It’s also been hugely rewarding to revisit old acquaintances of the brand and to build a host of new relationships.

Its focus on empowering members to leverage the latest technology to super-charge their business efficiency, attract new clients and enhance client engagement mirrors our own tech approach and we look forward to forging a successful long-term relationship with Mel and the team.”
