commentLast week, I enjoyed a most enlightening lunch with Moira Clarke at Henley Business School. Moira is a recognised expert on customer experiences and delivering customer excellence.

commentBack in 2002, I was inconvenienced by a call from my bank manager in response to an email request I’d made. I often rue this fateful email that changed my life.
