Former Holiways mechanic Russ Gibson now runs Aycliffe Dairies and delivers milk, eggs and other fresh produce daily to several firms on Aycliffe Business Park.

So, in our latest issue of Aycliffe Today Business, Russ was our special Coffee Break feature.

3. Best part of your job?
A: Watching a beautiful peaceful sunrise over and over again.

4. Is there anything about your job that you really don’t like?
A: The weather can sometimes be a pain.

5. Favourite thing about working on Aycliffe Business Park?
A: The best thing about working on the business park is the feel of community and businesses supporting each other.

10. Who’s your favourite Tweeter?
A: David Walliams.

11. Have you ever done anything really daring?
A: I’ve done a bungee jump but I would love to do a sky dive.

12. What’s the best piece of business advice you’ve been given?
A: In order to succeed, find a problem that a potential customer needs to buy their way out of, then connect an emotion to it.

13. If money was no object, what would be your ideal car?
A: Bugatti.

14. Money no object, your dream holiday would be?
A: Mauritius.

15. Do you have a favourite band or type of music?
A: Coldplay are my favourite band.

A: The Queen.
