    previous employers to these? But you could well struggle as everyone wants them from the past 2 employers with very few exceptions

    More likely for 2 if you haven't been in the current or last job 3 years or more. I am lucky I guess as I have two current ones, 2 personal ones and an historic one.

    if you nip over to the employment board, that is the reference they provide on company policy so maybe that will be ok

    I thought your current one was going to give you a reference..?

    Maybe you can get a character reference from someone outside of work, and just get the 2 employers to confirm dates of employment?

    And, if my memory serves me well, didn't your previous employer dismiss you?? So maybe not likely to be good if you got one?
