From Mike Norris declaring he’s “going nowhere” as Computacenter CEO, to Commercial MD Simone Hindmarch unveiling plans to launch an employee-run organic farm, IT Channel Oxygen’s Big Interviews produced some memorable moments in 2024.
Here we round up eight of the best (see all our Big Interviews here).
8. “We’ve always done things before anyone else; the farm is the next thing”
Who said it? Simone Hindmarch, MD of £80m-revenue, Cheltenham-based VAR Commercial
What was she referring to?
Talking exclusively to IT Channel Oxygen in September, Hindmarch revealed that Commercial is planning to exploit the time-saving properties of AI to set up its own staff-run Riverford-style farm.
It has already begun hunting for land to support its vision, which would see staff regularly mucking in during the working week.
“When you have a united team who are purpose driven, it isn’t necessarily being sat at a desk doing what they always do that brings them together. Those binding moments quite often happen outside of the workplace. So it makes sense to do something that brings us together as a community,” she said.
