I landed this job in Feb 2007
Worked my notice period, successful references taken up etc..was fairly positive and as helpful as possible and then on the very day due to start... job offer was withdrawn without any explanation
Salary was around 82K plus car and usual benefits (LOL, death in service.etc) had a very strong impression that the principal "micro-managed" and interfered with the entire operation from start to finish
On reflection - and on reading the posts above - I was lucky not to get involved with this operation.... this is not an outfit that would appear to have any honour or respectability about it - go into it with your eyes wide open.
SLUDGEPUMPIN - thanks for the PM.... info' was enlightening
Cheers
