Possibly good news for Basingstoke folk - I’ve discovered that Sun Life Financial of Canada is to acquire the UK operations of Lincoln Financial for £195m, increasing its UK assets under management by 60% to more than GBP 10bn. Might mean an expansion of jobs in Basingstoke - could be worth getting in touch with them? (Sun Life Financial, Basing View, Basingstoke, RG21 4DZ;Tel: 0870 1611111;http://www.sunlifeofcanada.co.uk)

Also, De La Rue has won a £400m government contract to supply the new biometric passports over the next 10 years, so it could be worth getting in touch with them too (De La Rue, Jays Close, Viables, Basingstoke RG22 4BS; Tel 01256 605000; http://www.delarue.com )

Welcome to the new Executive Network blog hosted by Open Door Training.

The intended format is that Kerry calls the shots and authorises participants to join and post, and Steve Butler will do all the boring techie stuff in the background to keep it running smoothly.

Please feel free to post any articles, comments or advice to the rest of the group so we may all benefit and give feedback. If you have any suggestions for additions to the site setup, please let Steve or Kerry know or just post a comment and people can feedback on whether they agree!

The categories feature has been added to help organise the data - if you can assign a relevant category when you post a new blog item it will help to find that item in the future. These blog things can get pretty big pretty quickly, and the more we put into this blog the more we’ll get out of it. We aren’t restricted to those folk who are between jobs either…the intention is that this blog will be for an ever growing network of executives who can help each other out with any issues we face over the coming weeks, months and years.

Cheers one and all….and welcome!
