What I did before

29 years in the business (BL/Rover/BMW/MG Rover) finally "Head of Human Resources Development.  Training (Adult and Young People), Organisation Development, Manpower Management (Recruitment and Redundancy)

What I'm doing now

Run Naturally Concerened (for Alison) Limited with my daughter.  HR Consultancy,  Travel,  Animal Conservation,  Theatre.

Have variety and fun - I do what I want.

If you'd told me 5 years ago I'd now be doing what I am I'd have been sad.

Loss of MG Rover and the death of my wife, in whose memory we have created Naturally Concerned.

Top tips I'd pass on to someone else facing redundancy

• Take professional advice for job seeking
• Take a few days to allow yourself time for raw emotion to fade, before making decisions
• Be as flexible as possible
