After a 20-mile bike ride followed by lunch, I spend a couple of hours working in the afternoon to set myself up for the week ahead.
Staying on top of what’s happening in the business means there are no surprises in my inbox on Monday morning.
I’m in bed by 9pm, ready for my usual wake-up time of 4.30am.
As an ex-sportsman, morning exercise is non-negotiable.
I’m never going to roll out of bed, grab a coffee and get to my desk without walking, lifting or cycling first.
After I’ve checked the bank balance, it’s time for our daily stand-up meeting.
I always knew the final score when I played rugby, and I thrived on that accountability.
I expect clear headline numbers from every department, from credit control to new sales.
Everyone knows what ‘good’ looks like and can ask for time out or support if needed.
After using the same transport management system since 2007, we’ve recently upgraded to Journease Go, a web-based platform that helps streamline booking, planning and communication.
It’s a big change, so I spend the day with the integration team, making sure the rollout stays on track and delivers the improvements we need.
