    I'm not drawing up a list of companies / businesses I don't have experience in, but I am interested in, or need to get exposure to, to help Plan B.

      Sounds like you will get on just fine .

      So, you are going for a village idiots role, on a low rate, where you will be bobbing up and down on that corporate pole like a good'un.

        There are a number of data related businesses I am interested, with the premise to offer services directly to corporate clients, or something around my favourite area of retail & distribution. I'm in no great rush to do anything, but don't fancy choking down the corporate pole, so a little light / short-term contracting is OK with me for now, while I work out how to make my next million quickly.

          Ah, so trying to ascertain things you can offer them better, from observations gained from contracting within that particular business?
          Certainly, by all means, not an original idea, but a good way to ascertain gaps in your chosen markets.

          Anyway, we work in similar fields, BI, data, BA etc. so if you need a true specialist to help you in the future

            Did you take the client list from your permie role? You could phone round them and offer to fix the problems.

              Was that trouble with the burgers, baps, fries, or the coleslaw?

                  That would be stealing. You don't do that do you?

                    I found the first million to be the hardest.

                    My ex-wife, on the other hand, found that the easiest one.
