The old Amstrad company may have been sold to Sky (R.I.P.) - but the memories of some great times with Sir Alan will live on as long as we all stay friends. 14 ex Apprentices from the 80's gather for some great fun, beer and pies at the Newman Arms last Tuesday evening. See the photos on Facebook.
This maybe the last post for Amstrad - but its my first blog post for months - I have been storing it all up - so there is lots to follow as I have been reflecting on 6 months of new social media i.e. Facebook, Plaxo Pulse, Twitter, Google Reader, Gmail, 400 Linkedin contacts - the progress Sharedband has made and where we are going next, extended stay in Seattle and visiting Portland, LA and San Francisco - meeting up with Robert Scoble, Om Malik and many other intersting people.
This is a personal blog, favourite memories of my time in sales and marketing and other interesting stuff. For most of my career I worked for well known IT brands like Dell, Xerox, Dixons, Amstrad, AST, Tektronix, Staples, and Stone Computers. Recently I worked for an agency specialising in global marketing efficiency, nowadays I have my own consulting business called TrueTalk. BUT in the background I have been developing Gotradelive a cloud based platform for SME trading and networking.
