    ONly contract jobs I've ever seen or heard of have been with NU. Other than that Norwich is in the arse end of nowhere.

      AVOID - It's not safe.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          Norwich is a great place to live. NU is an interesting company - they regularly shed thousands of permie jobs as well as a regular contractor culls. I know of people who have been the victims of the culls and have had their contracts terminated on the Friday only to receive calls on the Monday to come back.

          Remember the golden rule: there are only two big employers in Norfolk - NU and Bernard Matthews. If you lose your NU gig you have to look outside of Norfolk - unless plucking turkeys is something you enjoy.

              If you lived somewhere like Thetford then you are about an hour from
              Norwich
              Colchester
              Ipswich
              Kings Lynn
              Cambridge

              Which gives you the inbreeding of Norfolk combined with a few different places to find work.
