Jim Coombes(1944- BBHS 1956-60 I left Bell Baxter 5A1 shortly after the year started and with my parents moving to west Fife, transferred to Dunfermline High School. From there on to Glasgow University because it was far enough away for a living away from home grant. Graduated in Geology in 1968 and followed with a Diploma in Management Studies in 1969. Joined Procter & Gamble in Newcastle in 1969 and never left. Started in Brand Management, but it wasn't for me and moved into Market Research. Came across computers in 1972 and found my forte. Took over responsibility for managing firstly UK Market Research systems, then European and finally Global. Great thing about that was I never had a boss in the same country as myself from 1985 and almost all the people for whom I was ever responsible were in different countries, so they didn't have to put up with me being there. Managing a group of people distributed over 3 continents presented some interesting challenges. My travel budget became interesting too, exceeding my salary by quite a margin at times. However there was no logic in re-locating me from Newcastle as no one country had a majority of my effort focused on it. Lost a day of my life when a series of business meetings took me westerly round the world. They tried to make it up for me just before I retired in the spring of 2003 by asking me to go round the other way but I refused on the grounds that I wasn't going to work one day longer than I had to. Married to Sylvia for almost 35 years (1972), and now under her feet since retiring just over 2½ years ago (2003). We have a daughter Kay, still looking for that right job after graduating in Archaeology from Newcastle University last year (2005). Just a few highly selective life highlights - well you don't expect me to tell you the boring bits!:- During student days assuring a senior police officer that we knew of no students involved in trying to steal a cannon from Dumbarton Castle, while my fingers were still sore from climbing the wall. Watching one of André Segovia's last ever concerts from the second row. The Newcastle theatre classed it as classical and applied classical seat pricing. Our seats were ridiculously cheap while the rich and wealthy including all our company directors sat 8 to 10 rows behind having paid a fortune. Yamaha chartered a plane from Japan to attend. Realising that Hong Kong is a key Asia hub and applying astute journey planning to end up at the Harbour View Hotel over the weekend between offices - twice! Having lunch with the president of Cyprus in his penthouse suite overlooking Nicosia - his daughter was doing business with us. Reapplying journey planning experience from Hong Kong to Miami which is the main Latin America hub, stopping over at the Sheraton Miami Beach for the weekend between offices - re-application is an important business principle. That makes it all sound a lot more interesting than it really was.
