This very subject came up last night at our exchange xmas drinks. One of my fellow controllers was telling me that her old man (ex mil) now works at Cott for a contractor to BAE and he has become a one man Ltd company. She is listed as the company secretary. Apparently even after all the fees he is saving £100 a week and most of the civvy contractors at Cott are doing the same. Thats a lot of cash to their relatively low salary and also means they can right off lots of items such as laptops, phone bills etc to the company. It certainly got me thinking about wether "Grommit Ltd" was allowed!
