Congratulations, Nick
We warmly congratulate European Advisory Councillor Nick Tiltman on his appointment as Credit Services Director for Computer 2000. It is believed to be one of the first board-level appointments of a director with specific responsibility for credit management in the UK. Nick is a great supporter of FCIB and said of the announcement 'In making this appointment, Computer 2000 is sending a powerful and positive message to the market; namely that good credit management is now a vitally important part of its business and critical to its long-term success'. A statement that we can all agree with. Let us hope that Nick's appointment is the precursor to many similar acknowledgements of the credit function in the future.
And Congratulations, Ron!
We congratulate European Advisory Councillor Ron Wells on the launch of his book 'Global Credit Management' in China. For more information please visit http://www.t3plimited.com/pressrelease.html
