Welcome to my new website

Many of us over 60 are counted out when part-time jobs come up despite our collective wisdom and abilities.

To counter some of this prejudice I have dispensed with sending my CV and have instead created The Complete Picture, an animated ninety second overview of my life to date @ https://vimeo.com/223960456.

BCG Report for Google

The Internet's worth (£100 billion) is a higher proportion than the construction, education and transport industries.

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) said 60% of the £100bn came from ‘internet consumption’ - via online shopping and the cost of devices and connections to access the internet. The remaining £40bn comprised internet infrastructure investment, government IT spending and net exports.

The survey also revealed this country exported £2.80 of e-commerce goods and services for every £1 imported, and that 250,000 people are employed in the e-commerce sector.

Britain was placed sixth on the ‘e-intensity index’ - which calculates the reach and depth of the internet in the world's major economies.

Denmark leads the way by this measure, with the UK above the likes of the US, France and Germany.

The BCG survey for Google also revealed that 19m UK households have an internet connection - 73% of all homes, and that broadband penetration has doubled in the past five years.

It also found that 62% of all adults had bought goods or services online in the past year - 31 million people.
