@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ In 2017 we hired a really great technical people-manager via our network at IBM
We got lucky with our ability to attract experienced seniors via our network and we also pulled in talented students and recent graduates, many of whom stuck around for a long time or remain with Filament today. We also benefited immensely from the UK Government-funded Knowledge Transfer Partnership which allowed us to hire masters and PhD-level data scientists and get academic supervision from top tier universities including Warwick and Essex. Working with both was a pleasure and led to me working with some truly brilliant award-winning academics and associates. I'd highly recommend hitting up [Essex Uni](https://www.essex.ac.uk/business/expertise/knowledge-transfer-partnerships) if you ever consider starting an AI research project. I hope I will have the pleasure of working with them and the lovely folks at [Innovate UK](https://iuk-business-connect.org.uk/) again in the future.

Of course people don't stay in jobs for ever. Some of the folks I've mentored or managed have ended up going on to work for really prestigious organisations and while I'm always sad to see them go I love to see them thrive in a new environment. I'm glad that I got to work with some of these people during their meteoric rise. I've always enjoyed lecturing but my time at Filament helped me to realise that 1:1 mentoring and teaching is even more rewarding and I've made many friends for life in this role.
