This year, appearing on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme and being interviewed by John Humphries.

My wife (too important to be left out), my iPhone and my wife's phone when I have lost mine!
What has been your most embarrassing moment so far?
Joe Hemani pretending he was the cleaner in a customer meeting in my early days at Westcoast.

What would be your first act if you were made Prime Minister?
Ban TCP! Or maybe ensure that the UK had THE very best connectivity available across the whole country.

Good - but not fantastic. However, Westcoast continues to go from strength to strength and delivering growth in a tough and highly competitive market.
If you didn't work in the IT channel, what would you do?
TV game show host - Come on down!
