ABACUS Out & About

It is officially summertime, and Robin is feeling very fresh since having some time off in June, away at Disneyland Paris with his family. Now, in July he is back and working as hard as ever visiting brokers across the country. If you have ever wondered what he gets up to when he makes his way around the UK, then read on to find out…

April Miles & Smiles

Number of Brokers Seen – 25

Number of Miles Travelled – 1,612

April was a busy month, with Robin visiting and speaking to brokers all the way from London to Edinburgh. Whilst in London he spoke to a Key Account Broker about their targets with ABACUS and how their staff are all aware of our portal and use us regularly. They discussed how we were their biggest account for Property Owners, which is something we always love to hear! Whilst talking to brokers in Scotland, spanning the country from Glasgow, to Edinburgh, Inverness and Dumfries, Robin took the opportunity to discuss our updated Product Governance document, which was gratefully received by all. One of our Scottish brokers, another key account of ours, spoke to Robin about how they gather their leads and remarked that they have grown to use us here at ABACUS as a first port of call and are expecting to put on lots of new business in the coming year.

May Miles & Smiles

Number of Brokers Seen – 32

Number of Miles Travelled – 2,728

May is BIBA month here at ABACUS. The team including Richard our CEO, Jecelda and Jasmine from the Agency and Marketing team and Ben and Charlotte from the Scheme’s team joined Robin in preparing for and exhibiting at the BIBA Conference in Manchester. ABACUS hosted a dinner with brokers on Tuesday evening which went well and made our whole team very excited for the next few days of the conference. The team were lucky to be able to see so many brokers and friends throughout the actual conference itself, with many people popping over to visit us on our stand. We had the opportunity of exhibiting opposite our Partner’s at BlinkIS as well, which is always a pleasure. Robin and Richard used the opportunity that the Conference provides to meet up with brokers and take small meetings at the stand, whilst the rest of the team said hello to brokers passing by and talked to new enquiries. Many were impressed with the range of property risks that ABACUS are able to provide quotes for, and quite a few brokers remarked on our ‘Residential Let Legal Expenses & Optional Rent Protection’ product, as it is a fairly new addition to our range, added in April this year.

June Miles & Smiles

Number of Brokers Seen – 25

Number of Miles Travelled – 2,336

June was an exciting month as the sun actually started to make an appearance, it seems to be arriving later and later as the years pass by! In June Robin had the opportunity to see many brokers, he travelled up to the north of England to see brokers in the Leeds area at the start of the month, then spent a day out in the sun watching a heated cricket match with Steve Horner from BlinkIS and a few of their broker friends, and at the end of the month Robin was spotted at the coveted event the ‘Seaton Delaval Northumberland Plate’, held at Newcastle Racecourse. On that sunny Thursday afternoon Robin entertained a group of brokers whilst they watched the horse-racing. They were able to discuss their business with ABACUS and how they had been interacting with our website and how our teams had been helping them with their enquiries over the phone, and on our live-chat platform.
