I love working for myself through the mechanism of Geoger. I really do. I get the chance to work with some great clients, looking at a wide range of issues - some technological, some commercial, many of them researching new methods and tools. But with so many amazing things in the world, and so many … Continue reading One life, live it. One planet, help it.

Environmental thoughts
I went to an event earlier in the summer of 2019 that was run by Oxfordshire Greentech.
