Morning.
Firing then all cylinders now. Right, a proper hello then. Me? Getting older by the day, forgotten what the fountain of youth might have been, and recovering from redundancy late last year as an International Group Health & Safety manager. Industry was Commercial properties from office blocks to 750,000 sq ft sheds. development and management was probably the remit.
Anyway, Muppet's on a far higher rate of pay than I (three times at least to be precise) decided that to line their own nests - they needed to loose some overhead costs...namely wages. So I went into private practice this year and thus far have not looked back. need some more billing hours but hey-ho it takes time to establish and get rolling along on all four wheels.
I won't prattle it gets boring after half a dozen lines so if you would like to know more about me simply check out the site and all will be revealed.
On a lighter note I was recently told that monthly out-goings for maintenance and advice work in my old employers org has gone up from around 20k a month to 40k, which just goes to show how many areas i covered and knew how not to get ripped off. Oh when will larger companies come to understand that not everyone is just a number???
Hope to join in as and when I can.
Thanks for taking the time to read my twitterings.
Mike
