The DEXODUS Management Committee

Peter Thomson - Chairman


Contact Peter
Peter Thomson joined DEC in 1973 and took over management of the Personnel function for Northern Europe two years later. He worked for Geoff Shingles and Darryl Barbe as Director of Personnel until 1984 when he handed this over to Alastair Wright and became Director of Organisational Development. In this role he was still part of the UK management team based in Reading. For his last two years before leaving DEC in 1991 Peter was the Director of Consultant Relations based in the Holborn office.

Brian Robson - Editor of The Dexodus Newsletter


Contact Brian

Brian worked at DEC as a Management Consultant (SWAS, later called EIS) from 1986 to 1995, when he retired with the ‘package’, and a Digital pension. He worked at DECpark, various locations in Basingstoke and in Newbury.

Interests include holidays and travel, while still fit enough to enjoy them. Thinks of himself as a tech freak but his former colleagues would still disagree with this!

Kevin Miles joined Digital's UK Engineering team in July 1978, initially based in Fountain House, then Cheapside, then Acre Road, and finally graduated to the relative luxury of DEC Park II in the mid 1980s. He worked as a Software Engineer on products such as IAS, PEARL, OSI & DECnet Phase V, MAILbus & X.400. He finished his stint at DEC with a four-year relocation to the Telecomms Engineering group in Sophia Antipolis (a.k.a. Valbonne) where he worked on DECss7.

Since leaving Digital he has worked at Cisco Systems, as a Software Development Manager, but has mainly been employed as an independent consultant undertaking a variety of software and systems roles.
