Town Hall Meeting – Watch the video!

On Friday 12th November, we held the fortnightly Town Hall meeting hosted by CEO Dennis van Schie.

Christmas is around the corner, and Dennis recommended a book for a nice present, “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell. “Blink delves into how and why we make the gut decisions we do, when it’s unsafe to trust our guts, and what we can do to make all our snap judgments smarter, less biased, and more efficient”.

Talking about COVID-19, currently, we only have some contact cases. Dennis also shared a personal story and reminded us that COVID-19 is around and that we still need to be conscious and careful.

Company-wise, Dennis talked about their monthly performance reviews and quickly mentioned each different business unit.

We invited Jonathan Spight, CFO, to talk about Finance. He covered four different topics: forecast two (F2), current performance, where do we expect to go in the next 12 months and introduced, like he said, “Fun with Finance”, a new training material that they are developing.

If you couldn’t make it to the live event, check out the video and watch Gareth asking many exciting questions to help us understand Colart performance better.

We got many comments and interesting questions like the one from Kim Stylides “It might be helpful for newer members of Colart family for Jonathan to recognize sales and margin growth vs 2020 and 2019 – to give perspective on how much growth there has been. While understanding the focus is on how we are performing vs our targets this year”
