Now retired, my thanks to those agencies who supported me since redundancy in 2007, and were impartial regarding my physical disability. I especially thank NFU Mutual, who provided me with many contracts over several years, enabling me to regain some of the premiums I paid over 28 years as a smallholder. I have been privileged to work in an industry I decided to join aged 13, after mastering sufficient Fortran to drive an Elliot mainframe computer. I cherish the memories of proving wrong many colleagues who said "it will never work", just as I cherish those who had the confidence to let me innovate anyway. Discrimination from higher echelons has hindered my career in every company I've worked for, but success in solution delivery has been my reward, as much as seeing them choke. To my close colleagues and team players who contributed to my successes, causing me to refine and polish our deliverables, I will always respect and wish you all continued prosperity. With no need to "sell" my talents any longer my diplomas for PRINCE2, SSADM, CPM(CPA), SOX, etc are relegated to the bottom drawer, and as those with whom I've worked as subordinate, colleague, department manager or trainer know of my skills, I have shortened this section ruthlessly.The quotes below date back to my opening a linkedin account and are as much intended as a caveat to me, as they are to those colleagues who thought their actions & remarks were too subtle for me to notice.Ethical Quotes: "To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice"​. --Confucius "Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without waiting to check the facts." - E. B. White
