Places I’ve Worked
The following table records most of the organisations I’ve worked for (or at) during my career.
I never spent more than four years with any single employer / customer, while some engagements were as short as one day. The longest elapsed work period was with Lancashire Constabulary – my favourite workplace; where in 2019 I helped in the replacement of systems I’d previously assisted in deploying in 2010.
