The move to a subscription-based selling model.
What three things could you not live without?
1. My flat by the sea as I love the coastline. 2. My cars as they are my babies. 3. Wi-Fi in hotels so I can keep on top of work when travelling.

Good year - turnover is up, profit percentage is up by more than turnover, we continued to invest in training and growing our key publisher relationships.
If you didn't work in the IT channel, what would you do?
Be a rubbish classic car dealer, as I'd find it difficult to sell the nicer cars.
