      In this exclusive research report we take a look at how vendors, distributors and VARs are adapting to the new world of subscription-based "as a service" delivery.

      How do MSPs really feel the channel will shape up by 2020?

       47 per cent of MSPs questioned in exclusive research by CRN, said they were planning for further organic growth in the year ahead, with 18 per cent keen to collaborate with peers over the next 12-24 months. Unsurprisingly, 39 per cent of those same respondents were also convinced Brexit would have the biggest impact on their plans for the coming year.

I can't say that I've ever disliked a job; I must love work. 

Which actor would you pick to play you in a movie of your life?

Al Pacino. I'm sure he'd want to spend time with me to understand me; I would learn a lot about myself.

What do you do as your party trick?

Fooling myself, thinking I'll be ok tomorrow.

What is your favourite chocolate bar?

None; I don't have a sweet tooth.

What has been your career high point to date?

Receiving the ICT Person of the Year award last year.

Has 2014 been a good, bad or ugly year?

It's been a great year; we've relocated two warehouses, three offices and should deliver the best results in CMS's history and the economy is looking good for the future.

How would you explain the IT channel to a stranger without boring them to death?

I wouldn't - I'd give them a CRN subscription and let them read all about it.

Aside from the channel, my dream career would be... playing 1,000 games for Arsenal.

What major issues will the channel face in 2015?

I think it will be good, with a lack of innovation perhaps.
