Let’s Talk NOUV – Grab a Coffee!

It has been an exciting few months since my last operational update. This means that I have more news to share with you.

First and foremost, I am pleased to note that our Internal Audit setup is now complete. We have two new additions to our team, namely Gian Carlo Bas who just joined us and Daniel Portelli who should be joining our team this coming May.

As you might already know, NOUV is in the process of acquiring Equis, a small but established audit company. Such a change will always bring a bit of disruption at first, so to smoothen this shift, we have already welcomed two of its members who are now with us on site with the Financial Management Team, to start familiarising themselves with the setup and culture at NOUV. This was phase one.

Phase two will happen in May when we will hopefully be ready to finalise our acquisition of Equis. By then, the rest of their team, between 10 to 12 audit people will join us here.

I would also like to extend my welcome to another three new additions to the NOUV family. These are Ryan Abdilla in accounts, Francesca Cachia from the tax unit and Daniel Koos who joins our payroll bureau team. We also have Nathan Selmy who joins the NOUV Academy as a Sales Associate.

And speaking of the Academy, works remain ongoing on our lower floor which will be taken up by the Academy and by Tuning Fork’s team. In fact, if things remain on track as they are, the new floor should be operational also by May.

I cannot not spare a few words on a past colleague, Daniel Bilocca, with whom we unfortunately had to part ways. Daniel did a lot of good work but circumstances eventually showed us that we did not share the same values. As in a football team, where no one is above the club, at NOUV, the brand and what it stands for, will always come first. Let this be a lesson to us all.

I will however end this on a positive note. I am noticing a very nice vibe at NOUV. There are interesting synergies being formed and the teamwork between you is amazing. All this fills me with great pride and I am sure this feeling is shared by all my partners and you all. Keep it up guys!
