It's time for change

October 2007

Dear All,

My wife Lynn and I, founders of Hunter Murray International, have decided to retire.

Our working life included thirty years working in schools as teachers and then as Deputy and finally Head Teachers followed by six years working as Hunter Murray International. We worked as interim managers and consultants to schools across the UK and also in seven other countries around the world. We also offered technician services and web design and hosting to you and other schools across the England.

This has finally taken its toll. We have therefore decided that this is the time to retire. Education has been our life and we are not sure what will replace it but know that we need to rest a while before we make any further decisions.

How this might affect you:

Consultancy

We will be honouring all of our commitments to schools with whom we have consultancy agreements but will not be taking on further contracts.

Web Design and Hosting

I am delighted that our son Stephen Wilson who once worked with us before leaving to set up his own Marble Web Design (www.marblewebdesign.co.uk) and who indeed designed many of your websites will be taking over the design, maintenance and hosting of your sites to ensure that our commitments to you are met. I know that many of you will be delighted to work with Stephen again. He will be contacting you separately from this letter. He will also in the first instance continue to use Erma with whom many of you have such a good and close working relationship. Updates for your websites can be emailed to: update@marblewebdesign.co.uk, with your school name in the subject line.

Thank You

We would now like to thank you for your custom over the last few years and hope that we have been of help to you in whatever capacity we have known each other. We have been especially appreciative of your kind words over the last few years and wish you well for the future.

The world of education and in particular the role of the Head Teacher has never been harder and you have our highest admiration for being there at the chalk face still battling to provide a rich and dynamic education for the nation’s children.

Best Regards

Lynn & Tom Wilson
