    Thanks.
    Not worked there but been a few times and worked with them for a client that was doing a deal with them, what type of position? It's mostly Crapita there so not hard to shine!

    Of course, the money is good, but if its a long stint I'm far happier in a good working environment.

    Any other views out there?
    No idea! Never had a contract in Birmingham...
