AVAILABILITY:
Dates available. I will consider short, medium and long-term
roles on a call-off, day-rate, PAYE, permanent or fixed-term
contract basis
NOTE: Increasing legislation from the UK’s HMRC*, is strangling
freelance and consulting activities, resulting in pressure from
the client companies I engage with, to only deal with
limited companies. This is a costly move for a
small business, does not guarantee immunity from IR35** and
makes it more and more difficult to engage with new prospects,
particularly larger organisations. There are a number of
'umbrella' organisations who I can deal with to give you the service
you require, without unnecessary risk on you as the client, or on
myself as the contractor. John Baker, Principal, intelligen

Why Consultancy?
A message from the principal:
"During the course of the last 39 years, I have been privileged to work
not only in the UK, but all over Europe, and in the United States too.
My work has covered all aspects of project and man-management, and
involved me in all stages of not only the document life-cycle,
(including storage & archiving, preservation and conservation of hard
copy,) digital and microfilm based information storage and retrieval
systems, but also allowed me to stretch my brain-cells by analysing, and
in some cases programming, solutions for business, commerce and
industry.
Now I believe it is pay-back time for me!
With the wealth of knowledge I have accumulated, it is too much and too
diverse to simply attempt to write it out and place it online, possibly
in some disjointed and/or unrelated way. Therefore I have decided to
offer my services as a specialist consultant with an almost unique
ability to bridge the gap between imaging technologies (scanning,
photography, video, microfilm,) and ICT storage & retrieval systems.
I hope you find what follows on this page to be of interest, and if you
would like a confidential discussion about a particular requirement, I
am happy to do so.
My direct line phone number is 0044 1330 824826
, or you can raise me on
my mobile too, which is 0044 7775 863257."
