Over the last few years, I've been a consultant for a major IT Services company; worked for a UK-based support services company; contracted for Australia’s largest independent magazine distributor; worked in-house designing and project managing a Europe-wide infrastructure refresh for a major fashion design, marketing and retail organisation; and then I joined Conchango, a mid-sized consultancy which specialises in delivering technology-driven business solutions that incorporate the latest methodologies and technologies.
I've worked with Conchango, first as a client and then as a consultant, for about 3 and a half years in total but the time has come for me to move on. For anybody who lives within commuting distance of London or Surrey, enjoys the variety of work which consultancy offers, and who knows a significant amount about enterprise intelligence, interactive media, Agile development and program management, or mobility, Conchango is a fantastic place to work. It feels a bit strange to be leaving a company that I still enjoy and which is packed with talented people but I've decided to rejoin the global IT Services organisation I left just over 5 years ago to embrace a new role as a Senior Customer Solutions Architect, taking technical responsibility for large IT infrastructure projects within their Architecture and Design Group.
I've worked with some fantastic people at Conchango - too many to name individually but you know who you are - thank you all!
Since the Conchango blogging community was launched late last year, my blog output has prompted some to comment on its volume and to say they almost expect to see what I had for breakfast appear next! One of my clients says he can find out what he's been up to by reading these pages! I just hope that what I write is useful and, if you enjoy reading it, please update your feed readers to point to the place where I've been blogging for quite some time now - http://www.markwilson.co.uk/blog/. Meanwhile, it's time for me to sign off for the last time here, to let Jamie reclaim his place at the top of the blogging table whilst Keni tries his hardest to catch up, and don't forget, there's a whole load of Conchango bloggers now - the full list is here.
