Agora Business Publications LLP Arvostelua 

DONT GO NEAR THIS COMPANY!!
I had VA carry out some work for me last year, they apparently signed up to Agora Business Publications without my knowledge and now I’m receiving DEBT collection letters from them. They can’t even find the account that apparently registered to my company. Have a bill for £309.43 for what!!!

I thought I was receiving free information, I was totally unaware that if I signed up for their magazine that I was subscribing to anything.

Then I received an invoice for £80, when I emailed back and said I hadn't subscribed they said I had to pay £40 for the information I had already received.

I can see that I am not the only person who has been caught out by this, I don't doubt that they provide a good service but the method they use to obtain subscribers is appalling!

We went on a free website to look for a template or so we thought. All of a sudden we received umpteen emails which we put into spam folder as they did not make sense. We then received 2 x INV in the post claiming for multiple subscription fees £569.20. I emailed on the 24.04.23 and stated we did not or want any of their services. I also called and voiced my dismay. Now 19.07.23 we receive another 2 x INV for in post stating we owe them £129.80. What a SCAM. The reviews online say it all. I will not be paying any INV's as i have not agreed to pay for any items. Who reads small T&C when browsing a so called free website even for a trial. NOT HAPPY

I have been invoiced for a service I didn't sign up to... they have my e-mail address correct but I have never used their service or confirmed my e-mail so assume someone else signed up but Agora went ahead with subscription without confirmation of my e-mail address.

I use Agora if I want to double check my interpretation of employment law, they have always provided information quickly to give me peace of mind that I'm on the right track.

Excellent publications, professionally written but easy to read. Very informative and the index allows access to previous copies and topics that you wish to look up

Plenty of good information, current legislation, very reliable

The online resource centre is easy to navigate and provides clear concise information. In addition the email updates provide timely reference to current topics.

Being essentially self-employed, it is reassuring that you have a team of experts that you can approach for clarification or advice on any subject. This supports my business in being able to provide the best advice to my clients. The themed articles with supporting checklists provide a backup to the advice being given.

There is always useful up to date advice and examples. Great service and easy to navigate.

The team at Agora / HR Adviser have always been helpful and knowledgeable when contacted with any query. The team also reply in a timely manner.

Good information and regular updates keep me informed of any changes. lots of useful ideas and tips.

Disgusting service very rude
Called me a liar because my HR manager was unavailable and then threatened to give business a bad review 😂

Best to avoid 🥴

Downloaded an e-book and they've started sending me invoices and debt recovery letters. Get a grip & into the modern era with your marketing. You're trying to do inbound marketing (which is generally offers freemium content) and then signing people up to a paper based invoice subscription service. Either make your downloadable HVCO free or add card details so people know exactly what they are signing up to. Yes, it might be in your terms but what you are doing is not totally clear and comes across as fraudulent.

Fraudulent company - signing GP Practice's up without consent or a signed contract. Ask them to send me information as I was not willing to sign up over the phone. The next thing I know they have used the surgery email to sign us up without consent. They are now billing me for a service I have not used and am not even aware of!

Told them there is a problem and that we did not sign up, yet they have not frozen the account and are still billing me. Absolutely the worst company ever!!!!!

Terrible company. Signed up for a 'free' trial and didn't read the very small print. Suddenly received an invoice from them for £80. Spoke to them to explain that their sign yp process isn't clear and that I in fact hadn't realised that I signed up and hadn't accessed any of their materials. Was basically told tough tatties and forced to pay. I suppose holding people to ransom is one way of making money. Robbing bustards.

A useful training session. This was helpful in laying out the timeline for managing underperformance. It had some good tips and useful information. However
I felt it focused more on the disciplinary process than on ways to help managers improve performance.

Quick and professional response to any questions I have. Health and Safety Advisor booklets with guidance, and checklists, well presented, and always serve as a handy reminder.

Agora keeps you updated.

I've been using their mazagine and other products for years, as they look and keep on top of issues or problems with indepth knowledge and easy to understand techinical articlues to support you.

A niche health and safety publication that is very helpful in allowing the inexperienced or "rusty" practioner to produce positive results from the guidance within it is, I feel, a little expensive to the subscriber. However, there is no faulting the information it contains and the assistance contained in the resource centre or the assistance from the professional helpline that comes with the publication that can allow the reader / user to improve the policies and procedures for the work they are engaged in.
