In this issue we feature a recent interview with Andy van der Velde, CEO of Berco Express in Johannesburg. Andy recently went with 10 other South African’s to the North Pole, the country’s first ever team to make the trip. Read the interview to discover how it changed Andy’s life and gave him a new perspective on teamwork, whilst challenging him as an individual to the limit. Dr Robert Swaim examines Drucker’s views on CEO pay, do they earn too much?

We’ll be back with our next issue at the start of August, a special edition featuring women in business, with some great interviews, articles and advice. This is a “must read” for both sexes!
