currencies.co.uk to change from euros - anyone use them?

I get paid by my customer in euros so I've got two business accounts, one euro one sterling. Its free to transfer between but the rate is crap.

Found a company called currencies.co.uk who do the transfer at a much better rate. Could save me £50 a month.

Anybody ever used them? I'm just a bit wary about transferring 1000s or euros etc.

    Not going to happen. I'm an IT contractor and my rate is quoted in Euros. That was the contracted deal unfortunately.

    I can't suggest anything really, I know that I get my euros from the Post Office and I never sell euros as I keep them with me.
