Default Contractors working in Shropshire

Hi,

I have a LTD Co and would like to meet support contractors in Shropshire. The reason for this is substation. Its for a support contract so the rates won't be that good, but I was to get hit by a bus I'd have somewhere to go.

How do others deal with this? I live in the sticks and the only IT people I know are permies which I might be able to do a short term deal with but I'm somewhat restricted. I could get a sub from an agency I suppose.

Comments welcome.

Please clarify. Are you looking for IT workers, tube workers or electrical engineers?

Was there, then Cap Gemini now Shropshire Housing. Wasn't thinking about one contract specifically, just looking to the future. There is a fair few security contracts around here which pay well too. Might have to train up /me thinks.
