Sid, IMHO i think 1st April (the date you and I amongst others join NPAS?)will be the start of a very long process of trial and error, perhaps by the time the last region join 'we' will have provided the management team with sufficient 'evidence' to start to answer some of those questions of yours. I imagine there will be plenty of 'projects' for us to be the subject of
.
My first question would be with 11 weeks to go to the start date, who will be the new employer?
A very gradual process no doubt and good luck to all involved!
