There are number of people who wish to work remotely but we are looking for people who can come out of their homes and work from our office.

I would have applied, but I'm more MS based than Linux. I'm doing my full CCNA and MCSE this year and possibly my COMPTIA qualifications next year - so maybe in two years time I will apply to join the technical support team.

You're most welcome, Dan.

I did used to live Manchester way, but moved back to the lincs area, we have a 15 yr old stepdaughter doing her GCSE's and trust me, uprooting now isn't an option lol - Have you ever asked a 15yr old what they think about moving... talk about murder in your sleep.

I'm currently doing my MCSA / MCSE and Comptia, though i seem to have more experience in the Linux field, rather than certification. One day i might end up working for webhosting uk, though in the distant future lol, it'd deffinately be different fro mthe feel of being a 'drone' in a print factory.
