Choice of direct or through agent - is direct always best?

Thats the risk with going direct. You need to get payment terms nailed down tight at the start and make sure to stay on top of them to get paid.

And it's much worse once you've left the building. All the people I'd worked with and considered work-friends refused to answer my emails or take my phone calls no doubt under instruction from the purchasing manager. For a company I quite liked and enjoyed working for it was all a bit unpleasant.
