    Westbourne Partners - London Finance - Beware

    These guys are total jokers - They will send you for interviews and cut the rate last minute.

    I would stay well away from them

    PM me if you want more details

    Too bad to hear that, but that's just the way some people do business and I wouldn't necessarily blame the agency for the rate cut either....

    Good luck with the job hunting.
    Free advice and opinions - refunds are available if you are not 100% satisfied.

      Yup more likely the bank I think. If you don't already have a contract think carefully before turning it down, looks like the reason for the unexpected cut is the market is going sour.
      I'm alright Jack

        And this is new how? All agents do it or have tried it at some point.

        Sorry to be harsh but judging by some of your previous posts your reputation isn't exactly one to be taking advice from right at the moment...

        Post some interesting stuff, show us you have a grasp of contracting, accounting etc then add value to the board.

              Ive got to agree with the Big Fella (aka Northern Lad) on this one.

              All your posts seem to be about being fearful of being audited and being ripped off by someone or the other.

              Seems to me youre someone who sails close to the wind and sometimes you get burnt. You also sound like someone who moans a lot. Youre not exactly representative of us Aussies.

                I've got good business contacts with Westbourne - send me £100 and I can definitely fix it for you.
