I’ll inevitably miss loads out who have also inspired me - so apologies - but I also recommend following;

@tonyp_recovery @DannyCheetham @owenbaily1982 @tom_eaton86 @fourteen0seven @Adam_WoodGS

Learn from their experiences.

...and a personal shout out to @AndyMargett. The first to really welcome me into this ‘community’ who went out of his way - without being asked - to offer advice and guidance, which was absolutely invaluable. Works with the amazing team @epicpgc led by @Paul_Buck20.
