Then get of your behind and do some face to face networking.
In the meantime get on with that DIY project/ exercise regime/thing you wanted to learn/whatever you couldn't do while in your contract."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I suspect you've had a contract to be a tester for the consultancy. They've then moved you on to whatever clients they deem fit which is clear D&C.... and for 5 - 6 years? That's a proper nightmare IR35 situation if I've seen one. Sounds much more like employment than a short term gig and there is part and parcel on top of all that.
Not the best situation by a long stretch.
I could be completely wrong and you've got it detailed to the n'th degree but looking at this thread I doubt it.Last edited by northernladuk; 3 July 2017, 19:33.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

That should have been detailed in your schedule to deliver x services for Y client of consultancy and then you are done. At the very least you should have had a new schedule of work detailing each piece of work.

Originally posted by Darren_Test View PostOhh.. just to be clear I didn't bonded to them for 5 continuous years. When ever i finished a role moved on and took roles with other agencies, gone back and forth. I didn't work more than 1.5 years continuously with them. In my CV all roles are shown separately with client name.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
