The office at home could help stem the flow of jobs leaving UK

Although half a mile from his nearest neighbour, Michael Wolff might as
well be sitting at the centre of a busy office. At least that is the
way the Scottish-based entrepreneur would like to see it.
From his home in Lethen, a hamlet near Nairn, Mr Wolff believes the
internet, and particularly the increasing availability of broadband,
can be used to set up a network of like-minded, capable and keen
workers. In so doing, some of the jobs that are being offshored to low
cost labour countries could be saved. It is not so much offshoring as
home-shoring, a phrase that is starting to catch on in the US at least.
