Recruitment companies please note. We have a preferred list of recruitment companies that we work with. At the moment we're very happy with them. Which means sorry, no agencies.

Just to add - i had some dealings with Avvio in the past - the location of the office is fantastic and they were a great bunch of people to work with.

If I had the skills I would be applying for this job.

Sounds lke a lovely gig for the right person.

It does sound interesting. I don't live in the UK anymore though, and I don't know Flash Lite. How much does a gig like that pay in the UK, roughly?

Do they use offsite freelancers at all?

Hey Mr Technomancer hows things with you? Life treating you well I hope.

Mr DontBogartMe, the salary will depend on experience and skills, but it will be very competitive. I know that is not much of a response but thats all I can tell you right now.

With regard to freelancers we do use some offsite, but I prefer them to come in a work atleast for the first few days.

I am assuming this is in London somewhere?

Looks like a pretty sweet role. I'd apply except I don't live in London and I don't think my skills are up to it anyway.

Good Luck!

Just outside London between Reading and Maidenhead, but still commutable from London. A lovely barn conversion in the country side. Check it out on Google maps here

wow, what a neat idea.

Changed countries? That sounds good where are you now, is it hot and sunny?

Parenthood is cool, we have 2 now 1 an 1/2 and 3 an 1/2. How about you, how many do you have now?

Moved to the south west France - the Gers. Better weather, food, wine, health, education etc. etc.

We have 2 - 2 year old and 10 months, one of each flavour.

Nice area, my wifes family live near Bordeaux so i know that area pretty well.

The wine there is great...

...and all the other stuff of course.

How are you finding the work situation over there? It was pretty poor for designers when i left Paris, is it getting better now??
