Agents come to mind. I used to have company names on profiles but after the typical agent bollocks about knowing so and so who worked there, I took them off. In fact I recall doing a contract and the main switchboard contacted me stating there was a Mr. Slimy Toad trying to get a hold of me urgently and could I ring him back on this number (this was in Germany and the number was a UK one) and when I did it was an agent who had pulled the information from a profile with company name on and decided to try his luck and actually lied to say he was a software supplier to the client.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -

When talking about past clients, especially those that have been taken over or merger do you mention the the name they were or the name they are now?
For example I worked with CSC, do I say CSC or now DXC?
