Exploring new ways to help people and businesses get online. Part of the job is to explore the many different ways that work We've been in lockdown since...gosh, I don't know anymore. How long has it been? All I know is today is Monday because my messages and emails rudely woke me up and this only usually happens on a Monday when everyone's frantic to get things done.
