We're back, after a hugely busy year securing visitors to the World Cup, conducting sad investigations into aircrashes, training a Special Investigation Unit and designing a total security revamp for 2 large universities.

We did manage to squeeze in a long weekend away at the Phantom Forrest in Knysna and a week of scuba at the Malindi Marine Reserve in Kenya.

But for now it's back to the business of business - including getting two new startup companies off the ground.
