Just an update
I’m back in the swing of things after a few days r‘n’r in Budapest (what a wonderful city) and I find the team have been as productive as ever. Nothing to do with 1APP this time but with deliveries of a far more personal nature.
In the last few months we’ve had no less than three of the guys in our team becoming dads, two in the last two weeks and both from our tech support team, so please be kind if you have occasion to call our support desk and they’re sounding a little less alert than usual.
We are also continuing to work hard to identify a partner to join us in our employee-led bid to take on the future running of the business following DCLG’s decision to commercialise the Portal.
It’s a very exciting time and we’re deeply gratified to have had so much interest in working with us to develop a bid. There is no guarantee that we’ll win but having a great partner will definitely help.
Finally, the closing date for voting in the Digital Leaders Awards is upon us. I’ve voted for Stephen Hilton at Bristol City Council Futures Group but there are lots of great candidates in central and local government including my good self.
