    Bleeding punters

    I am currently working on a deal for a new gambling platform among other things.
    Investor and long standing client wants me to do further marketing for the dev team amongst other stuff and CEO starts playing up.

    Dev team should be so far out of IR35 its unbelievable etc. No problem.

    Anyway contracts to me these days are things for catering or involve blue toilet flush. Its an accepted thing amongst customers and the markets

    I have a freelance sector for all things dev like or IT contractor like everything goes through there and it works. I can market for a dev team and get the people to take the project fairly easily. Its certainly easier than finding an investor for £10 Mil! . My Investor is as happy as he always is as a long standing client - whats £ a few million between mates!

    Gambling platform CEO starts kicking off. "I'm not having these developers listed as freelance or lumped in with catering or blue toilet flush. You (he means me!) will have to come up with something!"

    So my Wednesday afternoon project is to rebrand IT contractors for the sake of about 6 adverts that will probably never need to be used! -

    Deep joy!!!!!!
