Summer is here, time for a break?

Summer arrives and everyone starts talking about taking time off and going away. In my line of work though holidays often mean just working from somewhere else! The fast pace of the technology sector means it never sleeps, and whilst the attraction of ‘switching off’ is appealing, the reality is that I don’t do this.

Since my last post I have gathered a couple of new clients, all of whom have their specific requirements from me. I’m looking forward to working in a few new areas.

Additionally I’m getting my teeth into my roles on the Guernsey Innovation Board, and the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce. A first step I’ve taken is to start to put together a series of breakfast meetings – initially titled ‘Blockchain Decoded’ which will essentially be a ‘myth busting’ and soft introduction for people to learn and share experiences.

I attended a great session hosted by Locate Guernsey this month, where the Innovation Board heard from new settlers to the island and their observations on innovation needed.

Some exciting months ahead for 2025, which has been a tough year, but increasingly I think the hard work put in will pay off as we start the journey towards 2026!
