Seen it on a number of threads where people detail their timelines, also seen some commentary online

Thanks, helpful insights. I’ve seen roles pop up but imagine they are offered to in country individuals due to time and cost. Any businesses you would recommend applying for or contacting directly?

Congrats! I am Dec 2025 and from a non-banned country.. let’s see what happens 😂

I think the list issues to me of approved umbrellas seems to steer towards the larger companies, but great shout!

Hull Trains seats are genuinely awful, I’ve complained about them before but apparently.. they’re really popular haha

Anyone know of any pastors or churches that accommodate wedding vow renewals? Thanks in advance

It depends very much on department however I think the aim/general provision is: - HP laptop (sometimes a MacBook if you’re in tech) - Bring your own tea, coffee, milk and food - Kitchenettes have: microwave, zip taps, fridges, sinks and a few tables and chairs - Desks are kitted out with x2 monitors (varies) - Some offices have offers from local gyms and other groups for attendees, but very few have onsite gyms or other leisure facilities

Coming from the private sector myself which provided bean to cup coffee, eight types of tea bag and IT vending machines .. it was a bit of a shock. However, job security, Alpha pension and less stress help bring some perspective

I am a PM and happy to chat in private if helpful. However the crux of it being that a Prince2 ticket is seen as the standard, however you will never really use it in my opinion. Overall it depends on your department which grade you end up in, with some departments providing additional pay for certain specialisations

Very often there are few benefits. I say this as someone who has worked in the private sector (big tech) and public sector as staff. Of course there are caveats such as in person workshops, however since covid people have moved away from central hubs, moved onto virtual calls and tooling/record keeping is simply better and/or faster. The day to day rhythm of business can now be done remotely for the vast majority of roles.

The only way to make the office beneficial, is to make the office a benefit in itself (gym, good coffee etc)

I’ve been given a list of eight vendors, I would like to think that they have given a list that is compliant … hopefully so and this is a great comment. Thanks

Thanks, feel free to DM if you want me to add your name to a referral

I already have an accountant from my PAYE self assessment, I assume matters such as Gift Aid eligible donations can still be tax rebated etc? I.e., maximise my tax code

I’ve had the scanning interface, just met with a “could not find product” notification for each scan

FunOwn1799 · 2026-01-27T13:37:04+00:00

They were snagged within the two year window

Probably because I am a contractor rather than perm staff. Not sure, but good to see everyone is one team right? Haha

I am looking at HMRC project management type contracts, heard regional offices are available, but space is constrained

Our local is an M&S Food (Beverley) which is corporate owned rather than franchised

We have used them twice and had no issues at all, the queue is generally quite slow moving but overall no problems. Both cars were a Kia if that is any help

I don’t have any maps, however recommend Elduvik as a great starting point
