Jobserve is OK for IT jobs. They do engineering as well.

Not so related, but what about Linde material handling?

They're a good company always looking for people at the head of their field?

A lot of the the equipment has complex electronics, fuzzy logic, canbus etc. May be of interest. I'm not aware of much else in that area, if you're looking to move, Insys near dunstable is looking for people too. They make military vehicles (as you'll probably know) and again have high levels of sophistication (or so they told me!!).

You're welcome guys

Although I don't have experience of them all, I would recommend Reed and Jobserve. I'm also in the same position at the minute and both have been invaluable in putting me in contact with the right people. Jobserve is fantastic if you're after IT vacancies, Reed is very well put together.
