Each week Swindon Business News gives a prominent member of the area’s business community the last word on its weekly e-bulletin.
This week Chris Brazil, managing director, iDeal Displays, answers our 10 questions.
What was the LAST: 
Film you watched? The Hobbit. It’s a truly epic film with many unforgettable battle scenes. It captures the imagination and really inspires with its stunning set designs.
Book you read? My busy schedule doesn’t give me much time to sit down with a good book. But the new iDeal Displays catalogue is a captivating read – if that counts!
Music you bought? I travel around the country lot, so I bought The Trevor Nelson Collection 3 as something upbeat is essential. It’s a great mix of R&B through the ages with classics from Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson.
Concert you went to? Through the nature of iDeal Displays’ work I’ve been fortunate enough to work on events such as V-Festival in recent years.
Sporting event you attended? I worked at and attended the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It’s one of my favourite events of the year and one I always look forward to.
Holiday you went on? For my first holiday in four years, I went to Turkey this summer. It was absolutely wonderful to get away, soak up the sun and relax.
Restaurant you ate in? Biplop, the Indian restaurant in Swindon. I recently installed its new signage. It was great to be involved with a much-loved and thriving local business.
Thing that annoyed you? At work I try to avoid letting my emotions get in the way, but I do find poor service very frustrating.
Thing that made you laugh out loud? My friends at the weekend. I always try to make time at the weekends to catch up with my friends and family. Everybody needs some downtime.
Piece of good advice you were given? Time is the most valuable commodity you have. Spend it wisely.
