He said that, despite the internet’s emergence over that period as a global engine room of commerce, he has always prided himself on the personal touch.
“We like to keep it one-to-one with our clients,” he said.
“Being able to demonstrate products to people is one of the things I enjoy about the job.”
Despite spending so long at the company, 47-year-old Mr Bamford said he has no plans to move on just yet!
