[Sussex] Fwd: [JOB] wessex networks

[Jacqui Caren]

Note that this not my employer - just a business I work with
roughly once a month - who asked if I knew anyone "Good".

Anyway they are nice folks who are expanding and looking for
someone and I suggested (volunteered?) to ask here.

Feel free to shoot me down - it is my fault the ad is here
not wessex networks...

Note that Richard from wessex did say that he will be joining
the list but as he is currently doing the work of two don't
expect a response via the list - contact him directly.
