Although it sounds like Bev is moving to South Africa and taking The Tool Factory with her, most of what it was doing will carry on - I'm still here and still active! And I should think the Northern Irish guy from whom she got the Social Impact Tracker will still be supporting his product. By the way, the co-operative angle has not been completely forgotten as I became a member of Co-ops UK when The Tool Factory's membership fell - I have a 'Supporter' (or similar) class of membership. Business Plan Writer is still available at www.businessplaninsight.com - a new update is available for existing customers and a new version will be launched soon. Full Cost Business Planner is still available from ACEVO and I will continue to provide technical support for this and Business Plan Writer. And finally, I am in the process of moving away from developing software with Microsoft tools for Windows machines - and I'm sure I will feel much better for having done so when I succeed! Anyway, I look forward to hearing more about your own co-op over a coffee at the next South West Co-ops meeting... Kind regards Dave Kilroy Hi MJ, thanks for your comments on Bev’s article – and there is a lot of truth in what you say – however as a one-time member of The Tool Factory I thought I might update you about what is going on.
