Following another solid month Ashton Consulting continues to defy the market in trying Economic times. Continued growth in traditional markets alongside sustained growth in emerging, niche areas has seen contractor numbers continue to rise and permanent fees maintained at robust levels.

Despite the increasing numbers of candidate advert response, many key areas remain candidate shy, areas from STB/IPTV development and testing to Broadcast Project Management, GIS Analysis and Sharepoint Development to name a few.  If these are areas that are of interest to you or your colleagues please feel free to forward your details via the website for a prompt response.

Moving in to the first quarter of 2009 Ashton Consulting continue to forecast manageable growth across traditional market sectors as well as additional growth internally within both the contract and permanent teams. Watch this space for new staff biog's in the near future.
