I worked with Mike for a decade during his time at Matsu and can honestly say there was never a dull day working with Mike!
In our early days at Matsu, as a fellow but younger Michael, I was nicknamed 'little Mike' to his 'Big Mike' and tasked with learning the ropes in sales with 'Big Mike' as a mentor, so am forever grateful for the time he invested in supporting me.
What a fun character he was to work with, brimming with energy and enthusiasm and an endless interest in other people, which I think in part was his secret to success in sales.
Most of all I will remember him for his brilliant sense of humour, as someone else has commented, the joy on Mike's face has he erupted into laughter at a joke (often his own) was a wonderful site.
RIP Mike
