I joined FGS CEO, Peter Stroud and his guests discussing “the new normal”;

James Hall, Global Storage Chief Technologist at HPE

Frank Purcell, Operational Services Manager at Islington Council

What you cant see is the wine-tasting that followed. Pete sent each of us a case of half-bottles of wine from Berry Bros. It was great.
