'There is one guy who has come on in leaps and bounds over the last six months or so, since Scott left to go to Canada, a guy called Nigel, ... who is very good technically, very good. I would see Stuart relying on Nigel a lot on the technical side. He's very good. ...X022 page 011.02a (tape 01.2.10a) Gordan Notes/Trans/Tape 27/01/94Now Matt, interestingly, Matt came in as a graduate but he had experience in the past of computing and the guy is excellent, and ... he is just brilliant technically, he really is one of the best people I have worked with. So I have just promoted him two grades which has never been done in the history of the X-Group before, he has missed a grade out and gone straight to the next one up which gave him a good salary rise. ... I was really concerned about him leaving, because ... the contract market must be pretty attractive to some of these people. I mean I have a contractor in at the moment on the team, whom I am paying a £1,000 per week to. Matt, even with his new salary, earns fifteen grand or whatever. They do talk and they are quite aware of these things. So it was quite a question of raising Matt's status and rewarding for these things but he is actually the main architect of this next release of the system. He has done all the database design. So if you are going to talk to anybody today about that, him and Nigel are the people to talk to.'
