Or shall I rather say from the CEO’s laptop in the departure area of Heathrow.

With a quarter of 2009 already behind us, it is important to share with you that our initiatives embarked upon since the end of 2008, are now showing signs of success. Profits have stabilised in positive territory due to active cost control management and emphasis on value-add…

Hi All REMIG Colleagues,

I thought it proper to introduce a monthly communication bulletin from my desk to all proud REMIG employees, addressing actuality items and posing a wider look at Group business.

The topic of the day is most definitely the melt down in the world financial markets. How will it impact REMIG? How will it impact me as a manager? How will it impact me as a loyal and trustworthy employee?
