Nemo map the road ahead with outstanding exhibition

Nemo opened 2019 last week with their well-attended event Roadmap. Held at the Park Royal Hotel near Warrington on the 10th January, Roadmap was dedicated to guiding vendor partners and members through their plans for the year ahead.

Kicking off with an industry superstar keynote, attendees gained an ‘thought provoking’ insight into best practice management from experienced business coach, Rob Vale. Rob took delegates through the art of change and how to create a competitive advantage, whilst
focusing on “the high cost of doing nothing”.

Scott Woodward, Marketing Manager officially launched the 2019 Workplace Solutions catalogue, to great cheer, again this year with an innovative flip-based publication, allowing Members to present a different catalogue to traditional or facilities buyers.

Returning Sammy Bartley, Merchandising Manager, revealed Nemo’s tailored marketing programme, where Nemo give access to marketing collateral and resources to enable Members to sell their company benefits and services through an effective plan.

Nemo’s Roadmap followed, with Tim Beaumont introducing the groups plan for the year ahead and new initiatives. Key takeaways being; becoming more relevant to Members, offering tailored programmes, continuing to develop innovative solutions for Nemo, culling ‘me too’ contracts and focussing on dealer quality in recruitment.

Charismatic Chairman, Michael Morgan challenged delegates to think about their 2019 goals, putting plans in place and meeting those targets, which Nemo will be monitoring throughout the year.

After the business session, delegates then made their way through to a bursting expo, where suppliers displayed new products and services in a packed room of 44 exhibitors.

There was plenty of activity around the stands, with one lucky Nemo Member – JM Business Supplies winning a fantastic Canon Powershot digital camera worth £300 from paper merchant Ovendens much to the delight of Jonathan and Marie.

CTS Toners commented ‘we find Nemo a dedicated and proactive partner’ whilst Snopake praised the exhibition as ‘a great opportunity to launch new products and advise on sales techniques’.

Nemo once again thanked vendors and delegates with their legendary Chinese meal on the Thursday night, with Derek Bamford and his stand-up routine seeing the night off in fashion!

More details will be released shortly on Nemo’s ever popular Conference Refresh, so keep your eyes peeled!
