Thanks for any help

No way are you inside IR35 on what you have described here. You can stay there as long as you like but bear in mind the two year rule for claiming travelling expenses (your accountant can fill you in on this or a quick search of these forums will give you plenty of info).

Your Ltd can do what it likes as regards hiring in help. Employees are a right pain in the ass though. The ideal would be another contractor working through his/her own Ltd. Failing that a sole trader, yes, but under certain circumstances you can end up liable for their tax if they don't pay it.
