    I was on £400 day as a storage monkey at Tankersley ten years ago. No idea about these days, but that was decent money as far as I was concerned.

            That was as a Programme Manager. After I started at my current client I got a call from my HSBC agent - Senior Project Manager: £690.

              During my divorce I felt that Duncan Lawrie were the most professional and kindest people on my side. It meant a lot to me. The work you have done, and are doing, is correct and clear. I want you to know that I am hugely grateful for your help so far.
