Anyone noticed that adecco now owns spring, hydrogen (project people plus others ) computer people and a number of other agencies. Doesn't feel like this is a good thing for us. They'll no doubt level down and if one agency owns them all they'll be more able to screw us on rates!

You're assuming that these businesses will co-ordinate their actions. Let me tell you, working for a company which has about 10 different recruitment companies - that is NOT going to happen - In fact, there is more internal competition, than everyone else manages collectively.
If it was perfect, then you might be looking at a little rate pressure - but given that acquisitions often mean that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing."Being a permy is like being married, when there's no more sex on the cards....and she's got fat."
