Cliff was always the distant manager type to me when I worked for Demon, but I knew Sylvia well - working with her in the Demon web-site team. Cliff made sure he helped his employees with the sale of Demon - we all basically had stock. I met my wife at Demon and we got a mortgage with the money from the sale. I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am and in the career I have had I not taken a punt on the new-fangled internet thing at Demon in 1995.
Cheers Cliff
