  • HP Europe boss on the future of cyber-threats to businesses | Boardroom Uncovered
    Dec 10 2025

    Cyber attacks on UK firms are not just likely - they’re inevitable, the Northern European boss of HP has warned in the latest episode of City AM’s Boardroom Uncovered podcast.

    Speaking to UK Editor Jon Robinson, Neil Sawyer said businesses must shift from reactive fixes to proactive defence.

    They also dig into why 2025 has seen a surge in high-profile breaches - from retail to luxury - and why there’s “no magic remedy” in the pipeline.

    The boss of HP also details what firms need to do now, how to future-proof against evolving threats, and why staying ahead could be the only way to survive the next decade of cyber-storms.

    Boardroom Uncovered is also available in video format as well.

  • From Newcastle to New York? Why Sage isn’t swapping London for the US | Boardroom Uncovered
    Nov 6 2025

    In this episode of Boardroom Uncovered, City AM UK Editor Jon Robinson sits down with the CEO of Sage Group to unpack the challenges faced by UK-listed tech companies and the reasoning behind the FTSE 100 giant’s decision to remain headquartered in the UK.

    With the company boasting a global reach and nearly 40 per cent of its shares held by US funds, the conversation explores why a move to the Nasdaq (or another US listing) isn’t currently on the cards.

    At the same time, the CEO argues that London-listed firms are undervalued in part because they fail to tell a compelling, consistent growth story, and because peer groups are thin in the UK market.

    He stresses that access to capital isn’t the issue for Sage - but the perception of value and the comparative narrative are.
