    Do YOU work here?

    Do you work at Hanslope Park, Milton Keynes?

    If so how is it, what is the environment like?

    Is that the FCO? Think I was there once a long time ago.

      It is. The only way to get there from MKC Station is a taxi ride through b-roads!

        I was thinking of starting a website based on what workplaces are like (building, people, facilities) as it could save nasty surprises later on.

        Has this already been done?

            Don't think so but an excellent idea.

                Its easily been 10+ years since I was in there, so my opinion on whats its like is very likely worthless. Just wanted to check I had the right place, I saw the name and a faint bell went off in the back of my mind.

                  Had an interview with them a couple of months back. Very isolated. Taxi fare into FCO cost me about £16 and their preferred Taxi provider fare cost me £8. I can't remember the name of the preferred Taxi firm off hand, but if you ask the agency to find out, I'm sure they will give you the details. I would probably recommend driving up to Hanslope Park, if you can.

                  Word of warning, you may have to go through DV clearance to get the job, if you don't already know. Also, you will have to put your Mobile phone in one of those pesky locker things.
                  If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

                    I worked there for 3+ years for the FCO and it was a great contract - that was around 8 years ago.

                    The work was interesting, the people friendly, the canteen was ok :-).
                    I'd work there again anytime.
