  1. Note for Nigel,

    Very much enjoyed meeting on Yorkshire Day but I don’t have an e-mail address for you that works and I would like to get some notes re. the marketing exercise to you.
    Appreciate your e-mailing me back so I have the right details in my contacts list and can send the notes over to you.

    All the best
    Steve
