Deborah, we need to think about the candidates who've put in applications for the post of area manager. Yes, John, it's an exciting new role, and it fits in with the strategy development plan. Quite. It's part of a logical progression in our approach to management, carefully consolidating our skills base. It should mean a new chain of command, but based on tried and tested methods, we'll be stronger as a result. Well that's the idea. Now, the first one that's come in is from Colin. The assistant manager for the south-east? Yes. Colin's clearly keen. But of course, it's an attractive proposition. And I think that's what's drawn him. He's said his current post is demanding, as well he might, but that he's keen to position himself in the spotlight here. Reading between the lines, I think the alternative, as he sees it, is to move sideways to IT, which is where his background is. It would be a shame to lose someone like him, he's hungry. |
