Approved Lists..1
This list business really does annoy me.
I've had a similar thing happen to me recentl. I have been trading for more than a year now as a sole trader and have had to jump through all of the usual loops concerning getting approval from curators, even though many of them have known my work for other units for the last 15 years. I have recently been contacted by a potential client in an area I have worked in from the start of my career, although never as a sole trader. The client has been told he can choose whoever he likes to conduct his watching brief as long as they are IFA registered! Is this legal?
The thing is one of the larger units I have worked for in the past have worked in this very area for more than ten years and are not IFA registered.
He has also been informed by the curator that the brief 'as yet not issued' and the WSI can be dealt with once the watching brief has been undertaken. This cannot be correct? The development is not happening for two weeks, pleanty of time for the curator to prepare a brief.
