Back in 2001 when the market was tulip (and I mean tulip!) I couldnt find my next contract. After 7 months or so I started contacting agents and telling them I was looking for an agency to positively sell me and my skills in the (then) challenging market.
A guy with Recruitment Zone in Edinburgh contacted me and said he liked my approach. sure enough within a month he'd got me a contract In Newcastle. Cant remember his name although he's probably long left RZ.
They didnt pay the best rates and had a weird payment cycle. At the end of the month when you submitted your invoice, they didnt pay until 3 weeks later!
Other than that, no problems.

Likewise - also dealt with Matt in Bolton.
Were fine. Paid on time, IR35 friendly and even negotiated on rate.

Dealt with a guy called Matt in Bolton.
No major issues and when there were minor payment problems one week they sorted it pretty quickly.
