    Just signed a contract with them, and have to say they have been excellent throughout. The contract looked pretty good to me, and passed the contract review with Qdos, who did suggest some amendments. I took those amendments to HN, along with one or two others I wanted changed and they've agreed to all amendments within 24 hours and sent me an updated version of the contract.

    Good RoS clause in there, and other terms such as the handcuff clause limited to 6 months after contract expiry were pretty reasonable comparatively as well.

    I did ask them to remove a couple of Clauses, such as the requirement to comply with relevant Clauses of their contract with the client (they agreed to remove and confirmed that the agreement I was signing was fully back to backed with their agreement with the client), and a clause which said I was entitled to payment if the contract was cancelled (I only get paid for time/work, so don't want to be offered payment just because the client has terminated the contract), and there were no problems at all.

    Have to say, I'm fully impressed with my dealings with them so far.

      I have always found them good at most things, although their knowledge of the AWR is pitiful.

          My last contract was with them.
          In general not very good
          They did not response to email or phone calls when I had a question
          They refused to send self bill copies for my administration
          They never got my address right
          They "lost" my bankdetails so it took 2 months before my first payment came through (In the end I threatened I would abandon my contract immediately if they wouldn't pay
          Read the small print very well if you give notice before the contract ends, you might be eligible to pay HN the profit they miss out on for the remaining duration of the contract
