After returning to the UK in August 2019 from our 10 years working overseas in Thailand and Australia for Bombardier Transportation, and after being locked down with everybody else too many times, I have finally accepted a role as Site Manager at Berrywood Primary School, literally a two minute walk from our house! This role gives me the working flexibility I was looking for to continue supporting our youngest son David, who has finally had his Education Health Care Plan approved in time for him starting senior school. The skills I have learnt over the years working with many excellent individuals shall be put to good use in this role. A big thank you to Mick Ward and Raymond Au-Yeung for their references (don’t know what you wrote, but it worked!!) cheers guys! And as always, an even bigger thank you to my wife Katie for nudging me in the right direction (sharp elbows!!).
