Pandora's Box

I hope you all had a good weekend. I was delighted that the rain held off for the show jumping yesterday. Overall everything went well, although I narrowly lost out by less than a second to a 70 year old ex French Olympic rider (Dominique Bentejac). At least I still have time on my side.

Handovers are essential but it's only when you start flying solo that you really see what needs to be done. With John diving in Mexico and completely unreachable, I've started to look under the bonnet in more detail....hopefully we'll manage to get a few more of you off the bench today and back into the swing of project life. My next major task will be to get a clearer view on the different roles out there that we need to get staffed....matching demand with supply if you like.

It's actually the first time in 9 years that I've been on the bench so it's giving me an interesting insight into this part of company life, (as well as giving me more time to understand exactly what I need to do to replace John). I also intend to use some of that time to start making contact with many of you. A process which will probably take a at least a few weeks given the size of the group. More anon....
