We'll roll this out to lots of consulting employers over the coming weeks and hopefully can create a great repository of information about consulting employers like Atkins.For more information on consulting firms and career options within consulting, download your free copy of the [b]Definitive Guide to UK Consulting Firms[/b]: [url]http://news.top-consultant.com/guide_to_consulting_firms.aspx[/url].
