Phil Doye

Chief executive, Kelway (UK)

Career so far I've been at Kelway for 20 years.

Do you care about green IT? Do I want our customers to reduce their carbon footprint? Yes! Do I want them to more regularly replace their IT infrastructure with the newest technology? Absolutely! Is this a contradiction? Probably!

If you could be in a rock/pop band, which one would it be and who would you be? I have a good imagination but it doesn't stretch to seeing myself in a rock band.

What is the best corporate jolly you have ever been on/taken partners on? This year's Cisco Conference in Boston.

Has 2009 been as bad as everyone said it would be? In a general sense, yes. However, it has still been successful through us concentrating on new technologies and new markets. Necessity is the mother of invention is a phrase that has been true for us this past year.

Have any of your predictions come true this year? Unfortunately not. Arsenal let me down again but I remain positive!

What do you see as the channel's biggest challenge in 2010? Prematurely thinking the market has recovered and as a result, making poor decisions.

What is the best part of your day? Following the earlier question about green IT, I have recycled last years answer to the same question! Most of my day is mostly good.
