I spent some time out of work but eventually I was taken on to a programme which was a for runner to what became the YOP's programme (Youth Opportunities Programme). At the time computers where beginning to become a necessary business tool. The YOP programme gave me access through a YOP course at Burwell College Bristol University. Through this programme I was team up with Radan Computational and the start of my computer career.This was a very important time in my life as I also got married and still married to Gillian 35 years and my two children where born.
