Thank you for downloading the Bottom Line podcast. In this week's program, Evan Davis

asked his guests about the importance of having the right contacts in business.

Hello and welcome to the bottom line. Now, we often notice our guests here, swapping cards

after the program agreeing to get in touch with each other to talk about this or that.

And it made us wonder about the importance of the right

contacts in business. Is it who you know that counts who you meet as the cliche goes? And why

shouldn't it be? And also on the programme today, we'll hear about our guests' greatest regrets.

But let's start by hearing a little about my guests. First up is Will Butler Adams, managing director of Brompton Bicycle, London-based designer

and manufacturer of, well, it's the famous folding bike.

And Will, it's a fairly old design.

It hasn't changed very much in quite a few years, but you're going to launch an electric bike.

Well, it has changed quite a lot, but not to the sort of untrained eye. It's always sort of doing a little bit of a metamorphosis. But yeah, we're funking it up with a bit of hidden oomph. Right. It's a little battery pack bike that just gives you a bit of power. It's quite cool. It's got a pedal sensor, so you don't go twisting it and whizzing along. You've got a torque sensor in the crank, so without realizing it, when you come to a hill and you start pushing a little bit harder, this magic little battery gives you a little bit of help, and you cruise past the people on their carbon bikes, all covered in Lycra, you know, chortling as you go. So it should be quite fun. Also with us is Charles Cohen,

chief executive of probability PLC, which is a mobile gaming company. You better explain what you do,

Charles. We make gambling games, bingo games, slots games, roulette for mobile phones so people can

play for real money whilst they're sitting on sofa watching the TV.

Your software writers or you're a company that actually takes the stakes, you're a casino?

We're both. So we develop all of the software and the technology in the UK.

And we actually operate our own gambling service. So we take the bets under a licence that we have in Gibraltar.

The unique thing is that it's on mobile phones

because there are a lot of web-based gambling services, aren't there?

I mean, loads and loads of places that you can go and play bingo on the internet.

But we're really the only people who are enabling you to do it on an iPhone.
