Thankfuly I have a few strings to my bow and enough qualifications, experience and a wide enough network to get work elsewhere.

I intend to get the redundancy and shares etc though!

I will have to splash out on a 1 week course to get full Prince 2 accreditation (I have Props) to better match the uk job market but, thats no great issue.

Prince 2 accreditation


You're a project manager?

There was talk of us doing that course - all gone quiet...  ::)

Have been for years...I have Props qualifications (plus the usual MS Project etc) but, that is an international development standard and not the more basic UK one.

Can you get a job as a PM at my old company - I'm fed up with banging my head against a brick wall due to woefully, unbelievably bad PMs there ;D



Joking aside, sounds like you should be able to get yourself sorted - probably a good thing you've been dragged into an office tosser PM role, as I fear your technical specialities around transmission are probably, err, a bit too specialist to easily find other work?

Sorry to hear your news Mark.  This is another blow for Coventry, too  :(

It is so tough out there-so many people I know have had the same happen, my brother, friends and colleagues.
I hope that they give a good severance package and that you find work soon-sometimes an enforced life laundry can be beneficial in the long term, but the short term sucks.

Best of luck-you have a lot of respect and support on here  :y

The funny thing is that we have a new purpose built site which was funded by Advantage West Midlands, visited by Gordon Brown.....and its announced that it will close less than 6 months after moving in  ;D

So guys and girls, the tax payer loses out again

Smells decidedly fishy. Something in it for someone, by the sound of it???
