Last Issue's Winner

Congratulations to Daniel Holden a forensic accountant at Deloitte & Touche who is the winner of our first business guru competition.

His suggestion that staff should spend time working on a market stall to learn the realities of selling was a great example of approaching business from a different angle.

'Too many of us are strong on theory but never actually meet real consumers. Having done it myself, I can tell you it's a real eye opener,' he comments.

Thanks Dan. Your Panasonic X700 video phone handset is on its way.
