Amazing what you can learn here......

It was the last day today for our General Manager, Jason Tunbridge, who has been head-hunted for a job elsewhere. As I pointed out my last Diary entry, you can learn a lot from working here, and sometimes find yourself talking about things you never dreamed you would be discussing.

Over our farewell lunch for Jason, the Epi–No came up in conversation. At the ACMI Conference in Perth, Jason had one of these devices on display and was asked about it by many of the people who visited our stand and it seems that people either like it or hate it. Explaining how it works, however, led to several hilarious discussions - one of the hazards of being a man in a woman’s world is having to deal with this kind of task. Jason, with his wicked sense of humour, handles this kind of thing really well, as I am sure the midwives concerned discovered.

We will miss him in our office. As he pointed out, when he joined Birth International he knew nothing about childbirth, apart from being present for his son’s birth, and now he can provide basic information on a whole range of topics, including the Epi-No! We wished him well with his new venture, and hope that he can find some ways of using all this new found knowledge, gained over the last four years. He’ll be a hard act to follow.....

Sorry to hear that Jason's moved on. I met him in Perth and thought he was a great asset to your company. It was so nice to see a man interested in childbirth!

I also met Jason at the ACMI Conference in Perth. He was a hoot! All the girls talked about him. Guess you were lucky to have him for four years!
