What’s currently having the greatest impact
on your business?
Technology, there isn’t one part of our business that
isn’t affected by technological advances.
Where do you see the next big opportunity?
Although not new, there are still huge opportunities
within Education, Technology, Facilities Supplies
and PPE/Workwear together with Managed Print
Services and general print management.
Medical Supplies is also something we are
looking at currently. With a group as large as
Integra, there is never one big opportunity but
multiple opportunities, which we are continually
exploring with existing and new partners.
What would make your day job easier?
More hours in the day, fewer emails and longer
weekends!
What’s the best bit of business advice
you’ve been given?
Keep focused, work hard, play hard. The best one
thought ‘They can kill you but they can’t eat you’.
If you had had a crystal ball, would you
have done anything differently?
You can’t live your life with regrets; my focus
is on the future and making sure we explore
the opportunities open to us as a dealer group
and how to turn any negatives and challenging
situations into positives.
Describe your most embarrassing moment.
So many over the years, no one thing springs to
mind although with hindsight, I’ve given some
rubbish speeches!
What was your first job?
Paper boy and my first serious job was in
publishing.
What would be your dream job?
Long haul pilot.
Fine dining and good wine, or curry
and a pint?
Fine dining and good wine.
Money’s not an issue, what’s your
perfect car… and where would you
like to drive it?
Aston Martin to the Amalfi Coast.
Favourite holiday destination.
Anywhere with the kids and my wife.
How do you like to spend your spare
time?
Flying single engine planes – badly.
