Support Contractor Wanted Urgently!

This is the market rate, someone will do ok out of that. Easy to sneer when you are in a higher paying role but if you are earning 20k doing this permie then 800 a week will look great !

If you work in Hull, does that mean being near John Prescott?

[oraclesmith]

Hull is the last place you'd find John Prescott nowadays.

Not wrong there fella!!!, the lad of the inbred chavs is Hull, currently on a gig in this god forsaken place, alot more than £18-20 a hour though so that takes the pain away!!

Sure the blokes name isn't Richard Turpin? Pay that rate and he will get monkeys!.

It isn't the market rate for a good contractor. OK as long as the OP knows that and isn't looking for one such.

I couldn't put it better than this site about electricians:

So what's a reasonable hourly rate? Good electricians don't come cheap: its a skilled trade and its well known that there is a shortage of qualified people. But, as a rough guide, we think the following prices are fair. For small jobs of up to 10 hours work, reckon on an hourly rate of £50-£65 during normal working hours, rising to £70-£85 evenings and weekends. These rates will exclude VAT.

If you want an electrician, and you have neither legal requirements nor any concern yourself for the quality and safety of his work, nor a wish to check his training, knowledge, and experience, then you could advertise for a sparks at £18-20 per hour, and you'd get takers. But not the ones you would want. IT contractors likewise.

That, or he is smart enough to know not to post a company email addy on a public forum and offer up their mail server for a good buggering.

Let Yahoo handle the resulting spam and can the addy once you have the the results you were after.

Any bets on which it is?
