Calls from dissolved agencies?

[Andy Hallett]

I only credit check when I need to. I doubt S3 has a problem paying the bill. I think they are slightly more scared I name check Andy Hallett when I hassle them

Glad to be of service.

I did the same when I was negotiating a rate. I wanted £50 a day more and I told them I would get Andy involved if they didn't agree. The lady laughed, knocked my rate down by another £20 from the original offer and told me to take it or leave it

Wouldn't do it as part of a rate negotiation. If you have a problem or contract issue the name will get the issue escalated to someone who can sort it...

Small specialist agencies that have been in business a long time are usually fine, although if their business address are serviced offices or their home start to dig a lot deeper before you sign anything

Hasn't happened so far in last 7 yrs. And don't think it happens too often with MNC's and PSU's.

Yes, make sure that the agency isn't dodgy BEFORE you start working on the contract.

The insurances make it a no brainer, agree they're pretty useless at their primary goal, IPSE, should have been called WOOPSY!

How about trying to manage your risk / exposure, like any other business.
No one is too big to fail, remember Enron?
