Just an update although the news is still officially embargoed I think.

Didn't get the job - but really the best of outcomes. Performed really well, didn't let myself down and was apparently considered 'appointable' which was encouraging. But beaten by more experience of leading
large teams and managing big projects.

I think I'm relieved really as not at all certain I would have loved the job. I wish the candidate who got it all the best and will watch with interest. But surprised to find it wasn't who I thought it would be.
