BEST MOMENTS "The reward for good work is more work... I just don't need to work behind a desk" "I think if you don't do it, you've already failed. You've just got to fail quickly, take the learnings from it, and go again" "I never dream that we’d basically overtake Cadbury... but then when we got into the top 20 of confectionery. We overtook Twix and stuff. I had no idea how many Twixes were selling, but I was surprised we were selling more."
