Once you hit central London however I think it ends up being very hard to get decent people who will stay any length of time. In many ways its the same issues we all have when thinking about taking a job there. Is the extra £100 a day worth the hassle of getting there and back again.
And as you say its development. There is no way that all 13 people need to be on site developing a project. While I don't think there is sensible reason in the world for work to be offshored you could easily onshore that work to the north save yourselves £150,000 a year and be guaranteed that there were not 500 other opportunities trying to steal your star developer.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
