Where does all the time go. It seems like only three months have passed since last Christmas and we are now only two weeks away. It’s been one of those years where everybody has worked harder for less. I know that to be true of folks at Acentic, and for that I am grateful and proud. We have taken to market our Digital TV range, Panorama in DVB and IP, launched a new Laptop connectivity range of product and services, opened for business in the Middle East and India and started discussions to take Acentic further afield. All good stuff for next year and beyond.

I now need to get my mind around the Christmas presents. I received a card today with a thoughtful poem on gift suggestions.

  “To your enemy - forgiveness
  To an opponent - tolerance 
  To a friend - your heart
  To a customer - service
  To all - charity
  To every child - a good example
  To yourself - respect”

I think my girls will be expecting a bit more than ”a good example!” I’m a Christmas Eve shopper really, preferably alone. It’s a day when you put work completely behind you and savour the festive atmosphere. To all friends of Acentic, customers, partners, suppliers, staff and families…and yes, even competitors…a very Merry Christmas!

“It was the night before Xmas
When all through the hotel
There wasn’t a sound, of a sleigh, or a bell
An empty bar, no party, no drama,
The guests were in bed
Watching… Panorama”

Ha ha… have a good one!
