The life of a travelling man does not always run smooth........

When sitting in a hotel waiting to fly you just never know what you are in for as is so easily illustrated by the email I received at 10pm on a nice Saturday evening while waiting to fly from London’s Heathrow airport (yes London does have nice weather sometimes)

Now as it turned out the disruption on this occasion was not too bad, I ended up at my final destination, after 2 flights and about 4,500 miles, only about 90 minutes late. The second of my flights was quite interesting as it flew straight through a thunderstorm with all the turbulence that you would expect and the view out the window was nothing less than spectacular as the storm raged on all around the plane.

I do take my hat off (figuratively not literally) to the airline crew and support staff who under these conditions (even though recent media attention paints a different picture) usually rise to the occasion and do a superb job of getting me to where I want to go as safely as possible.

I do get to see a wide variety of weather conditions and some truly amazing sights with all the travelling that I do and that’s just one of the many things that I love about my job.

  MACH Exhibition April 2018

  Posted on 17 April 2018 in Past Exhibitions

  SYNCHRO ERP Hall 17 Stand # 634
  
  April 9th - April 13th 2018 - NEC Birmingham, UK
  
  MACH 2018 will be moving to a new set of Halls at the NEC. In one uninterrupted single space, on one level, utilising Halls 17,18,19,20 and 6, we will be able to stage the exhibition in a way that provides a bigger range of great locations for your exhibition stand. The Hall move also means we will have additional space to be able to grow the exhibition incrementally in the years to come.
