  Just before Christmas 2007 we moved office, this was a result of splitting the company into two distinct organisations. I managed the split of our corporate IT infrastructure into two and also provisioned all the new equipment and services required. I also managed the move of all services to our new premises with no downtime. I also implemented a new VOIP phone system which was an interesting experience!
  
  We are now rolling out home working using a secure broadband network which allows us to connect home users to our VOIP system, giving them all services at their home which they would have at their desk.
  
  I also run the direct online marketing activities of the company on our flagship sites - see links.
