      It is Simon as the investment posts clearly hint. And I suspect the answer for the second bit is a combination of boredom and providing work for people who have left sjd as its declined..

        Yep, its me. Why did I come back? Well, its a market I love - been in it since 1993. I get to start up again from scratch with all the accumulated knowledge, work with the best people I used to work with, and yes, build another successful business I hope.
        P.S. What Spreadsheet? Revolutionising the contracting market again.

                You looked a bit daft with the first comment but to have a second pop? Really?

                    Fair enough but it was misleading and now shown as bring incorrect. Having said that the subsequent purchase of Clearsky & Parasol will have taken their total investment in this sector to over £120 million.
