At JPY consultancy services are available where an expert is required purely on a time-materials basis. This may cover investigating a specific network problem, training on a product or process for which no training course exists, installing a product or the provision of general or technical advice.
Senior consultants are available at a fixed daily rate within a 50 mile radius of the centre of London. Outside that radius there is an additional charge for travelling expenses and subsistence expenses.
