Building 10 houses and converting the former Amberfield School into 12 luxury apartments is the most showy job - I prefer some of the pubs we have refurbed though
At a previous job I took total ownership over the pension illustrations from back end calculations working with the actuaries to all the wording and design of them and of the 10,000 or so a year took them from everyone having to be manually amended to less than 0.5% needing to be |  |

I wrote a rather cheeky yet non-offensive ode about a colleague and his tribulations in the lab once. My boss saw it in the tea room and said he thought I had found my calling. |  |

Hmm, nearly an uppie but then the no pickles is a bit of a black mark. It can be done of course, but needs a special talent to pull it off (if you'll excuse the phrase).
One of the best burgers I've ever had was a homemade, but with home picked blueberries. Sounds odd, but it worked remarkably well. |  |

Previous role - redesigned the public school curriculum from scratch in the UAE to make it more inclusive for females and ended up driving up attainment across all genders.
Current role - all redacted…😎 |  | | |

Been running my van hire for 25 years this year! 🙄
Best moments working with my dad and buying commercial sites in our home town.
We did do a big JV for 15 units about 10 years ago on BSE. That was fun and stressful.

Most rewarding - definitely the people development side.
Most impactful actual work has been leading on some fairly major M&A transactions - cumulatively $100bn plus now I imagine. |  | | |

There's a few things I can't mention, but the one I like, is that my Master's thesis was a techno-economic assessment of the viability of a new technology. I concluded that it was not yet ready for mainstream development. During my viva defence of said thesis, my tutors asked me if I was confident in my conclusions. That morning, the one major player that was still developing, had put their project on hold, indefinitely.
Its always nice to be right. 9 months of work validated at just the right time. | |

Several that I’m proud of but can’t really discuss because of confidentiality reasons, but two from earlier in my career really stick out:
- in 2006, redesigned how one of the largest hospitals in the north of England managed their paper based medical records. Before the work they were ‘mislocating’ over 25 sets of notes a week causing many many appointments (surgeries, follow up appointments) to be cancelled. An audit six months after the work was complete concluded only three sets of notes had been mislocated in the six month period - and two of them were found in the back of a Doctors car!!
- in 2008, led a review of a home office contract into an outsourced service (think G4S, Serco, Capita type contract) that saved government over £12 million a year. The fees for the review were less than £100k and I was shortlisted for management consultant off the year of the back of the work. | | | |

This is one of those things that sounds completely made up but is so oddly specific that it can't be. | |

Years ago, as a lorry driver, I took a load to a customer who'd been awkward and fussy on previous occasions. Back in Felixstowe I went into the office where they had test match cricket on tv in the background.
They asked about the job and I told them everything went fine. As I was stepping out of the office I heard Richie Benaud comment "That was an excellent delivery".
Well if Richie Benaud thinks my work was good, then who am I to argue? |  |

Great thread.
Playing a massive role in building my company up to now work with a large number of Schools in London.
Any teachers, teaching assistants, School reception or office staff in and around London, particularly the South East or North West of London, do send me a PM.
We're particularly great at helping young candidates into teaching assistant roles and do a lot of work with Special Needs. So know if anyone knows someone in London, who might even have some experience of working with children, coaching, babysitting etc, who are looking for either a full or part time role in education, do get in touch.

Wiping my Dad's arse without throwing up (because he could no longer reach it owing to disability*). Unfortunately, I couldn't hide my dry wretching, so only half marks, although he bravely ignored that.
Caring is an vastly underrated profession.
* i should add that he normally had carers to do this, but sometimes they were unavailable or sometimes he was just desperate for a crap or wipe when they weren't around.
Edit 2: sorry to bring to tone down. [Post edited 13 Jan 2022 10:28]

I guess that's where the extra fingers comes in handy, to get the job done quicker?
Admirable job done though - well done. | |
