Contracting in Sheffield

[AndreaLEvans]

I'm looking to move to Sheffield, is anyone aware of Contracting agencies in Sheffield who work for Financial Institutions in the area?

I can't think of a single agency that is location dependent, all of the agencies that I've contacted and contracted through have been national or at the least had customers based all over the UK.

I contracted in Sheffield - it's a hell hole but West Street is nice of an evening with the students and their short skirts!! And the women are nice too....

I reckon the OP may be a lady.

Did a short stint in Sheffield some time back but it came from a London agency. Your best bet will be to use Jobserve, set Sheffield location and set Finance industry.

Sheffield City Centre = concrete, tile shops and FiftyPenceWorld....

Highly unlikely you'll find much in Sheffield, its just not that sort of place. Think inbred chavs, old bag women and immigrants. You dont need many contractors in a socialist paradise. Consider Leeds and Manchester is my advice.

P.S. I was born and raised in Sheffield and most of my family still live there, so I know what Im talking about.

If you are moving to Sheffield, then you have within an hours commute West Yorkshire, Manchester as well as some of the East Midlands such as Nottingham and Derby. You should be able to find something within that area if not in Sheffield itself.

I did a 1 year gig in Sheffield and enjoyed it.

Good luck

No offence BAttS, but I think that's stretching a bit unless you have warp drive. Realistically it's an hour to Leeds, M1/M62 is stop start at rush hour and it's two to Manchester unless you chance Woodhead and prey no dawdlers or HGV's cos you ain't gonna pass...

Despite the fact that Stek has used one of the dreaded U instead of you in an earlier post he's correct.

To get to Sheffield from Halifax takes a minimum of 1.5 hours at rush-hour due to the massive traffic on the M62 and M1. It can take a good hour to get to Leeds from here a grand total of 16 miles. Sheffield can be a real pig to get into and out of as well.

Sheffield to Leeds is actually quicker and cheaper by train if you go for a season ticket.

Traffic into Leeds is a Nightmare and parking is expensive as well.
