It was great to Chair the Paddington association and to drive up membership. I had the opportunity to present twice a their annual bash and visit many other BNI groups. At one event I met with Dr Ivan Misner who founded BNI and is probably the worlds best networker with 150,000 members across the world - and he's a nice guy too.

Already an important topic, we were pleased to spawn an additional task force that focused on European search spend broken down by country.We created a case studies archive on the IAB Europe web site.We worked hard to communicate the benefits of mobile search and to determine and define a pan European best practice guideline to help agencies and their clients across Europe

As a contractor I worked in manufacturing for Mars Money systems to trouble shoot returned vending machines to not only identify the reasons for rejection, but also to make enhancements to product at the Mars Money Systems factory in Slough. The work required detailed evaluation, testing and reporting. Suggestions for improvement then had to be walked through a series of teams with many issues and cost benefit analysis to be overcome. In the end failure rates were reduced leading to increased sales and higher systems up time.At AMD in Woking I was responsible for testing and evaluating returned microprocessors with a view to identifying common faults.I commissioned keyboards to be manufactured in Germany. I managed to sell over £1m which at a unit price of £55 was great fun. The keyboard was an upgrade for the ZX Spectrum Sinclair home computer. Established supply chains with other hardware suppliers,with no capital and dramatically increased unit sales value per client.I started with ambition based in my parents stairwell, made international calls without their knowledge. We we were surprised when the first double articulated container truck with 1,000 boxed keyboards arrived. There were many more...I just discovered the front page of Popular Computing Weekly. 6th August 1986... headline: "Saga to launch cheap Z80 micro" - a week before IBM launched the PC - I had managed to put a PC together. Just did not have quite the marketing muscle of IBM...

Radar Missile Guidance Systems. College was fun, the work extremely dry. Literally, I worked in 'clean' rooms, areas that were essentially hermetically sealed and as a result often had no other humans inside. R&D lab, Production facility, onsite installation (Type 42 Frigates) and the ATE Lab.
