    Most recently I have been on personal Sabbatical; I had originally planned to take only two years out after more than 20 years working abroad, to dedicate myself to a project at home, redeveloping and modernizing my house. Unfortunately as I getting ready to restart my career, the sudden death of my ex-wife meant that I became fully responsible for the continued welfare of our teenage son and felt it necessary to extend my career break. I now find it is time to re-establish myself in the workplace as my son who has now in his final year of his degree studies for Business Management at Royal Holloway University, London.
