Employment History

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, indeed some of the engagements listed in the table were solely for one day.

The longest elapsed work period was with Lancashire Constabulary, my favourite workplace. In 2019, I helped in the replacement of IT security systems I’d previously assisted the deployment of in 2010.
