Our Best 11 - Total Transformers!

What a week its been and its only Wednesday!!! After a manic 48 hours of Total Football, sorry Editorial work, we nailed down our Starting 11 for the Print Edition of Finance Transformation Magazine! It is an All Star line up worthy of Cruyff and Co. in their pomp!

Tomorrow morning the Print Edition goes to the Printers, whilst we continue to work on the Online Edition. The Print Edition is limited to our 1st Eleven and oh boy are they capable of getting it down and passing it to a red shirt!

Launching us into the stratosphere is Mandy Hickson ex RAF Fighter Pilot, followed by our Team in Focus, the legends at Breedon Payables Team led by Rachel Long, followed up by possibly the finest LinkedIn Changemaker in the UK, on a Mission to end Career based Misery, the one and only Andrew MacAskill!!!

With that strike force up front we needed real artistry in Midfield, where we abound with talent from Josh & Adam at Perro, through Gary Cole talking all things Customer to Philip King and Martin Kirby in our first Head 2 Head talking about the Future of Credit Management.

A defence of style, grace and power comprising no less a CEO than the current leader of the CICM Sue Chapple, Mr Payments Behaviour from Dun & Bradstreet Howard Trenam to Founder and CEO of YayPay by Quadient Anthony Venus. Ably supported on the right flank by Chris Vincent of Exela Technologies who will brief us on Request to Pay!

Commanding such a talented line up is the CEO of Hays, Alistair Cox who has thrilled us that he can make our View from the Boardroom slot in the Q1 Edition. Our humble thanks go to long serving Hays stalwarts Tim Hall and Karen Young for making that happen!

On a day which saw my young Niece, Aoife, join the team on work experience, at 6pm we paused and drew breath, Andy Peat had pulled off another stunning design performance and the Magazine in full technicolour was despatched for final proof reading.

We launch Online on Tuesday 1st February at 830am, the Print Edition goes straight to 400 'lottery winners' with their cornflakes next week, what's left to do???

Well, if your still reading, we like to give back and we can add stories to our Online Edition to continue to give value to all Readers. Already several crackers have expressed an interest so our Starting 11 may well morph into a Starting 15 to honour the greatest football team of them all, the Dublin 6 in a Row All Ireland Champions!!!

Did someone mention an Irish Edition...stay tuned folks and keep spreading the Newsletter because on 1st February we may go for a Record ;)

Oh and finally, I am human, I make mistakes, remember that when you spot the typos :) Right 10 minutes to kick off - c'mon Utd!!!
