There's quite a few ISP's http://www.paul.sladen.org/nottingham-isps/ (thanks 
to LUG member Paul for that webpage), one of them very big Host Europe, and 
there was some mention of them needing bods, they advertise in Linux Magazine 
(with a tiny picture of their discreet "Blofeld-like HQ" in Beeston) as 
www.dedicated-servers.co.uk.

Capital One use Linux discreetly in places but have more HP & Solaris 
officially, course that changes, Nottingham Trent Uni (comp sci dept),  
Logobrand and Empics also use Linux to my knowledge for several years.
