HBOS Anyone ?

[Archangel]

Any of you gigged here ?

If so, what's the culture like ?

In the past I've worked at HBOS - Pudsey, Copley and Leeds (when it was Leeds Perm)

left Copley a couple of years ago now.

I worked 7-3 mon-thu and 7-12 fri at all the sites
Lots do 9 day fortnights, 4 day weeks, very flexible.

is it through Hay's ? have you had Bauer & Cottrell get the IR35 changes made?

Sounds reasonable.

No, not through Hays

Were you on hourly or daily rates ?

I sort of remember this magnificent country hotel… just about 10 minutes drive, but can’t recall the name !! Had the best food menu ever.

That sounds like the place on Crag Vale, near Mytholmroyd.

Usual large corporate nonsense, mixed with a "I've been here for twenty years, so I know best" attitude from most of the managent.

Cheers, that's pretty much what I expected

[Dow Jones]

Oh – I remember the collapse of Prudential, .

Are you on drugs? Or you talking out of your burqa again? Or are you referring to Equitable Life perhaps?
I'm surprised you've ever set foot, let alone worked for any financial company. Then again, maybe your boss was a Muslim and you fancied each other.

Oddly enough, I was in Dean Clough when the IF stuff was being fixed by the ecommerce team

Oh, Dean Clough is a place, a locale. I assumed Sandy Down had let slip his, oops sorry, her real name

No, What that SD bloke said was that he was in Dean Clough (whoever that is) at the time. Not that he was DC.

If you want to work in the City - try JM Contracts. They had a lock on almost everybody going into the treasury operation in London.
