I would like to thank my wife, Michaela, for her assistance with editing this book and her patience and understanding during the many hours that I left her alone while I sat in front of the PC to write another few pages.
Thanks to my family, friends and colleagues who have given me encouragement along the way.
I am also grateful to HM Revenue and Customs, Business Link, The Food Standards Agency, ACAS, The Portman Group, The Performing Right Society, Phonographic Performance Limited, and The Health and Safety Executive, for assistance with my research for this book.
