What this says
Current to 10 Oct 26Finance Director Gareth Whitlam accepted a Tuesday 10:00 renewal call but wants per-person usage over the last year, asked who from BB-Demo attends, and is not minded to agree any rise without a reason for his board.
Ask: Gareth wants a clear answer on what Brackwell is paying for, with usage per person over the last year, not a feature list.
Customer view: He is not minded to agree any rise without a reason he can put to his board, and wants the right person present if pricing is discussed.
Next: Marcus needs to prepare twelve-month per-person usage, bring a pricing owner and confirm the call before the term ends on 30 Nov 2026.

- Marcus Bell 4 Sep 2026 08:16Hi Gareth, Following my note earlier this week about the renewal, I'd like to get a call in the diary so we can go through usage and what you need from the brain before the term ends on 30 Nov 2026. I could do any of these: - Tuesday at 10:00 - Wednesday at 14:30 - Thursday at 09:00 Half an hour should be enough. I'll share my screen and show you the usage by team and by person, so you can see what's being used and what isn't. If none of those work, give me a couple of slots that do and I'll move things around. Thanks, Marcus
- Gareth Whitlam 4 Sep 2026 08:26Marcus, Tuesday at 10:00 works. I've read your earlier email and the contract summary. What I still don't have is a clear answer to what exactly we are paying for. A list of features won't do. Show me the usage, per person, over the last year, not just this quarter. Also, who is on the call from your side? If pricing is going to be discussed, I'd rather it is the right person in the room and not a second call. I should say now that I'm not minded to agree to any rise without a reason I can put in front of my board. Gareth Whitlam, Finance Director
