Edwin being conspicuously indifferent to plenty of cricket
2 minute readGot this ages ago. Didn’t dare ask what ‘OnZud’ meant in case it was something cool that we should have known. However, we also don’t want people to think we haven’t done our editing properly, so we’re having to draw attention to our ignorance in this opening paragraph anyway. Jayne

By defining the hierarchy and outlining key responsibilities for all staff, everyone knows their role and they can all work together to meet key business goals. Team England really needs a corporate motto. That was a link to our latest
