Hi Mike Contact Prospectus - they're a recruitment house specialising in the Pick / Universe / jBase etc world in London - you'll have to look up the phone number as I can't remember it, but they're in Popes Lane possibly Ealing.
The owner's name is Elkie Holland - just tell her Dennis Bartlett said she's able to find anyone a great job. She works both UK and Australia, so the world's your oyster. London may be expensive, but do yourself a favour and be careful about anywhere north of Milton Keyne - it's really drab out there, except Edinburgh is quite fun :-) Best of it Dennis On 2009-01-31, Mike Preece <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi Group, > > I came back to the UK in Dec 06 to work for Temenos as a Lead > Technical Architect.
