Hi Andy<br>
<br>
I had seen this but, having also been away, haven't got round to catching up<br>
on things.<br>
<br>
I was wondering what you need the money for; in my experience the most<br>
important thing you need is to get the staff on board - a hearts and minds<br>
exercise which may take time and therefore cost money indirectly but which<br>
does not usually involve large sums out of budgets.<br>
<br>
Can you be a bit more explicit about what you are looking for?<br>
<br>
John<br>
