Looking for a UK IT partner!

I'm looking for a small/medium IT company or individual that is based in the UK that I can partner with. I have some very specific requirements that I have outlined in the extended explaination (click the more inside link). Does anyone have any contacts in the UK that they could put me on touch with to facilitate this or know of where I could find a list of companies that I could contact? I'd really prefer to find a keen individual as this could possibly be done from a persons house and would require very little ongoing maintanence after the initial setup.
- must be able to receive Sky satellite at location, pay for it and rebill to me
- must be able to provide 2 mb/s internet upstream (2x1 mb/s, 4x512kb/s is ok), pay for it and rebill to me
- approx 50sq ft of space, will pay rent
- must do all inital setup of routers, 1 PC, sat boxes (we will pay for all hardware and labour for setup)
- be able to reset any hardware or diagnose connection problems (we will pay an ongoing support fee)
If you are or know of a company that can help out with this project I would appreciate it as it could be a great opportunity for them or you.

Response by poster: It's a lot less sinister than you make it sound. We're not going to be rebroadcasting to anyone, just remotely viewing the feeds using a SlingBox (slingbox.com) from Canada, as far as I know, the Slingbox is not illegal in the UK. We're a software company and need to view sports feeds from Sky. I'm just looking into this because it would be a lot cheaper than setting up an entire UK entity.
