This week we are especially excited to interview Jack Perry, former Chief Exec of Scottish Enterprise 2003-2009. Having brought about many positive changes at SE, he is now running Perry- Net Limited and serves on the board of Robert Wiseman Dairies (check your fridge). Born in the states but settled in the UK, Jack has a cool accent and is a delightfully friendly guy. One of our favourite quirky facts as well!
