Please can someone get me a list of web based companies that match up
retired experts with companies. I remember seeing an article on this
in a Financial paper or the Financial Pages of a paper (probably the
Financial Times) in the past few months referring to a company called
my encore, my reprise? Here people who had retired from large
companies with specialist expertise were able to match themselves up
with other companies needing this speciality

I have found three separate articles referring to this company.
However, after further research, I have not been able to locate any
other company similar to this one.

Would these articles and the name and website of the company suffice
as an answer to your question?

Best regards,
Rainbow

Dear Rainbow,

Thanks for this, the link to the company plus the articles will be
brilliant and will be a full answer to my question I've tried and
failed, off and on for weeks to remember.

Useful to learn that they seem to be unique (any competition that can
hide itself from a Google Answers Expert is not going to be
commercially viable - unless it;s the retired secret agent agency)

Many thanks

David
