About a week ago, I received an email from Wayne Hulls, Asia Pacific Regional Manager for HSL (Hays Systems Ltd), enquiring about a product HBI Software in Bangalore produces. Wayne is based in Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand. I had not heard of, or from, Wayne before.
Two days later I was to learn from a wholly unconnected source that Wayne was taking part in the UK Trade & Investment Mobile and Wireless Mission to Hong Kong & Taiwan from 16th - 20th April. John Beer, my UK partner in Pingar, was I knew taking part in the same mission. John was both a key speaker, but also there to acquire content from regional content owners as well as opening discussions with mobile operators.
This Sunday, I had dinner with David Simons, a visiting RFID specialist from the UK. Whilst we were talking, David mentioned that he hoped to meet up with an old and very cool NZ contact he had worked with in Dubai, whilst visiting the South Island this week. The person as you might now guess was Wayne Hulls.
I picked up my mobile and phoned John in Hong Kong. "Have you met this guy, Wayne Hulls?" I asked. "I am actually speaking to him at the moment", John replied. I handed the mobile over to David and said. "Wayne is on the line. You might as well firm up that South Island meet-up right now!"
They are meeting up next weekend in Queenstown.
