Dog walkers are a special breed of people

And the self employed electrician who charges whatever the market will bear.

If you don't like low paid employee work, you are free to set up self employed like many of us do.

It's not this area at all, In fact it's all areas via an agency as its governed by the Jib rates. I have jobs from all over the country coming at me and all the similar £13-17 p hour, all mainly via agencies.

That's only if the company takes you on after your initial period to which you have to supply everything!! Hexa is an agency.
