If you want to place foreign IT workers in the UK there are companies who will take them on as permies but their English has to be decent.

Sorry SueEllen. I missed your question. English is advanced to fluent. I do have Eastern Europeans with Java, .net, QA Cyber security who speak good English.

What a helpful little lot you are. I ask a question about which skills are needed and maybe where and instead I get a run down of French IT workers and Brexit and just about anything else anyone cares to want to dip in with!

French rates are usually considerably lower than UK ones, so you should be able to undercut them. Of course, should Brexit happen, you won't be able to do anything with them.

It's also a case of you get what you pay for. Working with 2 different French consultancies in the past 1 UK permie was usually as effective as 2 Frenchies....

To provide equivalent work I used to waste all week and code from 3-5pm on a Friday....
