Yes, they've been excellent throughout. I've had a real nightmare with HaysIT delaying payments and Giant have been consistently good throughout, arranging forwards and waving additional fees whenever possible.Last edited by thequ1ck; 20 April 2006, 15:03.Comment

I'm currently going through some grief with them, but they're usually pretty good. I'm working directly for the end client, rather than using an agency, and I think it's there that the problem lies - neither Giant nor the client quite understand how things work for each other, and as a result I'm typically paid two or three weeks late.Comment

The more i read stories like this, the happier i am about all the influence i got from this forum to start my own Ltd. Do the same all of you, maybe a bit of paperwork in the beggining BUT YOUR money comes to you and not to somebody else that will then pay you , in his own time...
And about the paperwork, it is not big deal at all after the first month, i only spend a couple of hours per month, maximumLast edited by malandri; 23 April 2006, 21:20.Comment
