 GOV.UK is built by a team at the Government Digital Service (with thanks to Martha!) in London,
 Bristol and Manchester.  If you'd like to join us, see https://gdscareers.gov.uk/

-Today we're saying goodbye to a senior product manager, Mark McLeod. Mark joined GDS in 2012
-as a policy advisor, and later became a product manager in the early stages of GOV.UK.
-
-Mark has worked on many things, including search, email notifications and retiring Local
-Directgov. He's been instrumental in giving GOV.UK publishers access to data about their
-content, so that they can make more informed decisions.
-
-Anyone who's worked with Mark knows he always throws himself wholeheartedly into the work and
-really cares about making a difference. He's been a huge user needs champion, helping us stick
-to our principles, building products based on evidence.
