[INDENT] There's been a slightly suspicious outbreak of larger units generating lots of regional 'offices' recently to look like 'local' outfits
Good point. Its all going around in circles, eventually these new regional offices will be hived off or sold and we'll be back to where we started. Super units with regional offices aren't necessarily a bad thing though if it means that local staff and expertise can be kept in situ. And the small scale independents will always be able to pick up enough crumbs to keep going as long as theres an active curator slapping conditions on
Now, to get a conspiracy theory/sensible plan of action going (delete according to personal prejudice) can I suggest that the IFA should use all those hefty subs and start buying up units to create a mega-behemoth RAO. Then once theres only one unit left we can get chartered status and ban or buyout new startups, stop arguing about whether we should be IFA members or not, end competitive tendering and only work within 10 mins of home.
We could call it the Unitof1.
