              To be fair, as they expand in Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia it could be said that they are onshoring the jobs.

              They are still recruiting higher end contractors as Project / Programme Managers and have just brought a load of work back in-house from one of our favourite consultancies.

              Also, they are currently on the acquisition trail so lots of potential for integration work.

              Apologies if this post isn't up to my usual standards of cynicism.
