Dutch delegates visit Singapore

October saw twenty five delegates from around Europe fly into Singapore for a week to attend the Owners Meeting hosted by Vice President (VP) James Greaves. As the head of the region, James and his team at Appco Group Asia had 3 days of ‘Premier Club’, Owners meetings & Management Meetings organised which provided a mix of knowledge for all attending. With 5 countries now operating in South East Asia (Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia & Philippines) the success can be attributed to many factors – the planning, accountability and enthusiasm of the Owners consistently stood out.

The Netherlands were represented by Country Head James O’Grady, Dennis de Graaf Owner of Infinity Marketing (Best MC of the Year 2010), New MC of the Year Owner Duane Stein of New Legends Marketing ( Best New MC of the year 2010), new Assistant Owner Rik Horeman and Owners Support Unit Manager Lauren O’Brien. Alongside the Dutch delegates were high rolling Owners from the UK, Ireland and Germany.

The meetings were held in the exquisite Marina Bay Sands conference centre with all delegates staying in the wonderful hotel attached. The surroundings and hospitality of the hosts only added to the education received. After visiting the Marketing Companies in Singapore the Dutch delegates were impressed with their high level of professionalism and enthusiasm. Their ‘no fear’ approach allows them to break comfort zones at all levels in the business.

James O’Grady commented; “At the Owners Meeting, Owners like Kunchada Sa-Ardphanchai inspired me so much. She is no.1 Owner in Thailand and her MC has grown from 7 to 55 ICs in one year! Also stories of new countries opening, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam and China, amazed me. VP James Greaves really demonstrated what is possible when you and your team join forces and work together over the long term.”

Lauren O’Brien added: “This was a trip like no other, bringing together the ‘best of the best’ from Europe to watch and learn from superb examples within the Appco Group network, visit a wonderful part of the world and build business relationships that will continue to help The Netherlands grow well into the future.
Many thanks to VP Simon Murphy for organising this trip and to James Greaves, Joanne Ng and all involved in Appco Group Asia for an incredible experience.”
