Seconded,
I have to say Kate Cottrell at Bauer & Cottrell is one of the most helpful, hardworking people I deal with. Never had a bad service from them, in fact 100% the opposite, highly recommended.
Chef
p.s no, I have no personal interest in B&C I simply believe a good recommendation is highly valued and my above opinion is based on the excellent service I've received from B&C over the years.

I love B&C
Sent a contract to get reviewed by them - Kate did it. The agency who I expected to put up a fight folded faster than superman on laundry day.
Surprisingly in the process I also found out that...
The agency were willing to take me on as a sole trader. They had no idea they could get stung for the tax
The words opt in / opt out meant nothing to them

They still referred to HMRC as "the inland revenue" in the contract

So all in all a good service (again) from B&C. I suspect now the agency are doing a lot of reading to find out how they should be working, they are only small (had 3 employees 2 years ago - now on 8) but guys...these are the basics.Tags: None
