Wanderer, you have mis-understood IT support with Customer care.
IT Support is Engineers creating, maintaining and supporting IT Infrastructure. which isn't offshore.

I'm a qualified IT Support Engineer with 5+ years of Enterprise level Support.
What are you after?

It is at my level - 20+ years of Unix design and build...

Oh. My apologies for jumping into conclusions too quickly and if that offended you. It wasn't my intention to do so.
I wonder what makes you think IT Support has moved offshores though. Any british company or ones especially with its hub in UK will always have their core IT infrastructure here in UK...or that has always been my understanding...if GisManchester is contemplating to start a business, i think he is talking about targeting SMBs and smaller companies who are absolutely local with their infrastructure.

GisManchester, you have 1 expert (who you'd need to convince to get support) and 1 with some working level knowledge (i've similar aspirations to start similar business if i could)...though i may burn out of this scenario soon, wanderer is going to be around.
