Ive done 27k this year and never seen those cool lorries... awesome!

They have over 200 trailers so I'm surprised! Best place to catch one is between Sheffield and Leicester on the M1

Never mind "black ice" how about "choc ice"!!  :laugh:

I have 4 of my own businesses, with more in the pipeline too:

1.) Venture capital/fund raising for biotech/pharma/renewable energy companies
2.) Renewable energy product development/commercialisation
3.) Import/export of traditional greek foodstuff (can import/export anything, but just focusing on the Greek stuff at present)
4.) Trade finance - lending money to businesses, mostly manufacturing businesses that rely on stock turnover for production of their goods

....Hey Chris, are you Greek? - You could be - You have the look, and if running several businesses, the attitude! You know I'm half Greek? I buy Kalamata Olive Oil in large tins.

Hey Robin, nope not Greek, but my business partner is - hence the Greek connection at present! His family own olive groves and have the contacts for really traditional Greek foods, which we are hoping to export to the UK. At the moment we're hunting for buyers so I'm in contact with some large wholesale/catering companies!
