Thanks for keeping it up during lockdown

I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to produce Computeractive under these difficult lockdown conditions. Six issues produced out of the office is no mean feat, and the fact that the quality and content hasn’t suffered a bit is testament to the dedication and hard work of all your team.

There have been so many unsung heroes during this pandemic who receive little mention or thanks for the work they do. We would not have kept going without the continued services of the bin men, the postmen and women, the delivery drivers, warehouse employees and more.

My older sister is a teaching assistant who, with a handful of others, continued to keep their primary school running for the children of key workers while the main teaching staff remained at home throughout.

My work involves planning services for new-build estates and the team I work with, all from their own homes, have continued to produce a high quantity of work with no dip in either quality or performance. I hope this experience for us will usher in a positive change in the way we all work. We’ve proved we can do it. Michael Crouch

CA SAYS Thanks Michael - and to everyone else who emailed us with messages of support during lockdown. They helped to keep us going, particularly throughout those early weeks in March and April when the crisis was at its most severe. It was pleasing to read that Computeractive dropping through your letterbox every fortnight helped to maintain a sense of normality.

More importantly though, it was heartening to see the country come together to recognise the dedication of people whose work is often overlooked.
