thousand dollar question is how, and most importantly why, a British Corporation controls so many critical functions within the United States of America, as well as within many other key Western nations around the world.

There is only one answer: Because SERCO is a foreign multinational corporation, it can do things at its headquarters in Hook, Hampshire, United Kingdom, that a U.S. company could simply not get away with.

The best illustration of this fact of the U.S. government–U.K. corporate cozy relationship is the BP Gulf oil spill. The excerpt below delineates the basic scheme that plays out across the planet 24/7, especially where plausible deniability or safe distance is needed for the U.S. Federal Government.

Well, not quite. You see, BP, as a foreign multi-national corporation, can do things in the process of exploration, drilling and extraction of oil that US-based companies can’t do. What and why, you may ask, would a foreign national corp (short for corpse) with a track record like BP’s be given so much latitude? How could they, of all oil giants, be the beneficiary of such permitting largesse, regulatory laxity and freedom of practice?

Well, first of all, they were permitted to drill at depths to which no one else could drill – legally – because of the mother lodes waiting at the tip of their humongous drill bits. In the instant case we’re talking at the very least 50 to 100 million barrels of oil. Also, by their convenient foreign corporate distance from the US Government, they were practically immune to various oversight regimes that are normally imposed on their US counterparts. Wink, wink (|) (|)
(Source: The BP Gulf Oil Spill: A Matter Of National Security?)

What the SERCO researcher should glean from this quite telling disclosure is that the U.S. Government reflexively outsources every single service or functions, dirty job or unsavory task that it needs to distance itself from. In the case of conducting extremely risky and outright dangerous oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico the globalists chose BP to do the dirty work. In that particular instance it had everything to do with liability — financial and legal. However, the primary reason for such an arms distance government-corporate relationship is the ‘necessary’ of buffer of plausible deniability.

SERCO is handed the job of serving a multitude of patently illegal contracts executed by the U.S. government. They routinely perform some of the most shady services within the most corrupt sectors of the national security state apparatus. Now the reader understands why they whitewash their corporate slogan/tagline “Bringing service to life”. They sure do — they bring services that nobody else will touch because of their inherent threat to life.

Whose life? Everybody and anybody involved with the SERCO ‘services’. Yes, what they really do is that perilous to people and dangerous to property. The link below provides some of the details to the convoluted but true back story of the highly mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 … and the direct involvement of SERCO.

How was SERCO involved with the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370?
Obamacare: A SERCO Contract that Controls the US Healthcare System

Obviously it was no accident of good fortune that SERCO was chosen to process Obamacare applications.[1] What, pray tell, is more important to control than the healthcare delivery system of any nation. When you control the healthcare services, you control the health of the citizens. When you control their health, you effectively control them. If you don’t believe this, then please read the flowing exposé.

Obamacare: The Hidden Agenda

With this hidden knowledge it is now much easier to understand why SERCO was the1-Obamacare-Serco recipient of a literal barrage of bad press right in the thick of the Obamacare rollout debacle. The headlines below are by purposeful design, not because SERCO screwed up. Did SERCO really do the things that have been reported in these articles? Maybe; maybe not. Probably they did, however, just to confer street cred to their reputation of corporate corruption and irresponsibility.

Assume that they really are responsible for these unparalleled fiascos and then you will comprehend the strategy which has been used all along to make the taxpayer think that SERCO is just another greedy, incompetent government contractor.

No, they are not.

This image has been carefully sculpted over decades to convince (deceive) the general public that they are too incompetent and irresponsible to perpetrate the countless black operations which they carry out on a regular basis. In fact, they have a very critical mission in the execution of some of the most highly consequential implementation plans having to do with everything from 9/11 to the Oklahoma City bombing, from FEMA to the Department of Homeland Security, from Obamacare to NSA surveillance and spying, from the Russian warplane shootdown to the Benghazi CIA gun-running operation, from the Syrian War to the arming of the Islamic State.

And these examples are only the least consequential; the others are so secret and highly classified that Hillary Clinton was forced to set up her own personal email and home server in order to privately communicate about the more [illegal, unlawful and illicit] serious business.

Yes, that’s precisely why she stonewalled the House Committee for years and was unwilling to turn over her emails … or even her server which was effectively the property of the State Department since it was used to conduct official government business. Whenever and wherever SERCO is involved with the affairs of government, you know that there is something very, VERY wrong going on.

Conclusion

In reality SERCO is just one of hundreds of government contractors many of which perform similar services. Just like the U.S. Armed Forces frequently outsource their security to firms comprised of prior military mercenaries, there are outsourcing companies for every service and product under the sun. Hence the revolving door between the government and corporate sectors is now moving faster after than ever.

The more politically sensitive and/or militarily dangerous any particular mission is, the more firms like SERCO are utilized to do the dirty work… real dirty work. Especially in cases like 9/11 and Sandy Hook, plausible deniability becomes the overriding factor. This is exactly why the U.S. Government gave BP total control over the BP Gulf oil spill crime scene. Not only were they a British multinational company headquartered in London, England, they could get away with criminal conduct that would have shut down an American company.

Final Point: Outsourcing the most repugnant and unlawful operations of government has been the primary way for keeping it off the front page for decades. However, even the extraordinary rendition programs post 9/11 can be exposed when the right whistleblower wanders into the wrong place at the wrong time (actually the right place at the right time).

Let’s face it, when government-sponsored abductions and the extrajudicial transfer of those abductees from one country to another are perpetrated in order to illegally torture those individuals, the Government-Corporate Complex that supports these blackops places itself in serious jeopardy. In this manner have the SERCOs of the world been put on notice.

Editor’s Note

It should be pointed out that controlling forces within the United Kingdom have quite deliberately infiltrated all the English-speaking countries of the world. They each perform a crucial function in the implementation of the New World Order agenda. They also play an integral role in artificially maintaining the fraudulent Global Economic & Financial System.
