My advice would be to get into the twin club anyway you can, and hope that your employer is forward thinking enough to give you the chance to progress (unlikely, I know, but they are around). We all know hours don't count, etc etc, but insurance companies do and they don't live in the real world. Neither do customers (or at least their advisers), if it comes to that. They demand ridiculous amounts of experience for quite elementary work in Canada as well, so our tactic, when we had a good guy with relatively few hours, was to get the customer up with him and defy them to make a complaint.
Don't forget that PIC time is not necessarily Captain, and if you can get them to do the poling turn and turn about, like DanAir used to do, and get the guy in the other seat to sign your logbook, that should help a lot.
Good luck
