Dear Treasured Readers,
It all started off as a joke, when we discussed running a competition for “Matt’s holiday friend”. We then realized that there are probably many people needing a vacation and a companion – and so it was born…
The prize
A week’s vacation with Matt, founder, owner and Principal Consultant of purpleplanet – Software Solutions. You will need to pay for your own flight, but accommodation will be covered. Food and drink…well, we can discuss that too, I’m sure! Read More
