Appco Group UK stands proud as EAST meets WEST in beautiful London!

Appco Group UK stands proud as Appco Group companies in the East meet companies in the West in the country's capital city – London. Several of APPCO Group Asia’s top performers make their way to the Appco offices in the UK towards the end of May 2011. There were two teams - led by Vice President, James Greaves which included the newly promoted Owners and Assistant Owners from around the region. A third team, led by Regional Head Administrator, Joanne Ng included Recruitment & Administrative Managers representing each country.

The trip proved very educational, not only to learn about the business but to also bond with the other delegates from around the region. Several offices in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Bristol including the APPCO Group headquarters were part of the week long office visits.

Delegates were inspired by many of the Owners met, who have been in the business for years and have powered through very trying times. The Administration team also learnt valuable lessons and new processes that prove useful in improving their administrative duties.

Although the main focal point of this trip was learning, the team managed to squeeze in some down time which included exploring the historical city of London and checking out the night life. This was especially exciting for many of the delegates who have never been to the UK before, as it was a chance to experience and learn about a new culture.

Overall the trip was a fun, educational experience that has left everyone involved with new knowledge and a new sense of direction and purpose.

Appco Group UK and UK cars await the Fastwax phenomenon

Appco Group UK and UK cars are all set to experience the Fastwax phenomenon. Appco Group Prosales which has been actively promoting the product has now earned another feather to its cap. The group has made it to the 45th place in the renowned Business Review Weekly (BRW) Fast 100 list. BRW is known for its accurate ranking of both the public and private fast-growing companies in the Australian continent and annually compiles the Fast 100 list. Companies are ranked on the basis of their business growth and revenue over the last three years, leadership, innovation and entrepreneurial skills.

Having achieved an average annual revenue growth of more than 60 per cent over the past three years and having earned revenue of $8.6 million during the previous year, Appco Group Prosales has registered an incredible growth, thus securing for it a place among the fastest-growing companies in Australia. The happy news that it came in the first 50 companies rated by BRW in the Fast 100 list came soon after he company's ranking in BRW's Fast 100 Starter list earlier in 2010. This is what Ty Pedersen, Prosales Chief Operating Officer, had to say...

"We're very proud of the result. We know it wouldn't be possible without our dedicated team, suppliers and customers, so we extend our thanks. We're looking forward to continuing our growth in Australia and internationally next year and further developing our product range."

The Business Review Weekly maintained that the factors which helped the Fast 100 secure a place in their list were self belief, determination and the ability to change. Thanks to the attitude of the staff at Appco Group Porsales who are ever ready to work hard as well as who are open to changes in the market, Prosales was able to make it to the list.

With Prosales making their way to the country, Appco Group UK is all geared up for a long association.
