Where Are They Now? |

Have you wondered what your ex-colleagues from PONL are doing now? While many people have managed to stay in touch via local networks, Linked In and the Heritage Message Board, there is no central source of information on what PONL people have moved on to. This page can never provide a complete list covering the most up to date information on every former staff member, but it hopefully represents an interesting samle.
If you would like to contribute to this page then please complete the Where Are they Now form.
