6 month extension confirmed and rate increase received - WITHOUT asking.
Doesn't ring true.
That confirms you're a wind up merchant/sockie troll, there's no way an Agent would offer a rate hike without at least a prompt and I can't see a client increasing the budget without a good reason.
Not a sockie - client really happy and they spoke to me directly, negating the agent. I have helped them out above the call of duty - saved them a quite few quid. I also got an Xmas bonus which I thought was odd...
