Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Mark Carrington

Managing Director, King Trailers

What got you started in transport? I wanted to get into marketing in the vehicle industry, and ended up working for someone who. even after 30 years, is one of the best marketers I've ever known Fred Davies, founder of York Trailers. I learned so much.

What do you love/hate about it? The fact that most Europeans are very patriotic about their products and that the Brit,sh generally couldn't give a jot.

What's your poison?

Not so n-lucl booze as a brilliant Indian restaurant called Kushboo. only a mile from my house.

How do you relax? What does 'relax mean?

What was the last CD you bought? Smokey Robinson. And I'm going to see the Velvelettes next week. It's the original line-up, probably on Zimmer frames!

Football man's game or overhyped nonsense? Ovor-Hypec, nbnsense. Where was your last holiday? India. where I learned some new rules about driving. If there's a holdup. drive up the fast lane the wrong way on the other slcle. The weight limit on axles is reached when the tyres blow out, and the maximum number on a motorbike depends on how big they are but is at least six Does your heart belong to the North or South?

Definitely the South. but it'll be better when our Scottish MPs go back to running Scotland.

Do you have any unfulfilled ambitions?

To get my kids to be as content in their chosen careers as I ye been.

If you ruled the world, what's the first thing you'd change?

I'd shoot all politicians without integrity but then who'd be left to help me?

What makes you happiest in life?

A healthy balance and happy customers who recognise that what I do for them deserves a decent return.
