title Steve Ives' Leaving Lunch, Science Park, Cambridge - 11th July 2005 intro Steve Ives - serial entrepreneur and founder of 3G Lab, which morphed into Trigenix and was eventually assimilated into the Qualcomm empire - finally leaves, and whilst it's not exactly a surprise it's still the end of an era. Nosher started with 3G Lab almost at the beginning when it was a start-up in a shed with 6 employees, being one of the very first interviewees at the offices in Wennington, in the depths of the Cambridgeshire countryside on the far-side of Huntingdon. Later on, as the company grew, the engineers all moved to offices in Cambourne, and finally the whole company moved to Cambridge Business Park, where it remains. And so, the company duly gathers on the Science Park in what used to be known as the Q-Ton Centre for a spot of lunch and drinks in the finally-arrived balmy weather that is a summer's day. Steve, meanwhile, is to take a few months off before doing "the next thing", whatever that may be. Later in the week, Qualcomm is celebrating the signing of a contract with American telco Sprint, with fizz and orange juice in the Matrix House offices. imgp7406 Trigenix HR bod Wendy turns up with a baby imgp7410 "Power Sprog" Rosie has a lot of hair imgp7413 Wendy heads off imgp7608 Martin D checks the coastline for lost ships imgp7609 Craig grins from the other side of the bar imgp7611 Liam at the Q-Ton bar imgp7614 Steve Ives, and Andrew Clarke in the background imgp7616 Dan chats to Steve imgp7617 Hanging around outside imgp7618 Steve Hunt's got a beer imgp7619 Tim Simpson does his best "Catalogue Man" pose imgp7621 Nick removes his shades in preparation to eat imgp7622 Steve, Dan and Bill imgp7625 Marcello pulls a strange face imgp7627 Craig looks up imgp7628 Marcello chats to Andrew imgp7631 The graphics team, as Lucy tries to hide imgp7632 Steve talks to Craig imgp7636 Craig and Stan have left the building imgp7637 Craig makes a daring dash across Milton Road imgp7638 A sliver of moon imgp7641 Contrails in the sunset imgp7647 Soph-bags sits on Vehicle A imgp7664 The clouds bleed deep red for a few seconds imgp7667 Stef picks a strawberry up imgp7668 Francis looks at nachos imgp7669 Craig and Stef dig in imgp7671 Lucy makes up some more Buck's Fizz imgp7672 Isobel contemplates a strawberry imgp7673 John Scott looks around imgp7674 The Trigenix/Qualcomm gang imgp7676 Isobel hangs around at the back imgp7678 Dan gets some fizz imgp7679 James chats with Liam and Nick imgp7681 Isobel's at the bar imgp7683 Nick gets animated imgp7694 Sophie freaks out in the stubble imgp7695 A combine with a trail of dust imgp7709 The harvest is coming in in the side field imgp7726 A New Holland trundles around imgp8031 The bridge over the river at Syleham, by the mill imgp8033 Sophie in the stubble imgp8046 Sophie surveys the stubble
