Sally is a Lincolnshire girl through and through and has lived in Lincoln her whole life (apart from a brief spell when she went to university in Nottingham, but we don’t talk about that). She began her career with Lincolnshire County Council qualifying as a solicitor in 1996, which she believes now makes her "vintage".

We have received a number of enquiries recently from overseas, remote and foreign workers. We believe our company name is being used without our agreement or permission to legitimise offers of employment in the UK.
To be clear, this firm:
• Is not recruiting for any remote positions;
• Has not engaged any overseas or remote employees for employment;
• Has no relationship with any recruitment agency or similar to supply or verify foreign or overseas worker contracts for other businesses or the government agencies; and,
• Has no connection with IBM UK, Deloitte UK, Accenture UK or any other business purporting to recruit employees for work in the UK.
If you have been affected, we wish you the very best for your employment search and we are sorry you have been misled on this occasion.
