Rescue Mission

admin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:43:08 +0000

ADL Consulting were recently approached by EPLS Design to assist with a project that had not turned out as it was intended to. The website, written in Drupal 7, had been under development for some time, and was still not operational. We took on the project, and managed to complete the tricky paid-for member-management system, bending an existing module to work the way that this particular project needed it to.

The results are a fantastic looking website, with excellent functionality that works, as was originally intended!

Sharing the love

When we get great service, we like to tell people. Professional Integrity are a business mobile services company, providing a fantastic, professional, and personal service to the business community.

We were struggling with contracts that didn’t really fit, and reception that was frankly woeful (O2, you have some work to do in the Midlands!). Jane (from P.I.) visited the offices with a range of sim-cards to discern which network provided the best coverage in our area. Having settled that, she then went away to research the best possible contract for our particular needs.

In the end, we got the phones we wanted, on contracts that provided more, and were cheaper, than what we already have.

So, if you’re frustrated with your business mobiles, you should certainly give them a call: 0845 450 3630

ADL Consulting are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and capable individual to come and join their team. The successful candidate will be proficient in PHP, ideally have a good handle on Perl, and MUST have previous experience with Drupal. Ideally, we would like this individual to be an all-round genius, but failing that, the successful candidate will at least be capable of designing databases. It would be nice if the candidate had experience working with Catalyst, but we won’t be too fussy about that one. Finally, the successful candidate will be smiley, happy, easy going – but not too laid back, able to make great coffee, and it would be nice if they can bake us all cakes on a regular basis too

If you think you fit the bill, please contact us using the contact us page, explaining why you think you’re the right person for the job. If you hear back from us, we’ll be asking for a copy of your cv, and arranging an interview. If you don’t hear back from us, please don’t be offended – it means we got swamped, and haven’t managed to cope with the number of people wanting to work for us!

Good luck!
