Cube Corner - October 20 Welcome to this month’s Cube Corner. Is it just me or is this year just flying by? With all the challenges

across the business world, the months
are racing past. It has been an interesting
month catching up with my clients,
many of whom are still working on a hybrid of home and office schedule,
which certainly doesn’t look like it will change in the immediate future.
I am sure I am not the only one - I have a perfectly fine home set up - but I
miss the daily interaction of colleagues at the various companies I work with.
Luckily I have a hot desk availability with Vince and the team at Rivervale, which helps as I am in there 2 or 3 times a
week. I would be interested to see how

With another lockdown now in progress it looks like another month of online
meetings. Rivervale have had to close the showroom to retail customers but continue to operate remotely for the
sales team and it is business as usual in the service and MOT Centre. The

weeks. Hopefully we can all get back
together and network safely in the not too distant future. Paul
