Looks like the thunder of this forum has been noticed. Site now says 85% retention.
300 days eh? I don't think I'd be a quality candidate for them; I can't seem to do more than 210 days on average (I know, I know, it's lazy..)

Oh and there is
locumbenefits.co.uk
0845 868 1308
execpay.co.uk
0845 868 1309
I like this one on their site..
All Taxes paid on your behalf
Keep 100% of your Income
How does that work?
They seem to spend more time setting up webpages and 0845 numbers than they do being an employer....

Anyone else find anything?
Searching LinkedIn for Simon Powell Isle of Man gets no hits but googling it gives us quite a few references to 78Media.com
However...
Digging into the code of the website reveals a few things.
It was built with a drag and drop DIY web tool built by the Smarter Web Company.
<!-- WEBSITE CREATED AND HOSTED USING DRAG AND DROP DESIGNER -->
<!-- DEVELOPED BY THE SMARTER WEB COMPANY LIMITED -->
<!--CONTACT Web Design | Web Designer | Website Design | Cheap Web Design FOR MORE INFORMATION-->
That company is The Bedouin Group, who have previous on here for a variety of offshore/EBT related schemes.

http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view...SkuR&trk=pbmap
Reading through his profile shows lots of IoM links ( and highlights how crap the search function on LinkedIn is). It also links him to 78Media.com and lots of contractor related entrepreneurial web shenanigans.
So I'm guessing from the limited info available that this is the right guy.Last edited by DaveB; 6 December 2012, 12:04.
