Euro bank account in UK

Hi,
Wondered if anyone has any experience of this? I'm resident in the UK but starting work for a company who will pay me via bank transfer in euros. I am looking into opening a euro account here and would need to transfer a fair deal of my salary to a sterling account to pay the bills etc but also want to keep the remainder in euros. I don't have a lump sum to open this with. Am trying to minimise the bank charges as much as possible.
Any recommendations? Would reallly appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, have seen the posts and know HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, Citibank and many, many others offer euro accounts. I'm really interested in any recommendations as charges seem to vary so much between banks depending on how you use the accounts , so what is suitable for a frequent traveller is not necessarily the same as an account suitable for regular receipts over 100 euros (which often appear to be charged) and frequent transfers to sterling!
Thanks0
