It's not. Everywhere else in the world might be, but the UK has got very low growth right now. As alluded to above, it may be that jobs are coming free because EU nationals are leaving.

Had to explain to Ollie that come Friday, following your advice, he might be off to Dr Zim to be put down. His life may have been short but it was fun. He looked at me with those heart melting bug eyes and agreed.

I can talk and banter about many things but I draw the line at animal welfare.

Re: know anyone leaving?
my company globally made huge cuts over the last 12-18 months (including getting rid of people, and in some instances liquidating companies that were making significant losses with no or very little scope to turn them around) .....now almost every subsidiary within the parent company is down to the bare bones, in terms of manpower.
There was a complete hold on capex expenditure during 2017 and now in 2018 - unless the capex was needed to brought exclusively for a long term project/contract.
Our budgets for 2018 are nowhere near the growth that we were expected to achieve in past years.
But Alhumdulillaah, we've secured a fairly big contract with a company in Abu Dhabi and so that will keep us going, with smaller contracts in other regions.
