So I thought it would be interesting if you could give us a couple of examples of successes computerism has had in this area of lobbying.

Mark HolroydGUEST
At the really practical local end that's really relevant to lots of our members is around roadworks, actually.

Mark HolroydGUEST
Out of the blue, you get roadworks appearing outside your business in the peak time of year and you don't know what to do and you get on the phone to the Cumbria tourism team, and they've got great relationships with utility companies and the local authorities.

Mark HolroydGUEST
And when these challenges come in, they can be straight in there, talking their language and helping to try to resolve those issues and help those different organisations understand why timing matters for the tourism sector.
