Neil, I enjoyed your visits and found our discussions most enlightening as they provided a wider perspective as to what was happening with regard to assessment and verification in other organisations and I hope that TDR was able to contribute to the sharing of good practice which your visits were able to provide. Your support, advice and guidance to myself and the other members of the TDR assessment and verification team (especially Stephen Guppy who endorses my comments most wholeheartedly) was most appreciated.
