The Big Interview in the special 30th anniversary issue of OPI – which will be published shortly – is none other than Mike Gentile, CEO of Independent Suppliers Group (ISG), the US’s – and the world’s – largest cooperative for independent resellers in the business supplies community.

- What’s new with ISG’s EPIC Business Essentials national accounts programme?
- What does Gentile think about the breadth of product that wholesalers offer into the independent dealer channel?
