Thanks

I can't wait for the 2nd post to be approved.

Define "working".

As opposed to just billing.

about 65
Biggest company is Spacecadet Data Limited, this was achieved by supplementing the IT contracting with a few key middle east arms deals (Dave and Andy flew over with me to help get the deal)

ok, serious answer.

I've done a quick head count in my office and so far I reckon there's one.

This figure will change by +/-1 when Mrs PL gets home from the supermarket depending on whether I have to help her with the shopping or if she falls for me 'looking busy'

It is mandatory for all UK IT contractors to sign up to this website so, based on posting history, there are currently 3 IT contractors in the UK.

Please note, however, 2 of those 3 are what are called 'sockies'.

As for companies, the 5 biggest are Ladbrokes, Lidl, Cash Convertors, Bauer Media (publisher of Heat magazine) and 99p stores.

HTH.

I don't think there are any real UK contractors left. The ones that post on here pretending to still be working are paid to do so by the Indian software offshore industry.
