    Hi everyone

    Had a bad experience with Atos or worried about the care you'll receive from BUPA?

    How much do you know about the private sector companies who are benefiting from the Tories dastardly plan to dismantle our public services?

    The next issue of Ethical Consumer will run a feature on the companies set to profit most from privatisation.

    We know there's lots of dirt on these companies so we want to enlist you to help build up an accurate picture of those involved.

    Post your comments, stories and sources about the companies below and we'll use it build a comprehensive guide to the top contractors.

    Serco
    Balfour Beatty
    ISS
    Capita
    Atos
    A4E
    Veolia
    IBM
    KPMG
    McKinsey
    United Health
    vodaphone
    G4S
    Sodexo
    Ferrovial / Amey
    Cirle
    Alliance medical
    netcare
    Bupa
    BPP

    Looking forward to hearing from people. Thanks for your input

    My personal experience fo Vodafone (not the misspelling in the list above) has been very encouraging - their Foundation provides funds to many charities around the UK - some proof in my eyes that they prefer the charities to get on with the work rather than attempt to do it themselves. I'm afraid I don't have experience of their approach to public sector contracts, but thought this deserved a mention.
