Our client has 3 excellent web sites, which are very well known in each of its 3 key technical specific areas, are customer friendly and held to generate many enquiries each year.
Reconstituted net profits for a new purchaser worker from home should be in circa £120,000 which would be an excellent return on their investment.

Our client believes that a competent project manager should on his or her own be able to handle the whole of his current annual turnover and generate excellent profits.
