Community Team Update

[Toby]

Hi guys,

It is with a very heavy heart that I must announce that I’ll soon be leaving my role as the head of this brilliant community.

I’ve been here for 5 years (or half a decade, as it sounds more impressive) and some of you will remember those very early days as I do (hopefully fondly :smileywink:).

We’ve done so much together; Amazing advice between and to other customers, Try The Tech, Virtual Interviews, BETA testing products, creating amazing how-to guides (Some used by our customer service teams) and some of the best reviews this company has even seen. Your insights and comments have helped shape O2 in so many ways and there’s never been a dull day with you lovely lot either, so thank you :).

Martin and Marjo will be staying on and will continue putting 100% into their work as they always have and I’ll still be online for a few months to ensure that my replacement is fully ready to take everything over and to shepherd the community into even more great things. More info on that to come very shortly.

I’ll still be doing the same kind of job but in a new place. I’ve loved my time here, but its time for something new after 5 years.

PM me any time in the next few months as I’ll still be around to make sure everything runs smoothly. I’m sure I’ll pop in as a guest from time to time too.

So, until we speak again; Aufedersein guys :). Not going anywhere right now, but I wanted to make a post to say goodbye!

<soto voce> He's gone!! Woohoo, let's throw a party!!!  </soto voce> 😛

Nah, seriously, gutted to see you going @Toby. Having been actively involved with lots of online communities, even managing a large one myself for a period, you're by far one of the best community heads I've come across, and will be a sad loss to O2 and the customers on here. 😞

Wishing you all the best for the future mate, I'm sure you'll carry on doing great things wherever you are.

Now, did somebody mention a party?

Good luck for the future.

Wow. Sorry to see you go, but agree every so often you need a change and a new challenge.
Good luck and no doubt you will be missed here and welcome there!

You will be missed

SORRY to see you go but do you remember one of my PMS saying I will be here long after you are gone....joking mate, just when we had an understanding! 

Good luck in your new future @Toby I really wish you well , 5 years eh? Seems more like 10 but you must do whatever you think is best for your future but you leave some friends behind
