I’d like help with…
Understanding how businesses are reassuring their shareholders that they're going to be ready for the copper telephone switch-off.
An interesting, or unusual fact(s) about me…
I actually believe what the Bible says about life, death, business and human nature. Strange, isn't it, that we live in an age where this is a minority position?
I live in
GB
A career highlight
Being in the right place at the right time, having pulled an all-industry coalition together to give the incoming Coalition government a ready-made plan to re-start the house-building industry.
