Guess Who's Back?

‘Been away so long I hardly knew the place 
Gee, it’s good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I’m back in’ Brisbane!

Chorus Call Australia established an office in Sydney in May 2010 and the writer flew down to find a site, furnish it and find some key staff to operate it. Another staff member came with me but unfortunately could not go the distance and missed his home town of Brisbane far too much.

Sydney is the only world class city in Australia and like the rest of the world has been affected more by the current global issues than other parts of the country and despite this we are very lucky to have found two very talented, committed conferencing professionals in Craig Aspey & Darin Smyth. They are perfect for the role and there is no doubt that they will do their part to ensure the continued prosperity of the organisation and succeed and grow as individuals.

What they don’t know about the Sydney market and the needs of clients is not worth reporting here as they are consummate professionals. The Sydney office is perfectly positioned and well fitted out for client engagement.

All our clients or prospective clients are more than welcome to walk in to Level 7, 48 Hunter Street Sydney and meet Craig and Darin.

Meanwhile the writer is back in Brisbane it is 23C and brilliant sunshine which compares more than favorably with Sydney today – cold, windy and wet!

Winter in Brisbane may well be the best place to be anywhere in the world for that season!

iPad 2 Winning Story!

As mentioned in last week’s blog Ruth Patching was the lucky winner of the iPad 2 for the best story relating to business travel and here it is;

“I had to travel from Melbourne to facilitate a training program in Wollongong on one day and another in Sydney the following day. Thank goodness I decided to catch a flight from Melbourne early on the day before. What should have been a four hour trip, at most, turned into a seven hour saga of traffic jams, delayed flights, missed transport connections at the other end and the loss of my car booking because I hadn’t been able to contact the car hire company while I was in transit to advise of the delays.

The following evening I had to drive from Wollongong to Sydney. Most of the trip was fine, until I got to within four kms of my destination. That final stretch took almost two hours as the traffic was at a standstill, for no apparent reason! On line training and conference calls will always be my first preference from now on!”

This is a good news story and we will have more from Ruth very soon and as Kool and the Gang sang;

Celebrate good times, come on! (Let’s celebrate)
Celebrate good times, come on! (Let’s celebrate)
There’s a party goin’ on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times, and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you

Congratulations from Chorus Call Australia.
