Bit late to post this but I've been sunning it in the Dominican this past week! (And no, I haven't tanned, I still look like I've been sunbathing in 10 degree cloudy weather in Skegness.) I'm delighted to receive the "Outstanding Performer" award at the 8x8 EMEA SKO 2 weeks ago. Something I never imagined winning after only 2 years of joining the SE team! It's been a manic past FY, various deals worked & won, & new partnerships discussed/created; but the main thing that really happened this year (this includes the first year I joined the SE team), I really found my passion in Public Sector, and especially #housing. Carrying out multiple speaker sessions at recent housing events, as well as creating custom demos & use cases for the sector, really fueled this passion. I want to say thank-you to both Steve Edmonds & Andrew Lilley for bringing me into the SE team & pushing me to go out of my comfort zone, as well as Samuel C Wilson Lisa Martin Bryan Martin Jamie Snaddon Russell Tilsed (& many more!) for being inspirational leaders & having me up on stage! Below is a picture of me "definitely not breathing in to look better for the photo". Onto FY25! (You'll want to see the amazing innovation 8x8 has coming up!) #salesengineer #award #ccaas #ucaas #xcaas #housing #publicsector #passion

Britvic plc delivered an encouraging start to FY24 with robust Q124 results that showed good revenue progression, reflecting the strength of its brand portfolio. Group revenue growth of 8.1% was driven by positive trends in both price and volumes and was broad-based across Britvic’s geographies, continuing the positive momentum from FY23.
