Accommodation

[contractor888]

Hi there,

Having recently accepted a contract for a leading insurer based in York, I am in desperate need to find suitable accommodation in the area, probably a guest house or hotel.

Anyone got any ideas?

NU have some special places for contractors.

"special places" eh?

Normally in the basement somewhere.

(Bitter ex-NU permie...)

Wonder how many people here have worked for NU

As far as I remember they even had a very good rate with the marriot.. also in York there are a few serviced or short let flats quite a few around the river with really nice views, look on the web.

Troll: Norwich or York?? I did both

I thought Norwich Union was one of the 1st big UK companies to outsource 100% of their IT work to India (they made a big song and dance about it, slating UK IT staff as useless and boasting how great it all was all over the press) and fired all their UK staff.

Did it not turn out to be Utopia for them then?



Shame.

Personally I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, not for £1K a day.

Never say never.
Like all good contractors we seize the opportunities - India fecks up, we clean up...and the rates were very very attractive... and fond memories of the stay in Norwich= nice city just stuck in the middle of nowhere
