We’re delighted to have lined up a prestigious panel of judges for this year’s edition – see page 37 for the first in a two-part, meet the judges feature. As the UK slowly comes out of lockdown and restrictions are beginning to be eased, many of us are looking forward to being able to return to life in the new normal. This month, we asked a panel of industry veterans for their thoughts on what the post- pandemic workplace will look like (page 40). In this issue, Paul North, Head of Regional Sales for CityFibre’s Wholesale team picks the work tools he uses every day and couldn’t do his job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with Tarek Meliti, Co-founder and CEO, TDM Group and PITR spent 60 seconds with Elise McFarlane, Product Portfolio Marketing Manager, Field Service Division, ECI Software Solutions.
