I just saw this from Chris Parks and thought I would share with a wider audience:
Folks, Just a quick reminder of the meeting this Wednesday at One Central Park, Manchester M40 5WW, 18:30... Attending from Microsoft are David Overton, Danny Ovens and myself.
Hope to see you there :) Also, a huge thanks to those who’ve either joined the online network or sent me back their profiles so far...some of them have been enlightening and some of them downright intentionally hilarious!!! (Please feel free to send through today if you get chance and haven’t done so yet :)
Regards,
Chris Parkes

About David Overton
I have been in the IT industry for over 22 years working across a variety of technologies, business segments and organisation sizes. For the last seven years I have been working at Microsoft, initially delivering solutions for large UK customers in the retail sector, but have now progressed to delivering solutions for smaller businesses. My keen interest in smaller organisations resulted in a dedicated role starting over 4 years ago.
Before working for Microsoft, I worked on various Unix platforms while working for major UNIX hardware retailers (which include IBM, Sequent and ICL) delivering mission critical computing using large Unix and Mainframe solutions.
I am also a school Governor and recently stepped down as treasurer for a charity (Farnborough & District Samaritans). My passion has always been to help customers and partners towards the goal of improving their business through the use of IT (because I can help with this and I do enjoy helping people).
Finally I love sailing, have mangled a finger doing so and still love both dinghy and yacht sailing (none of that power boat stuff for me!).
