Dualtron of the future of cash.

Do you remember in business when cash was king? Well, that was

pre-Covid, and it didn’t take long for us to switch almost totally to card or

phone payments.

That’s good news for my next guest Dave Byrne, who founded his

company, Dualtron thirty years ago, so back in the days of crinkly pound notes,

and for younger listeners, before the Euro there was The Pound.

His 'hire in a heartbeat'? Mary Portas, the ethical
