Hi Steve,
It’s good to hear from you and I agree with many of your concerns. We
are drifting a little outwith the UKNOF remit so I’ll probably leave
it at that. :)

True, but Equinix will do that for you for £100, so by itself that's
not a
skilled job.
I did mean this as more of a metaphor, criticising those who think they
can see the big picture but actually have no idea what a paintbrush is.

And unless research and decision making of global projects or research
can be led here, how will you attract people or investment inward?
Indeed, much of the top UK talent now works for large internationals
(OTTs etc) and their presence in the UK seems purely incidental. I wish
all of that would create more jobs and industry in the sector in the UK.
