Email from Derek Jones
Hi Scott,
A quick note to update you on my leaving Integra …
Having enjoyed 10 fantastic years at Integra it was simply time to take a break and move on. I will now take a couple of months off before returning to the channel in a new role that is still to be finalised, so no further comments on the new role yet.
My work with the PCA will continue ‘business as usual’ except I now have more time to assist the management team. The PCA has enjoyed several years of massive growth and I’m very aware that there have been times when our resources have been substantially over stretched.
Regards
Derek
