April sees The Gadget Show live descended once more on the NEC. As I’m always looking for new products for incentivise-me it seemed an excellent way of spending a working day.

Now, it has been said, and rightly so, that I can get a little over enthusiastic when it comes to shiny stuff with plugs. So in order to stay professional (and prevent my anorak from bursting with excitement) Rachel came with me.

We spent a brilliant morning revelling in all that is gadgetty and saw some fantastic products and innovations. What struck me most was the move towards household electronics as art, form following style rather than function, there were some truly stunning pieces of equipment that were amazing before you even plugged them in!

So now I’m back in the office, chatting to suppliers that we met and working to get new products onto incentivise-me, it’s all in a day’s work at The Phoenix Partners.
