Greetings to all former staff, students and my old muckers from Met Police Technician class of '86.
1984 - 1986 MNC Metropolitan Police TRT Group BTEC OND Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering.
1986 - 1988 Met Police Office. Depts: Personal Radio and Force Radio Sections. Command and Control (New Scotland Yard).
Evaluation and Development Section. Special Communications Section.
1990 - 1992 University of East London BTEC HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering
1988 - Present. BT plc Depts: Too numerous to mention, but notably:- Digital transmission (Kilostream and Megastream provision and repair). Repair handling systems support. ISDN30 Provision.
Currently I am a technical support manager based at Whitehall TE covering UK South.
I'll be moving to a new position in the "Voice over IP" field once yet another re-org has finished.
I keep my hand in the radio side of life at the weekend with the TA Royal Signals. Lots of HF fun while you freeze half to death in some field!
I am married to Sarah who is expecting our first child and we live in Loughton, Essex.
I have kept in touch mainly with Tony Quinn but have had contact with Lindsay and Helen Macdonald. I look forward to any reunions in the pipeline.
The MNC was a great place certainly in respect of the facilities and the level of teaching. It's sad that it's gone but it's certainly not forgotten.
Well done to the builder(s) of the web site. Keep up the good work.
