Happy New Year to all our customers, partners and associates
2018 was an exciting, fun and successful year for MID Comms and MID Group, now the new year is here and we’re ready to do it all over again even bigger and better. We want to say Happy New Year and to thank all of you, our customers, partners and associates, for supporting us on our journey and hope that continues into 2019.
My top three highlights from 2018
As already mentioned, 2018 was a fantastic year for myself, both personally and professionally, as well as MID Comms and the wider MID Group as a whole. Every year I set goals, something that I believe is vitally important. Without a vision and goals that you stick to, you are at risk of losing sight of everything you’re trying to achieve. In the world of business there are always highs and lows, however, I must say that last year, as a business, we achieved some incredibly big things and I am proud of all those that worked hard in order to reach our objectives. So, what were my top three standout highlights from 2018?
MID Group Formation – It’s no secret, I love the world of telecommunications. I’ve worked in the industry for over a decade now and it’s fast-paced, ever-changing and extremely rewarding. However, since I joined MID Communications back in 2009, I’ve always strived for the business to evolve and continually develop and the idea of growing beyond just a telco company is one I have held for several years. Turning this idea into reality with the formation of MID Group in May 2018 is not only one of my top highlights of last year but one of the proudest achievements for the MID brand to date. MID Group is an umbrella corporation that all current and future MID businesses will sit under which you can find out more about here.
My Ideal Destination Launched – Once MID Group came along, obviously we had to think about what the first business to join MID Comms under the Group umbrella would be. Several ideas were banded around but there was one that really excited me and my partners, especially after the conversations we had with the wonderful Hays travel. In December 2018, after months of being kept under wraps, My Ideal Destination launched and became the first sister company of MID Comms as part of MID Group. We have an experienced team on board who are now raring to go and make My Ideal a success in 2019. I am proud of everyone involved in making My Ideal Destination a reality and even prouder that it is now launched and trading. Check it out if you have not already!
MID Comms Evolution – Last but not least I can’t forget to talk about MID Comms. I will be celebrating my 10-year anniversary with the company in September and it’s quite amazing how I’ve watched the business go from strength to strength. In 2018, MID Comms really evolved in all areas. Our learning and development structure has been improved, our social media presence has grown massively and as always we’ve made sure the customer is at the heart of everything we do. I am looking forward to seeing what this year has in store for MID Communications. I know that the team will work hard and put in maximum effort to smash it in 2019.
Thank you for taking the time to read this edition of The CEO Files. There were too many highlights from last year to list them all but the three above I am especially proud of. So, fasten your seatbelt, set out your objectives and make sure you are ready to go out there and make 2019 a successful year whether that is for yourself personally or your business.
Until next time…
