'Now, the IT manager. ... I am very close to having one. What I have done is I've interviewed about 10 people. ... There are various agencies that specialise in this field in London, they sent me people and I went to a few of the management consultancy organisations and I've been quite impressed actually with the quality of the candidates. I suppose they wouldn't put up in front of you no-hopers. It's not like interviewing systems analysts or developers, where it's usually quite easy to sort out who's good and who's not. All of these people who have come forward have got reasonably good track records. Some are very strong on the business side, in terms of knowledge of insurance and insurance projects, some are very strong in terms of overseas-type projects, others are more used to this kind of client server, migrating systems away from mainframes, so there's a real mixture of people I've seen, some incredibly bright people who've got some really good ideas on how they would tackle it all and some more down-to-earth types. But the problem I've got is that the rate these people command is almost obscene. I mean, you're starting at £650/£750 a day. ... I want a one-year minimum, probably two-year contract. ...
