Chris is our Esendex Employee of the Month

Congratulations to Chris Bartlett, Commercial Manager AsiaPac Region, who is February’s Employee of the Month. Adam, Esendex CTO, presented Chris with the award earlier this week.

Chris was nominated by the Management Team as despite being many thousands of miles from Head Office, (and managing with a 9-11 hour time difference too) he has always sought to challenge the status quo: especially in looking at new sales initiatives and pricing models.

He’s always interested in the business’ performance and profitability and has a keen eye for detail. This keen eye was fundamental in resolving some business process issues at the start of the month, so thanks Chris!

From 3 blogs down to 1…..

We have made some changes to our blog today, to help users to navigate around more easily. Essentially, we’ve merged the UK blog, Support blog and Developer blog into one “Esendex UK” blog. We’ve also created categories so you can choose to read posts relevant to a particular area of interest.

We know that many of our customers use our blog to receive support posts or technical updates only. Consequently, we’ve created a technical category within the blog which will cover support, infrastructure improvements, product updates and all things Developer/API related.

Those of you that currently subscribe to the Support and Developer blogs don’t need to take any action as you’ll continue to receive updates from the technical category RSS feed. We’ll also continue posting all new blog entries to Twitter.

For all newbies, you can choose to receive an RSS feed of our blog in its entirety or from the Technical category only. It’s up to you!

If you’ve got any feedback on this change or have any ideas on how we can improve our blog, send an email to marketing@esendex.com

And the Employee of the month award goes to…….

….Darren Liddell, Senior Developer, for his dedication and commitment to improving the SMS message delivery standards for our customers in January.

January 2010 marks the first time we’ve run the Employee of the month award. As a company we’re looking to recognise those who go above and beyond their job description to really make a difference and in doing so, encapsulate our company values of entrepreneurship, integrity and the highest quality of service.

He was presented with a (very heavy) trophy and £100 to spend on a posh dinner at anywhere he chooses. Note – even Hart’s is affordable with that money, if you stick to 2 courses, or forgo the wine!

Congratulations once again Darren!
