The importance of technology – and pride – in our industry

Our guest in this episode of OPI Talk is Simon Drakeford, CEO of the UK’s EO Group. Simon has been at the helm of this multi-faceted but deeply technology-rooted company for about 14 years. Fiercely passionate about the business supplies industry, he also extends that involvement beyond EO Group with his current Chairmanship of UK trade federation BOSS. 

 OPI’s CEO Steve Hilleard recently caught up with Simon for our Big Interview in the July/August issue of OPI. This is an extract from the interview. For more information on topics such as EO Group’s latest financial results, the continued – and impressive – resilience of the independent dealer channel and ongoing progress at BOSS, make sure you are subscribed to OPI.
