After 10 years as CEO of SSE, I stepped down at the end of last month. For over 7 years I wrote a blog called, imaginatively, "Ian's Blog". My last ever entry quoted Churchill's speech about it being the end of the beginning so I decided that if I was to start a new blog the first posting would be called the beginning of the end.
By Saturday morning I was already missing my blog, so decided to give another one a try. I thought, the name of the previous one was particularly inspired, so I decided to keep it going under the same imaginative title. I am going to attempt to keep going with a mix of postings about things that happen to me, interesting books and articles I read and commentary on the energy world. However, I won't be commenting on SSE!
I had an emotional send off as I left the building but within half a mile of leaving, I realised I had forgotten my phone. Having vowed not to follow Arnold Schwarzenegger, and do the "I'll be back" thing, I had to go back within 5 minutes much to the surprise of everyone who was leaving the office! I then went down to the pub to really start the rest of my life.
