I've just come back from Fiji, speaking at the Compass Pools Conference on eMarketing alongside key note speaker Bob Pritchard.

Whilst Compass Pools has been around for almost 30 years, it is one of the most progressive and forward thinking companies I've had the pleasure of working with. I wish I could say the same about Air Pacific and Qantas. more »
