I leave my current job today at MSI Defence Systems Ltd
http://www.msi-dsl.com I'm the In-Service Support Manager, what is really irritating is the speed at which the company works, in part due to the MoD processes and paperwork..
Anyway, I'm off to
http://www.ot2k.com I worked with these guys for 11 years started with them in 1987
long story, they were bought and shut down, the guys then started on their own... they were looking and so was I, and made me an offer I couldn't refuse... AND they will pay my fuel bills
, the MD is a bit of a petrolhead, he drives an Aston Martin DB7 and so is well aware of what my fuel bill will be like!
Can't wait to start :-D Monday here I come.
Thanks for listening 8)

Looks an interesting firm JC, having a petrolhead for a boss is great as well. Good luck with the new work

Integrated Services Technical Manager :?
It amounts to running the Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical workshops that look after ROV and Diving kit, They have a well tooled up Machine shop as well (might be useful :lol: )
As well as the above they manufacture some underwater TV camera stuff and offer fabrication and machining services to others.

Yup, Salhouse Road, what is it you do? I usually (used to anyway) roll in around 7:50 or earlier, leaving around 5:10 or so, apart from Fridays :P when we had the afternoons off :-D

Your new job sounds blinding - bit more interesting than Service Improvement Consultant
I'm now expecting to see you on National Geographic everytime a ship is discovered.
