I'm moving on, their service is so shockingly poor now that I've asked them to prepare accounts for moving. I've been with them for 15 years and to be fair they've been good. But this year or so has been a disaster.
Getting fine after fine for missed deadlines. And it seems it's all my fault...
Thanks for the replies I'll take a look.
After yet another c0ck up today and them threatening me with termination of my account, how I laughed, I've decided to move on. I've got two companies through them so their loss.
Don't know how a company can go down hill so quickly.

Been using them for about 12 years, but this year has been woeful. Late on vat, constant emails chasing me for stuff I've done months ago, and now left me with a fine. Had enough.
Haven't really been looking on here for quite a while but what's the current favourite?

I've got 3, never had a problem.
Anyway I have one website where I'm "trading as" because it doesn't earn enough money to warrant another company and I just wanted to use company money to see if it's viable. Just make sure you put "is a trading name of" on everything, ie invoices, website...
I would put a line in CV stating such and take any old contract that is going to get you started. Even if the rate is pants. Once you're back working it's easier to command a decent rate.
I do both SQL Server and Netezza. Quite frankly there's far more SQL Server roles around for obvious reasons, so I don't really see why you need to move on? That market is expanding.
Not necessarily that obvious. I worked for an airline when the last big dip in oil prices hit. They however had forecast that oil prices would continue to rise and bought two years worth of fuel in advance. At the worst point they were paying 200% more than “current” values.
