looking for info on a past employer

bwatt00

I worked for a company in 1996 in holland called smit uitzenbureau b.v. or b.u. well i have no record of address or email or phone number and have looked on google but have no idea if agency is trading under same name or if even still around,where can i find such info,even if they have there old address would be find i can work from there.but i have nothing on them right now and was wondering where i could find such info

Get in touch with companies house (http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/) & see if they're still trading. If so they should have a current address for them.

Ignore my previous post, they're registered in Holland so Companies House won't have anything on them. You'll have drawn a blank with Google cos you've spelled Uitzendbureau incorrectly. Here's their head office:

Smit Uitzendbureau BV
H A Lorentzstraat 4
3331 EE ZWIJNDRECHT
NEDERLAND

tel: +78 6202800

Someone there will have the info you need about the UK branch (if it's still open).

Good luck,
TC

Where did you find this info,how would i know this is same company?and i dont think there was a uk address,i had applied for the postion through the job centre some years ago,i did have his business card but no longer,and he did look for guys in certain trades in oil and gas sites and workshops etc

It's from the Dutch equivalent of companies house. There are no other companies with the same name so it'll be correct. An "Uitzendbureau" is an employment agency so the chap would have been recruiting for a 3rd party hence him looking for tradesmen.
