““Meeting Colin for the first time…..how to make an impression!” It was a beautiful, cold, crisp with beautiful clear skies February morning and we were walking and talking as we approached the Twickenham stadium to watch England V Ireland…..I was so excited as it was my first game at Twickenham (I usually follow the round ball). We were guests of David Wright at Nicklins and had been well fed and watered (as always!). I then started to have an “out of body experience”, went through the turnstiles and collapsed in a heap on the other side and hit my head on the ground….not a pretty site…….I had had an anaphylactic shock (very unpleasant, I don’t recommend them). So I missed the whole game, as did David, who very kindly watched over me in hospital…… Despite that episode, it was the start of something amazing…..we are so indebted to Colin and Harminder, for all that they have done for me and all of the other HSBC managers that we have pointed in your direction. No nonsense, a keen commercial eye and a desire to get things done….and one of the best hosts around….”
