I started my working life in 1976 with Arthur Andersen & Co, Management Consultants, now Accenture, in London. At the time I was the 90th employee. I stayed thirty years, through three changes of name, and more than forty years later remain in regular contact with with many friends and colleagues from those days.

There is a group of people who were among the leaders of the firm in the UK when I joined, and with whom I am particularly pleased to remain in contact. They seemed unimaginably knowledgeable and experienced when I first met them, they were some of my first mentors in the firm and they have remained friends ever since. And so I thought it would be good to capture a photograph of them.
