James Kight

CEO, Printerland.co.uk

What has been your business highlight of 2022?

Seeing the rapid growth in our managed print and contract business.

If you were ruler of your own country, what law would you introduce first?

I'd outlaw negative thinking and talking yourself down.

Which channel or tech leader (outside of your own company) has impressed you most in 2022?

None of them. I'm too busy to worry about anyone else but I'm sure they're all very good.

If you had a warning label, what would it say?

"Warning! Do not ask to work from home."

What was your first job?

I worked in an ironmongers for £10 per day which was an amazing wage for the time.

What was the last book you read, and was it any good?

How to Quit Alcohol in 50 Days. Any good? Well, it hasn't worked!

What's the most important lesson you've learned from another business leader or mentor?

Be humble. Treat everyone equally both on the way up and on the way down.

Who would play you in a movie of your life?

Liam Gallagher. He'd find it really easy because I model myself on him!
