I'm a techie, and I'm now based in London (ex IMC Leeds Bradford).  Day
job is penetration testing, but I've worked as sysadmin for several
corporates, including a well known high street bank and a couple of
managed service providers and know my way around a network. I also own an
ISP, which is currently hosting www3.  Not really nominating myself, but
would be happy to help out if we decided to to go with London.

Regards,
Tim
