Visbion hosts inaugural International Partner Meeting
Foxhills Resort Hotel and Golf Course in Surrey provided the picturesque setting for Visbion's inaugural International Partner Meeting in January.
Distributors from the UK, Ireland, Europe, Middle East and Asia attended the meeting to find out what Visbion has planned for the year ahead. With an opening address by Visbion's Chairman Richard Kitney, Haydn Knight, Global Channel Manager and Mark O'Herlihy, Commercial Director went on to present Visbion's new products and initiatives, all designed to enhance mutual growth through the partner network and across all markets - healthcare, veterinary and life sciences.
An open forum at the end of the day was designed to encourage feedback from the guests and provided an opportunity to share their thoughts openly and to raise any issues or outstanding questions.
"The Partner Meeting is very much about two way communication" said Haydn Knight. "We want to hear what Visbion is doing well and as importantly, what we could do better. Our aim is to continue to build strong and successful partnerships with each and every one of our distributors and provide them with first class support and service"
Nanno Mulder, AIS Information Services, Holland commented “This was a unique experience and very valuable, I learnt a lot about Visbion and their plans for the future. They are an innovative and exciting company to work with and this is what makes our relationship so successful”.
After a lively dinner and a night in the luxurious hotel, the Visbion Partner Golf Challenge took place the following day on Foxhills' 18 hole championship course. The winner of the day was Aiden O'Reilly, MD of Medray Imaging Systems, Ireland.
