What ive noticed with the first few sample tests is you have awful amount of time to think , it crossed my mind just as my tin foil hat blew off that just maybe all this austerity over the last 10 years and what with the pre brexit planning might just have left us in a better placed position than the rest of Euorpe and able to come though this with a certain amount of damage limitation

What i meant to say was that financially that is, rememenber before this broke we were on a massive recruitment drive for both the hospitals and the police , driving back from the refuse tip just now seeing a dozen or so youths jostling and mucking around , made me think the only way this is going to sink in is with Squaddies on the ground carrying their SA 80 a3 , only then will those idiots stop compromising every one elses ability to survive this

Sounds terrible but I can see many businesses going to the wall. Many in the IT/tech world even. The demand won't deminish and maybe some companies will look at changing staffing/working long term to become more efficient and lower costs.

You need to be geared up to make the most of the opportunities so I'm starting now. Just got to keep it all tight and solid then be ready to scale up if/when required.

Our company has made a major push to get us all to work from home. If this proves successful, I can’t see them justifying the overheads of the massive office. I imagine other companies when/if they get out of this, might question the need for a centralised office for most of its staff. That brings with it IT opportunities, I guess.

This is a very interesting point. I think a lot of companies are going to have real issues. Even the big boys struggle with capacity of remote access solutions Leading a remote team is not the same (or indeed easy) as leading a team in an office, and the security issues are going to bite pretty damned soon because a lot of these have been rushed out without sensible technological solutions or the right mind set.

Oh and yes. Massive opportunities....

Lawyers specialising in negotiating lease break clauses would also be in great demand.

Maybe. 'Our' (very soon to be 'their') office in Boston is meant to be moving in May. Although the new office isn't finished and all construction is halted.....
