George Best, Vera Duckworth and Liam Gallagher.

Not setting my alarm for the morning.
Which tech figurehead has inspired you most this year, and why?
None of them. Don't worry about what others are doing, concentrate on your own business.
What piece of technology, or app, have you not been able to do without during the pandemic?
Google Analytics. It's been amazing seeing how resilient we've been under such crazy circumstances.
If you could be anyone else for a week, who would you be and what would you do?
Boris Johnson. It would be a great insight into what real working pressure is about.

No, They are a waste of time. I've never been to a productive meeting.
How will COVID leave its mark on the way the channel operates long term?
I think over time it will return to normal, and that includes meetings!
