As part of my early retirement package I was promised some consultancy. Soon after my leaving the company Royal Insurance merged with Sun Alliance who were based in Horsham. Tony Hortopp, my ex-boss, took the group IT role so I was well placed.
During my consultancy period I worked with The eis Network, which specialised in Executive Information systems. I did work with them for Swiss Re, the Reinsurance company.
My last project was with Royal Sun Alliance where I project managed the implementation of a module of the SAP system. I had a team who worked for me, the Liverpool leader being Ann Richardson who handled the Liverpool implementation. This project took over a year, and entailed constant travel between Horsham, London and Liverpool. Living initially in Woking, and then later with Jo in East Molesey, I was driving to Horsham daily. Every two weeks I would take the plane from Heathrow to Manchester, where I was picked up by car to take me to Liverpool.
A very tough project and as soon as it was completed I decided to retire, once and for all. Until Javea Online was born!!
