Gordon MackleySenior Transport Advisor
Gordon did some programming at university when computers occupied several rooms and programs were compiled on to punched cards and run overnight, because computer time was so valuable! He then avoided almost everything to do with ‘IT systems’ for 26 years and went to work in the main line rail industry, joining In the days when everything was done by one organisation, and ‘cut and paste’ meant precisely that, with scissors and a glue pot! ‘High tech.’ in those days was carbon paper and Roneo stencils. (Ask your parents or grand-parents!)~ Having worked in many operational management roles ‘on the ground’ (which again in those days required the manager to be in charge of almost everyone and everything), his latter railway days were concerned with train performance and planning, and running various different versions of railway control organisations. Whilst in charge of a Control Office, the new IT revolution arrived, in the form of a stand-alone 286 computer running ‘Multimate’, a pre-‘Windows’ word processing package. The new private railway company for whom Gordon eventually worked, decided they could operate without any great managerial experience and he became one of a large number of managers who were ‘disposed of’. (Later the government ‘disposed of’ the company concerned.) Gordon subsequently joined Nexus Alpha in 1999, when it was very much smaller than now, as an advisor on transport matters, which remains essentially his role still. This entails a wide range of tasks including: producing functional specifications, training and attending functions on behalf of Nexus Alpha right down to ordering stationery! He is married with no children and outside of Nexus Alpha is involved in missionary work and hospitality in a charismatic church. (That’s the type where they usually have modern music and enjoy themselves at services!). He also has a strong interest in all forms of public transport and is actively campaigning for the use of energy efficient and non-polluting electric trolleybuses in the UK. Other esoteric interests include the history of blues music, industrial archaeology, social history and the growth of London. Amongst the not so unusual interests is an appreciation of (drinking) real ale. He is a pedant in the use of English and a fervent supporter of the ‘Abolition of the Aberrant Apostrophe’. |  |
