10 things about... Martyn Best

Martyn Best, Managing Director

1. What would you put into Room 101?
Politicians who have not made the time or effort to understand how our world works, and ramble on without any real idea of what they are talking about, or aware of the real-life implications of their decisions.

2. What's your favourite book?
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom - for the wisdom and joy it gives on every read.

3. Who would be your ideal dinner guest?
The guy who knows who really shot JFK, so that he could tell us the truth.

4. Describe yourself in 5 words:
Optimistic, enthusiastic, energetic, hopeful, thoughtful

5. Which business figure do you admire the most?
Felix Dennis, in a strange way, as he has bounced back from many personal and business adversities yet is still crazy, irreverent, but successful

6. Favourite Sunday roast:
Roast turkey with cranberry and apple sauce and home-made stuffing

7. Favourite headline:
Everton triumph in sensational Champions' League comeback (Err, sometime in the future)

8. What album/song are you currently listening to?
DJ Tigerstyle. He's 3x World scratching champ (think Fat Boy Slim meets 21st century hip-hop) and he's playing at the Everton Tigers game on 14th November after his Carling gig the night before.

9. What's your comedy phobia?
Probably bumping into ex-girlfriends in inappropriate circumstances - i.e. when I'm with my lovely wife.

10. Favourite cheese?
Creamy stilton, with a vintage port, and a few friends who enjoy the same.
