Appco Group Finance Meeting 2010 discusses important issues

The Appco Group Finance Meeting 2010, held at the Appco Group headquarters in London recently, discussed relevant issues relating to business and finance. The meet was hosted by the Appco Group Finance Academy and offered advice to delegates on efficient techniques to build a financially stable business. Managing Directors and Administrators of Marketing Companies affiliated to the Company took part in the meeting, which had as key speakers Appco Group Chairman Chris Niarchos, Managing Director Mike Blane and Vice Presidents Simon Murphy and Michael Scully. All of them stressed on the need of having interactive sessions and made sure that the meeting had enough of such sessions. The discussions at the meeting took a back-to-basics approach and the emphasis was on the importance of constructing a plan of attack and breaking down goals.

“You should have a regular plan where everyone involved is on the same page. Consequently you will find that you can stop problems before they occur”, said Mike Blane, Managing Director, Appco Group, while speaking about the need for financial planning in order to troubleshoot.

Appco Group US and its Marketing Companies would no doubt get benefited out of such regular meetings, which help company personnel see things from a clearer perspective.

Appco Group US receives fundraising license for New York operations

Appco Group US has received the fundraising license for operations in New York.

The New York Attorney General recently granted the license, allowing Appco Group US to officially venture into the field for fundraising. Ever since the company began operations in the US, in September, efforts have been on to organize details and plan movements all across America. Immediately after receiving the license, the company started on work for fundraising for its first client in the charities sector, a prominent organization. The cold weather didn't prevent the very energetic and goal-oriented professionals from getting out onto the field.

Of course the company is in its initial stages on American soil, but work is going all smooth and hopes and aims are high. “ This is a relieving end to a very long process. Our focus is now firmly on success in the field and recruitment. I am looking forward to our anniversary in 2015 when we can all remember this 1st day in the field...”, says Kerry Johnstone, Chief Operating Officer, Appco Group, for the Americas.
