Good luck Steph!

As has been pointed out by everyone else above I’m sure you’ll excel at whatever it is you choose to do next.

We’d love to work with you again so look us up if you’re ever down in sunny Brighton. It’s wireless between the piers!! (should that be any lure…)

Enjoy considering your options

Blimey. Can’t imagine you finding it hard to get work – but immensely brave move all the same!

A loss to winning people over inside government but brilliant to know you’ll be available.

Bolt from the blue! You will definitely be missed Steph – I’ve learned a lot from your examples over the years, and been in awe of your ability to get things done in super speedy time, while also managing to explain to us all how you did it!
I echo all the comments above – and hope you’ll keep in touch.

Looking at the post on my reader, I assumed you were off for an early holiday in Spain! So a bit of a surprise. Definitely a huge loss for BIS and central government, but hopefully you will not be lost to this space entirely and will continue contributing either full time or in your spare time to the difficult task of helping government to explore, understand and make good use of social media! Good luck for whatever you do next and stay in touch.

Steph
I don’t know what to say except that there are a few people that you will always remember during your career. You are one of them. And although you will be a huge loss to our digital.gov.uk world, I still remember you as the brightest of bright, clever COI researchers – we miss you here too.
I just know that you will never be that far away…..
Thank you from me too.

Best of luck Steph!

I do hope you will keep up the blogging wherever you end up and continue sharing your insights. I’ve learnt much from your posts over the last year.

… so thank you.

Damn, another one bites the dust. I was still getting over Craig Manson leaving DG Innovate at the end of this month. Good luck Steph ‘and thanks for all the fish!’
