Do you meet people online?

Here in the office, if I want to speak with someone I go to see them. Personal contact is so superior to email or communicating on some electronic device.

What’s your favourite iTune?

I have no idea what iTunes is but I love classical music. I like to go and see it in two of my firm’s great jewels in the crown, Snape Maltings concert hall in East Anglia and Glyndebourne opera house in Sussex.

What do you want from a mobile device?

The gadgets are hugely important. I want big buttons because at my age my thumbs are getting thick.

What’s your TV choice?

I love wildlife programmes – seeing the impact of technology to bring amazing encounters to the screen.

Do you use mobile email?

My BlackBerry is intrusive but very convenient!
