We also learned on Monday that the Head Of Operations in Teesside Steve Brown had been put on 30 days notice This guy has flogged his guts out over the past year turning Teesside into the streamlined, efficient unit that it is, and seamlessly migrating the entire countries 2nd Line & Surveillance functions over to Teesside. This is the way NTL thanks him for his hard work..

Good luck for the future Steve (and to all other staff that have/may lose their jobs)
I would just like to point out the factual errors in this comment. Teesside does not have the entire countries Surveillance function. In fact that role has been hyped up which may be a deciding factor in why we now have abscence of Mr Brown.
I do not doubt that there was a cause to fight for and admirable job was done too, but when a person fails to communicate internally company wide and empire build you will realise why on this occassion he was given the puch. Maybe now Teesside may co operate with the rest of the world and I hope not at the expense of other jobs.
