Re: Farewell
Actually Mr Banerjee reorganised the Bristol Labs into five separate Labs last year. He canned the role of Director of Bristol Labs when Robin Gallimore 'retired'. The role was shared between the remaining Lab Managers for PR purposes.
There is only one building on the Bristol site that is actually 'owned' by HP, Building 3 that used to be wholly used by 300 or so labbies back in 1998, after the round of redundancies the warm body count must be less than 80? Hey now they've got room for all those EDS folks they are moving up from Carboot Circus.
The rest of the site is now owned by UWE and a housing developer. HP must of made over £200 million quid from selling the prime real estate.
