Other benefits include 25 days annual leave, excellent pension, cycle to work scheme and access to facilities including a gym, restaurant and on-site coffee shop.

And we previously reported MI5 chiefs were looking to hire “cost-cutting” Procurement Managers to get discounts on gadgets for real-life 007s.
And in March we told how spy chiefs are also on the hunt for a weapons expert like Q in the 007 movies.
MI5 wanted an “Explosives/IED expert on £66k-a-year to help real-life James Bonds fight off Britain’s enemies.
