New Start
I couldn't let today go without an entry.
About 9 years ago in September 1997 myself and three colleagues (Simon Horrell, Martin Gudgin and Steve Rodgers) went the the Microsft PDC in San Diego. As well as having a great time at the show, we also approached Mike Abercrombie and Don Box of (at the time) DevelopMentor with the idea of creating a Developmentor UK. After a few discussions and then technical interviews with Don, Chris Sells, Tim Ewald and Keith Brown, it was agreed to create DevelopMentor UK.
The doors of DevelopMentor UK opened in March 1998.
Over the years DevelopMentor has lost all of the people I listed above apart from myself, Simon and Mike Abercrombie, but for various reasons I've also decided that I can no longer work for DM full time. So three months ago I (along with Simon) gave DevelopMentor notice that I would be leaving. My notice period elapsed last Friday, so as of today I am no longer a DevelopMentor employee. Having said that I will still be contracted to DevelopMentor for the foreseeable future, so it's not a clean break, but still, after nine years today is a very strange day!
