In a letter dated 15th November 2019, LMS-Patriot Project Members were informed by the Company that the Board's Chairman David Bradshaw had resigned after the Company's November AGM. The Engineering Director Steve Blackburn had tendered his resignation a few days later.
The Board has expressed grateful thanks to David Bradshaw without whom the LMS-Patriot Project might have remained nothing more than a fond hope: his vision and contribution has been a major factor in the impressive progress made since 2008. The Board also fully acknowledges Steve Blackburn’s service and contribution throughout his 11 years as a Director.
The emphasis in January was on organising the transfer to Tyseley of our many components stored in containers at West Shed. A site meeting back at West Shed on 8th January inspected the contents and agreed a methodology for sorting and transferring components that cannot be simply transported in the containers without risk. An extended team of volunteers has been assembled for this special task. Our original plan to complete the move in late January had to be deferred to February because of temporary vehicular access restrictions at Tyseley (outside the control of TLW Ltd.).
