I work in 2 very large central London venues which mainly host exhibitions, concerts, meetings etc. Basically I rent the halls out to organisers of events.
I have worked in commercial refrigeration for the last 26 years, since leaving school. Manufacturing not end users, I love every aspect of it. I sound like a saddo, but it has been our family trade for generations.

Recently retired, former Police Sgt of many years. Can now be found occasionally trundling up and down the highways of the UK escorting abnormal loads, aka mobile roadblocks!
Veterinary Orthotics and Prothetics.... ..basically orthopaedic braces and artificial limbs for animals, mainly dogs.
Office boy for a privately owned Road Haulage and Warehousing company, times is hard and I would like to ride my Ducatis more often, so don't get me started on fuel prices !!!! 15 cents a litre would about put things back on par for the UK haulage industry vs the Eastern Europeans.
I'm a geek :biggrin: IT Project Manager - come through support and then design of IT geeky stuff and now PM'ing, also studying at Uni. I'm also a former soldier (Royal Australian Signals Corp) and former California Superbike School riding coach.
I design and produce resources for children who have communication problems or mute. I work with Autistic children and work with a couple one to one again who have very little speech. I basically have to think and write in pictures. It has varied from one day getting a smile or a hug that makes your day. To taking down a boy who was stabbing at his face with a fork or ducking as a tree stump came through the window as chairs whistle past your head. I am also trying to learn Makaton so I can sign. It doesn't keep my bikes or me its the worst paid job I have ever had, but Its one of the only places I have walked into in the morning and looked forward to the day ahead I love my job ,
Another air conditioning engineer here. Just quit a nice safe job with a big company to work for my brother's smaller, less well paid company. Blood's thicker than water. Actually I helped him set up the company years ago, then we had a row and I left, now I'm back.
I work in large format digital print, we supply global brands with all the fancy stuff you see when walking in to and around shops, garages, car dealers, race tracks, exhibition halls, buses, sports arenas etc If its big, we print it basically.
