OB News OB News When I started out in IT, in 1993, I knew there was no such thing as a ‘job for life’ anymore.

However, 13 years ago I joined insurance company Unum Group (US Fortune 500 company) as the UK IT Infrastructure Manager, a position I enjoyed for six and half years.

So, I feel extremely lucky to be embarking on my third job within the same great company. Each change in role has felt like a ‘new job’, but within familiar surroundings and with familiar faces.
