Flew back from Spain on Wed. Then yesterday me and 2 of my colleagues met with our company directors to inform them that we were tendering our resignations.
We make up an entire section of the company. One of my colleagues is a Technical Director of said company. This therefore went entirely as expected! It was fairly cloudy in that room for the 20mins we were in there.
So now begins the process of setting ourselves up as our own operation. 3mo notice period first albeit no idea yet whether we'll be required to work it or not.
Suddenly the next few months seems incredibly daunting

Yep best of luck Mike, sounds like you and your business partners have sufficiently sized stones to make it work.
That Renault ad is awesome - like any wife in the world is not going to go fucking apeshit that she wasn't informed until it was a done deal - simpler times, right!

Nice one! What is the business area, so I can send people your way? Planning or transport or something?

I also like this ad from around the same time. In fact, I thought the Renault ad was for Credo when I was trying to remember it. Then I thought it was a Renault Laguna ad before remembering it was even older than that.

Cheers chaps. 12 years in one place for 2 of us and 10 for the other, so we've had a fair old stint. It's only my 3rd job since leaving uni 18yrs ago!
The only thing making me nervous at present is sorting the finances with the banks - hopefully once all that's in place we should be set.
Jobbo - Transport Planning is our bread and butter, albeit having worked within a multi-disciplinary planning consultancy for 12yrs we're reasonably well versed in general planning matters as well. Not that we'd ever formally advise on such matters. Any business put our way would be massively appreciated!

Good luck with it all. Hopefully in a couple of years time you'll wonder what all the fuss was about
