[HLUG] Linux Job in Coventry (Support Engineer)

Hi,

I hope nobody minds relevant job ads being posted on the LUG, but... 
;)

The company I work for has a Linux job going in Coventry and we've had 
little joy in finding suitable candidates. It's crucial that we find a 
good candidate and I was hoping that either a LUG member or someone 
you know might be interested in applying.

For a detailed description, information about our company and for 
contact details for further information/application please check here:
