Managing director, Aindale BMS; Chairman, Network Group
Which tech figurehead do you admire the most?
Elon Musk. He has inspirational ideas and vision, from Tesla to space travel. I want to ensure I take a trip in all his successes.
What's the biggest challenge facing the industry no-one is talking about yet?
The ‘gap' being generated as resellers move more to MSP and service-only models, of physical equipment sales, likely to be left to the larger organisations which could lead to a squeeze in the future for the same reseller community as the kit sellers cross-sell the MSP services as a single supplier.

Nelson Mandela, John F Kennedy and Robin Williams.
How has 2017 been for you?
Dynamic, eventful but most of all fulfilling.
What's the most extravagant business lunch you've ever had?
Lunch at the Ivy with two business colleagues. The wine alone… you don't want to know!
Which global city best matches your personality?
Las Vegas. It's active 24/7, always up for a game, a gamble and a risk, and never dull.
What would be your super-hero power?
Time travel. I'd love to see my Dad again… and see if he wants to come to Vegas, too!
Complete this sentence. The worst thing about our rivals is… we have not caught up for a beer recently.

Only one thing: heights. The top of a ladder and beyond is a definite no.

Fresh fish - cooked to perfection.
