Which Newport? Telford, Wales or IOW ?

They did some development for HBoS a few years back. Typical BobCo. Ten times as many peeps on the project as you should need, everything late etc.

HCL? - BobCo...

Posted before about a potential role in Stockholm, rate a bit marginal, now they've come back and rate is more palatable. Still unlikely I'll go for it, but it's a good back burner, negotiation point come extension time in a month, if offered. If not, I'm off to Sverige!

Anyway, it's for an outsourcer, HCL, formerly Hindustan Computing Ltd, pimp says they are the biggest this, biggest that etc. Never heard of them. Googling reveals they do seem quite big tho, but not a BobCo I've heard the good people here slag off, anyone any experience?
