Robbie Bain is a freelance transport finance analyst. We've loved the guy from the first time we met him maybe ten or 12 years ago because he's good company, candid and fearless. He obviously lives by the adage that if you want a loyal friend you get a dog. It also helps that he's well-qualified etc.
