What’s currently having the greatest
impact on your business?
The impact of Brexit is still yet to be fully
understood and it will be some time before
anyone really has a clear view – even if/when it
will happen! Although we have still managed to
grow our sales again, which is good in a tough
environment.
Where do you see the next big
opportunity?
Our channel partners are well placed to make
the most of their excellent relationship in selling
managed print to expand their portfolio into
managed content services (MCS). The amount
of information we have access to now is
unprecedented, and companies are crying out
for help to manage all the content they have.
What would make your day job easier?
Another five hours a day!
What’s the best bit of business advice
you’ve been given?
Either do it or don’t do it, nothing in between.
Procrastination slows down good business
momentum.
If you had had a crystal ball, would you
have done anything differently?
Get hold of the crystal ball earlier in my life.
Describe your most embarrassing
moment.
Not able to.
What was your first job?
A paper round.
What would be your dream job?
Sometimes I miss the stress-free paper round!
Fine dining and good wine, or curry
and a pint?
My choice would be a good pint and fine wine
paired with a packet of crisps or pizza.
Motto: spend the money on the wine.
Money’s not an issue, what’s your
perfect car … and where would you like to
drive it?
While I have no strong desire re: cars, an Audi
R8 would be nice. I would like to drive anywhere
without traffic and speed cameras and not to
work!
Favourite holiday destination.
My favourite country has to be Turkey which I’ve
been visiting for a number of years. Croatia is
beautiful too. However, it’s all about the company
when it comes to the perfect holiday.
How do you like to spend your spare time?
I’m a season ticket holder at Brentford and also
like quality time with family.
