Just to update you all.
Spoke to them yesterday when they phoned.
Mentioned that paying up front for a referral contract service with a company I have never heard of was not acceptable to me and that i would be unable to go that way.
They were not confrontational or arsey which made a pleasant change.
I also mentioned that i was happy for both of us to trial run each other for say 20 - 30 jobs over the coming months to see how each other operated and build up a working relationship which they were receptive to but i will not be holding out or depending on that.
It would be good to have a contract like that but i would not be willing to get messed around or work for peanuts.
Thanks for your advice guys, it's always appreciated to get words of wisdom from others,
Andy
