Rate

In these days of increased awareness of the impact that travel is having on the environment, I’m costing and accounting for travel outside of my daily rate to encourage home working. If you feel you can support home-working then you’ll get more for your money. I can keep in touch with you and your team for free using email, Skype and Twitter, and can join team meetings by video with Skype. However if you would rather see me in person, I’ll come to you, I’ll just be estimating travel costs and adding them to the rate. Either way, I’m sure you’ll find my rates reasonable.
