Jonathan. A week or so ago I got a phone call today asking if I’d be interested in going to Madeira for a week. Yes, that’s the Portugese island off the coast of Africa, but not for a holiday. The call was from my boss at Mouchel in WGC, Dan Clarke.  Storms last January caused extensive and severe damage, and engineers are needed to support international loss-adjusters dealing with insurance claims. I was asked before, back in March or so, but it never came to anything.  And the same again this time.  A pity, I was beginning to think I might quite enjoy a niche role as island-engineering specialist!
