It's been a while, but we can now look forward to a glimmer of sunshine and the happy holiday season! I hope that when many of you read this you will have just returned from an exotic holiday feeling refreshed and ready for the adventures that lie ahead in the world of retail.
At RLI we have now had some time to reflect on our two hugely successful events that took place in London at the beginning of June. The second RLI Connect event at Chelsea Football Club produced a fantastic 2-day event with a list of attendees from around the world. This was followed just a few hours later by the 9th Global RLI Awards which took place in the incredible setting of the Natural History Museum, where a West-End show and a four-course meal entertained the guests before the event culminated with the 2014 Global RLI Awards Ceremony. Since the two events we have completed our summer issue of RLI, which included the 2014 Winners Brochure as well.
Now that the chaos is finally out of the way, we at RLI look forward to a small breather during the summer, before getting the September issue of RLI ready to hit desks in late August. However for me, things are never quite that easy, and although I didn't think my diary could be more packed than last year, it looks as if I will be eating my words before too long! As I write this I am preparing for a short family holiday before jetting off to Dubai w/c 3rd August, with lots of meetings lined up as next year RLI plans to host its Tenth Anniversary Events in Dubai, so venues to look at and partners and sponsors to find... final details will be confirmed soon. If anyone is interested in the events, and would like a chance to discuss possibilities, let me know if you are available at any time during that week by emailing jayne.rafter@rli.uk.com
For now though, I am getting ready for a short break before the retail travelling season gets underway.
Till next time...
