Thanks Macmel for the information we appreciate it.

We are really not sure now on the move at all. We've also heard that there are only 2 weeks holiday per year as well, we get 6 in the UK.
We are going to wait to hear from IMP and see what they have to offer before making any decisions, but staying in the UK is looking more and more like the best option.
We are in regular contact with mike and Orla who are, as you say, so very helpful. we are due to meet up with Willis Brazalot later this month so we will know more then.
thanks again
Janet
