Starting my engineering career as an electronics engineer, I moved into IT in the early 80's working in the development of intelligent test equipment and then self repairing aircraft electronics systems (Avionics).
After a period in management with Marks & Spencer and a pharmacy group, I returned to pure engineering where I concentrated entirely on IT systems.
