A football fan or not, no one can deny the huge impact the World Cup hashad on our lives over the past 3 weeks. The eager anticipation of the gloryto come in the weeks leading up to our first game, followed by bitterdisappointment as those dreams were shattered.

The game has over 280 players all competing for the main prize and it’stough at the top; the tables turn every single day with no clear winner soit’ll be great to see who does claim the glory on the 13th July.

We’ll be announcing the winner via our Social Media portals and contactingyou directly if you’ve won. If you haven’t signed up yet, it isn’t too late; jointoday and your score will be based on an average of the previous games(which is far better than my score!).

Exertis Gem is once again a proud sponsor of the infamous GamesAid Golfand Spa Day at the Grove on the 17th July. The event is now in its 7th yearand has been a huge success, raising a phenomenal £48,000 last year. I’mkeeping my fingers crossed for good weather but either way it will be ablast, enjoy!

Hive, by British Gas

Last month, we announced an exciting collaboration with British Gas, the UK’s leading energy supplier, to distribute Hive Active Heating™.

Launched in October 2013, Hive, by British Gas, puts people in control of their energy use and couldsave households up to £150 a year by allowing them to heat their homes and water only when theyneed to. Combining previous heating innovation from British Gas with a range of new features, Hive Active Heating™ is a service that lets people control their heating and hot water remotely from a smartphone, tablet, SMS, or via a website.

Kassir Hussain, Director of Connected Homes at British Gas, comments: “Already, 80,000 households in the UK are controlling their heating and hot water from their mobile devices with Hive Active Heating,saving up to £150 a year on their energy bills. Based on customer feedback we’ve recently added an optional Geolocation feature – it knows from your smartphone’s location services when you’re on yourway home or are heading out, and prompts you to turn the heating off or on. This is what the futurelooks like, with smart home technology offering customers greater control, convenience and ultimatelycomfort in their homes.”

Exertis Gem are proud to have been selected as one of the only official distributors of Hive, by BritishGas. Danielle Barker, Consumer Electronics Category Manager for Exertis Gem, comments “ConnectedHome technology is a pivotal focus for Exertis Gem. The brands we work with have been carefully selected to best align us to the demands of consumers and, therefore, our customers. Hive, by BritishGas, puts the consumer fully in control of their heating offering a smart way to save money on theirhousehold bills and we’re extremely excited to have been selected by British Gas to supply what I’m sure will be a very popular product.”

So, Steven, tell us what you have been doing forthe past nine years...I have mainly been working in various businessdevelopment roles. After leaving the Indies I became a funded head for first Prima and then Microsoft. My primary focus was to launch into various non-traditional areas.

Key successes during this time included the opening of trading relationships with accounts such as Marks and Spencers, Next, Boots, CO-OP and several Catalogues who at that time were buying through a different channel.

After a few years it was clear that the catalogue businesswarranted extra focus and so we set up a departmentdedicated to catalogue sales which is where I have beenever since.

Has much changed since you were last involvedwith the Indies?Sadly many of the small chains are no longer trading but I still recognise many accounts that were around when I was last on the department. Full respect to those as it’s an extremely competitive market out there.

As for the team itself there are two account managers,Sarah Champ and Chief Wiggam (Adrian Fairbrother) that were around when I was last involved. In additionPaul Langley works with me on catalogues who was alsoinvolved in the initial set up of the Indie department.

We have kind of named ourselves “The Expendables”!!

We have also merged the Business team into thedepartment and so I am currently swatting up on allthings non-gaming!

What do you think you can add to the team?We are in a very fortunate position to have exclusivetrading agreements with several key Partners includingMicrosoft Xbox, Take 2, Ubisoft, Roku and Livescribe, and ‘Official Distributor’ status for Turtle Beach.

It is my aim to ensure that we meet their expectation bymaximising sales within the Indie market. In addition we also trade with publishers such as Nintendo, Konami andSquare who have an open distribution policy.

By focusing on our service levels and relationships I wantExertis Gem to be viewed as the distributor of choice byour customers.

So when you are not at work, what floats your boat?I am a keen (but not very able these days) Rugby playerand currently Captain of the Essex Bishops; an over 35’sinvitational team made up of players from several Essexclubs who play matches for charity.

Last year we took part in Ruggerthon where we played 26half hour matches over four days and raised over 20k forthe Injured Players Foundation.

Rugby aside I do love a game of online chess and can be challenged by logging onto REDHOTPAWN.COM, My username is Mister Biggins (don’t ask).
