I'm just about to start work as company pilot (sounds rather grand after student pilot) with an aerial photography business. Lots of chugging about at lowish altitudes (all legal - honest) in steep turns, with the work taking us all over the UK and Eire.
Minimum requirement was advertised as CPL/IR, but the boss isn't too worried about the IR as the work is all VFR (needs good light for the photos you see - artists!). Happy to take me on with 200hrs ish. No additional ratings or expense required, just turn up, go flying and pick up pay packet every month.
I have heard a similar company in the SE is currently missing a pilot who left for Cathay Pacific, but don't know the name I'm afraid.
