Nigel, analyst-programmer on Multinational Project in GIS

Nigel described himself as a University drop out, doing first accountancy, then english literature before working in a record shop and doing an economics degree. Although he had got a post graduate diploma in systems analysis he thought his recruitment to X-Group was based more on personality than skills. He thought the post graduate diploma was no use in the real world because it was only Cobol and the systems analysis was nonsense (00405).

Nigel joined the team part way through phase I (December 1992) from another job in X Head Office where he had already worked for Gordan (00404). He one of the main programmers on phase I of the project (00374, 00252).

By phase II Gordan was very impressed with how he had improved technically (00004) and he appeared to be one of the architects for the phase II system design (00896). Nigel developed the McDonalds system in phase III (00557) but was not mentioned when Jane's reorganisation was discussed.
