Pax8 is “absolutely in this to build a large-cap company”, CEO Scott Chasin has emphasised as he talked through its efforts to put clear water between itself and its peer group. The cloud commerce marketplace caused a stir last month when it ran a full-page advert in the New York Times goading TD Synnex and Ingram Micro for “selling the past”.

Entitled “They Were Wrong”, the advert – attributed to CEO Scott Chasin – argued that commentators had been wrong to position Pax8 as a distributor in its early days.

I see lots of people calling out firms for poor customer service on here. So it's only right that I call out @thetrainline for the opposite. They gave me a full refund on the (non-refundable) tickets I bought to get to a funeral that was subsequently postponed. Thank you! 👏👏
Attempts to get the boy into 90s music by stealth, via watching repeats of Trigger Happy TV, backfired. The one song he singled out (and is now playing upstairs on repeat) is the decidedly 70s 'If You Could Read My Mind' by Gordon Lightfoot
