I used to work in STE09, then later STE04 when 9 was sold off. Did a few secondments at BRA01 though. When it comes to Fujitsu, the possibilities of redundancy are limitless!

My Dad used to for about 25 years, based between bra01 and Winnersh. He used to do IT support/helpdesk type stuff so maybe your paths had crossed over the years!
Well Mr 5678, your dads description sounds suspiciously like my ex colleague Maurice. If that's the case then tell him Phil says hello. I left BRA01 when they were giving away money (redundancy). Last time I spoke to Maurice I was still enjoying a good long career break but you can let him know I'm now working again, in Wokingham.
