Overview
I joined the Directorate in early 1970 and apart from two and half years service with the Scottish Home & Heath Department (SHHD), I remained with the organisation until transferring to NTL in March 1994 following the government trade sale and then continued with NTL until I took early retirement in December 2002.
My personal interests include playing keyboard, computing, photography, travel and web design.
