Gerry,
Came across this thread by sheer chance as I was browsing the PPRUNE site.
Never thought when I bumped into you a while back in Glasgow that you would have made such a success of your new company so quickly. Just goes to show if you have the desire and will to succeed anything can be achieved. it also helps a great deal that people like you, trust you and are willing to say so.
You and Morag obviuosly make a good team.
Congratulations, well done and long may it last for you. 'salt of the earth' guys like you deserve to make it good. I have no doubt that you are a good employer and treat your staff as you would like to be treated with respect, dignity and uncompromising support.
I'll buy you a beer next time I pass through Glasgow if you can figure out who I am! (if you do please keep it between us, I need to retain my anonymity!) send me a pvt-email if you do.
Best wishes.
BladePilot.
P.S. not sure about the band. aren't you getting a bit old for that!
