Today is a very exciting time for BranWell Ford because it is Christine's last day in the office as she commences maternity leave.  We have been planning for this for some time, with Helen taking back the complete responsibility for in-house recruitment with additional support from Hayley and Jane.    As a Director, Christine will continue to be actively involved with the company, attending our monthly Board Meetings and being involved with a number of exciting projects for later in 2009.  Please do feel free to respond to send your good wishes to Christine and I personally wish her every happiness for the future.

I'm on my penultimate week before I go on maternity leave and there are so many loose ends to tie up. It will be interesting to watch the recruitment industry over the next 6 months. It's not all doom and gloom, but we all need to make provisions to ensure that the cycle of recruitment continues and it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on how you are finding the market place, so please do respond.  This brings me to a subject that I've been meaning to investigate - 'Twittering' or 'Twitter'. Does anyone use it in the pensions industry? Is this the new Facebook/My Space?  From what I know so far, Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?   It’s a free service (you can’t say that about many things nowadays!!), so maybe it’s time I started to twitter!!

Its been a week of disruption  because of the weather conditions.  Like many of our pension clients, we had to shut our offices on Monday, but the bad weather did not deter us for too long.  A few postponed interviews were soon rescheduled and remote access meant that things soon got back to normal.  My appreciation goes to  our candidates who made every effort to attend meetings in such adverse conditions.  Thank you.  Pip Sanford, Director
