All I know is that the guy's name is Jack Ryland and he's based somewhere on the Dark Side. Many, many years ago, I knew him well from the Gogo Bar scene in the Walking Street area, where he was part-owner of the Windmill Club at one time. He sold that and I didn't hear from him for many years until I bumped into him a few years ago in TukCom. That was when he told me he now has his own building company on the Dark Side, and was enjoying living a normal life after our Gogo Bar years, but I didn't get his details, so I have no idea what the company name is, or where exactly it's based. I've got a job that might suit him and would like to get in touch with him, so I thought I'd ask here on the offchance that somebody has used him and has his phone number. Thanks if you can help, I realise that this is a very long shot.

I live on the Darkside an know of (but never used) a expat owned construction business near me, maybe give them a call and see if this is the guy you're looking for:

Thanks for the suggestion, but Jack is a Brit and the sign says that business is American-owned and managed. If I don't get any more info, though, I might try giving them a call and asking if they know him, it usually pays to know your competitors in business anywhere.

Thanks, but looking at his FB profile he's a Forex trader rather than a builder. Though maybe the building trade had a major downturn during the pandemic and he's changed job, lol.
