James Kight

Managing director, Printerland

Career so far I started at Bang & Olufsen as a junior salesman, then set up the company at 21 as an IT service company. We started selling printers 10 years ago and never looked back.

Do you care about green IT? Very much so, we try to do our bit.

If you could be in a rock/pop band, which one would it be and who would you be? Robbie Williams when he was in Take That (nothing to do with the music; women seem to like him).

What is the best corporate jolly you have ever been on/taken partners on? Dubai with Oki printing solutions, and a Porsche drive in Germany with Lexmark.

Has 2009 been as bad as everyone said it would be? Not at all, we have had our best ever year.

Have any of your predictions come true this year? Yes - Man United sold Ronaldo.

What do you see as the channel's biggest challenge in 2010? Retaining margin and keeping bad debts under control.

What is the best part of your day? The meeting in the pub.
