Quality idea.

PZZ ...... I'm not familiar with some of those small/non-IT names in the link but an interesting site.

This is not illegal to show this information and is no way defamation. It's in the public domain, but would require someone to cross reference it.

Agencies that have gone bust

Maybe this belongs in General. Have been discussing the risks of this business with a contracting friend (competitor ?).

Anyone know the names of any 'big'/well-known agencies that have bit the bullet in the last 10 years or so ?

I remember a few casess but not any names. A pal lost 40K a few years ago when one UK shop closed [immediately re-opened again under another guise but same scumbags.]

Thanks.
