As 2017 draws to and end it is amazing to sit in my office and look at our annual business plan on the wall and see just how much Straightpoint has achieved again this year. New products, further top-level recruitment and sales numbers at an all-time high. None of this would be possible without the first-class team here at Straightpoint and our global network of distributors, partners and friends. So, as we head towards the end of 2017 I would like to say a huge thank you to you all, a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
See you in 2018 and let’s do it all again!
David Ayling CEO
