Nice one Steve, glad you managed to close the deal that started way back with that chat in the UK. Lucas is a talented guy and I look forward to seeing what he can bring to the growing team at Euro.
This cracks me up.

Steve Coll seems to be quietly building something at Euro, will be interesting to see how it turns out. Looks promising.

Meh – i find it weird he has work on his site that he had nothing to do with.
