| Reason For Leaving | |
| I was offered the Financial Directorship in Nov 1997 which I turned down because I knew the entrepreneurs were planning to sell on the business, which would mean I would be back in the market without any qualifications. I decided to resign from my position (6 months notice) and look for contract/interim work which would provide me with the flexibility needed to study and provide a fantastic opportunity to acquire extensive finance and commercial skills in a diverse range of industries. | |
