Since B4 was launched nearly two years ago, we have tried to bring new ideas to the magazine in order to keep it fresh and interesting.

This issue sees the introduction of some real heavyweights in the shape of Oxford University, Brookes University, Saïd Business School, Revenue and Customs, Microsoft and Nominet. We are delighted that B4 has been recognised by these welcome additions as a platform for promoting news and events, and we look forward to a long and successful working relationship.

A tornado arrives at B4’s offices, a man with a purpose in life and nothing is going to stop him. It is hard to imagine a more single-minded, focused human being. But this guy won’t sweep all before him without listening. Honest, straight and true to his word, if you’ve got something to say, tell him – he won’t bite your head off – and he will be the first to concede if things aren’t working. With three year old son Murdoch and one year old Maverick, this is the type of guy you’d expect to be able to tell if a plan isn’t coming together, Darbys very own A-Team. Yes - this guy is a lawyer. He is the new Managing Partner at Darbys Solicitors in Oxford.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life   Clinton Pugh
