The S3 annual report

[DodgyAgent]

No problem at all with making a profit - we all want to do that.

Just a question though: do you think an average gross margin of 23% is acceptable?

It clearly is

There are 4,719 contractors willing to work for them? I thought times were good.

So basically all the agencies I don't deal with.

In that case, yes I was just joshing.

It's OK, I believe you.

Also look for Computer Futures, Huxley, Progressive, Pathway and their ilk.

Yes it would!

Just do a search on here for S3 (sometimes referred to as 'XX' for legal reasons) and form your own opion. Far be it from me to try to influence you in any way...

[Sockpuppet]

You have to be kidding right?

OK, I am really stupid here but what is an "S3 agency".

It's got to be on anyones plan B.

Pimping contractors and/or cheap Indians on government approved visas.

Free mana from the gods.

Get 20 contractors on the go and you have enough income to live like a king and not do a days (honest) work in your life.

I once met somebody who used to do that. He had sponsored atleast a dozen indians for work permit and his income was about £30k/month.

Has been delayed from February to March.

However their preliminary results for the period ending 30/11/2006 include the following little tidbit:

Active contractors at period end increased by 8.1% to 4,719 (2005:4,365), with average gross profit per day rates increased by 11.1%

I seem to recall from their previous report that their contractor gross margin was about 21%. This suggests it is now about 23.3% gross. Easy money if you can get it...
