Our lives are entwined with technology. We see as it becomes more innovative than it was last week, more fluid than it was the day before. We see the constant improvements that it brings us and how it makes our lives easier instead of harder. Why then, when we often deal with the telecommunications industry does it feel like the reverse is true?
The job that sticks out is a job we did in Spinningfields putting in a fibre link: I have never experienced such torrential rain like on that day. Morale was low but we managed to work as a team and get the job in regardless. At the end, everyone was soaking wet, but we managed to complete a very challenging installation and overcome a turbulent night working together as a team. It was a testing day, but it got us closer as a team.
After leaving the Armed forces, after serving fourteen years, I served three years employed by Metronet (now M247) before moving to Telcom last year. After leaving the Armed forces I was contacted by a close friend (Lee Lawrence - then operations director of M247) who offered me a role within the engineering department at Metronet (now M247).
