RE : Rates, PP tried to squeeze 20% off everyone a couple of months ago, most like me negotiated a middle ground for longer rolling term contracts. Those that didn't and dug there heels in, are now gone.........

Haha. Same here. Initially declined but then fairly soon after realised that they actually meant it! Middle ground achieved, longer contract and a job in an uncertain market. Can't grumble!

Been paying slightly slower since Christmas though I've noticed. Used to be days is now weeks.

Very true, used to invoice on last day of month before 9am, and then funds would clear same day via chaps about 4pm ish.
Now invoice last day of month and funds usually clear within 10 working days, which to be fair is still acceptable for me. Beleive they had certain credit lines pulled so had to change payment terms.
I always try and keep a very good relationship with the accounts payable teams, a thank you for prompt payment e-mail and the odd box of chocolates goes a long way with them

PP have had their rates squeezed and been paying late.

I think a lot of this is to do with the client. IMHO not the geatest telecoms company I've come across.

Or me as I'm on that one too at present

As for PP, been with them for 6 months on this gig and a good 18 months on a previous gig ( Voda ECN ). Happy to report they always pay on time and last years xmas party in Maidenhead was a corker with PP totty everywhere

Sounds like I wont have any worries dealing with PP should I get the gig. If I do get it, I will let you know.

I have had close contact with them and their competitor on the same project. A wild stab in darb would suggest you will be working for Ericsson on the T-mobile/3 network sharing project????

If you want any more info from someone on that gig, pm me.

I've been working with them for some time and everything has gone pretty well. Can't think of anything to complain about from my own experience.

Has anyone had a contract through Project People? If so, what are they like?

I may have landed a new contract through them so was interested to know what they were like whilst in contract. In terms of recruiting they seem to be much the same as anyone else...!!

TIA

I worked for them in 2001, had good service and no issues with pay etc.
