It\u2019s been a difficult decision because it\u2019s a world that I have so thoroughly enjoyed but I have now reached the point where I just want to do something a bit different. And there has been one clinching thing \u2013 the opportunity to set up a small property company with my son, Ben (he\u2019s a builder), to renovate and manage properties.<\/p>\n<p>Of course it will also give me a lot more time to focus on other things &#8211; particularly on existing charity work, travelling (when possible) &#8211; a lot of which will continue to be to wherever the England football team is playing &#8211; and writing music arrangements for the Choir I conduct.<\/p>\n<p>As many of you will know, the last 22 years have been spent at Astralis which has been wonderful, fulfilling work and I have loved every minute but, with my moving on, Astralis has closed.<\/p>\n<p>And so all that is left for me to do is to thank clients, candidates, suppliers, colleagues and fellow consultants everywhere for all the support given over the years and I wish every one of you enormous success in whatever you do in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Kind Regards, Mark<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astralisgroup.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astralisgroup.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astralisgroup.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astralisgroup.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astralisgroup.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/astralisgroup.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astralisgroup.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
