Contractor
UK Company Information
About
The Contractor UK Company
Contractor UK was founded in late 1998, just as the 'dot-com boom'
was reaching its dizzy heights. At the time, there was very little
online information available for IT contractors, and the controversial
'IR35' legislation had yet to be announced.
CUK planned to maintain a simple list of links and general topics
of interest for fellow contractors. But with the advent of IR35,
demand for relevant information surged and by late 1999, the site
had become a full-time venture, with tens of thousands of visitors
reading the latest news.
Since
the year 2000, the traditional IT contractor publications, such
as the much missed 'Freelance Informer' ceased to be, less able
to compete with the real-time nature of the Internet. Contractor
UK was one of the main beneficiaries during this period, and has
grown at a staggering rate ever since.
Their community is made up of IT contractors (around 85%) and a
vast array of service providers, their Bulletin Board alone receives
over 12,000 page views a day. Contractor UK has been the leading
contractor site in the UK for many years now.
The Contractor UK website continues to be run independently, by
former IT contractors and a wide network of specialists who work
for the site on a freelance basis..
Their
survey results and articles have been featured in the 'FT', 'Computing',
'Freelance Informer' and numerous online sites including Silicon.com,
AccountingWeb and VNUNet.
Contractor
UK also provide content to selected IT news sites, including Computer
Weekly via CWJobs.co.uk, and Workthing.com (Guardian Media Group).
