I found several references to it at:

http://www.jobisjob.co.uk/openvms/jobs

They all say exactly the same:

----
I have an urgent new requirement for a Programmer with HP Basic for 
OpenVMS. You will be primarily responsible for writing and modifying HP 
Basic programs. This is an excellent opportunity to work for a 
nationally recognised brand. 

Salary: £25,000 - £30,000 
Location: Bradford. 
Type: Permanent
----
