I have a business partner, Brian. Some people say you shouldn’t go into business with other people, but for us it’s worked fine. We worked together years and years ago and both of us know what the other one’s good at and it fits really well.

We don’t have debates publicly because then it’s a bit like backing a horse: do I back Fiona or do I back Brian? Also, if one of us gets something wrong we don’t go beating the other one up. We can look at recruitment or contacts and say you shouldn’t have done that, but there’s no point dwelling on it because that just builds up resentment. It’s all about moving forward.
