<p>Well, my time at the NPIA in <a href="http://bandannaclub.com/Events-Gallery.shtml?zgdr=20091015&amp;ztop=24&amp;linkclass=blue&amp;font_color=FCF6E2" title="Bramshill 2009 - Photo Gallery">Bramshill</a> is now over.  It was a very busy 9 months working at my favourite client site and I got a lot done, but as always time caught up with me.</p>
<p>I will miss the terrific team that I was part of, the fantastic site I was lucky enough to work at on and off for over 4 years, the fab meals and the challenging work.</p>
<p>Like any contract, it had it&#8217;s down sides on occasion, but on the whole I feel pretty lucky to have worked there.</p>
<p>Ah well &#8211; that&#8217;s enough looking back &#8211; time to look down the road.</p>
<p>So long folks &#8211; and thanks for all the fish.</p>

<p>In the last few weeks, life has been crazy busy, especially in relation to work; both the work I&#8217;m currently doing and the volume of work being offered to me. </p>
<p>I recently <a href="http://bandannaclub.com/b2blog/index.php/2009/09/21/work_work_work" title="Work! Work! Work!">pontificated about this</a> to a degree, but since then I&#8217;ve received two offers of RedDot work, both based in London and paying a rate that makes me salivate even now.</p>
<p>And I turned them both down.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Time to say goodbye to Centrex, the police college in Bramshill
 <p><a href="http://bandannaclub.com/blogwp/2006/09/29/farewell_to_centrex/">... more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a></p>]]></description>

<p>Well &#8211; time to say farewell to the Centrex crew.</p>
<p>After spending 15 months working on the <a href="http://www.npia.police.uk" title="Visit NPIA website (opens in new window)" target="_blank">Centrex Website</a> and Intranet, it&#8217;s time to move on.</p>
<p>It certainly was one of the most interesting and challenging projects I&#8217;ve worked on for a good many years and the opportunity to work at a site as spectaular as Bramshill doesn&#8217;t come along very often.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s hoping the future is every bit as bright as the past and that you all find a suitable place inside the new and improved police authority/infrastructure that the Home office is busy cobbling together.</p>
<p>What else can I say except so long&#8230;and thanks for all the memories!</p>
