Global IT Company - Fleet

Mikey · 7 Jul 2010 at 16:34

Looking at a job based in Fleet and trying to work out who it is. The advert and agency say it's a global IT company.

I thought Accenture, but I can't see Fleet listed on their website.

There's quite a number of IT companies that have offices in Fleet. EDS have an office in Fleet, I worked there for a few months. Not sure if they are still called EDS though, since they were bought by HP a while ago.

Ah course forgot about EDS.

Names I was thinking were
Accenture
HP
IBM

I know Atos Origin don't have an office.

mmm think I'll just have to get my CV updated and go from there. However I'm DV cleared and would like to retain this as the contract rates seem good with this.

BT Syntegra (on Ancells Park) is another biggie

EDS / HP have closed their offices in Fleet.

IBM have an office in Farnborough but no presence in Fleet. Accenture is not located in the area. BT Syntegra as mentioned above is a possibility I suppose.

I think you're probably looking at a smaller outfit which operates globally to be honest - there aren't many of the major players located in Fleet.

Accenture have an office in Farnborough but not Fleet, IIRC.

Virtually every company with a website describes themselves as global.

It's not Logica either - they're not HQ'd in Green Park, Reading after many years in London.

BT Syntegra is what came to mind here.

What I have done in the past is to copy a line or two out of the job spec and search for it in Google.
A lot of the time you get a link to the same job advertised on that company's job listings site.

Not a bad idea, I'll look at that
