And it is time to get back to business

The end and the beginning of the year is always a bit messy for me. End of the year most of the world is in the holiday mood and not much is happening. Then the new year kicks off with industry trade shows taking me to PSI in Europe and this year also to PPAI in the United States. The shows and the meetings at them result in lots of follow up work, unfortunately that has to wait. Why ? Because another holiday season starts right after - Chinese New Year … This year all got a bit more complicated by the severe weather in China but now it is time for the things to get back to normal again.

So what a person like me has to do once the festive season is over ?

• Recalculation of prices of all the products our clients buy regularly, a real headache of a job

• Finalizing development and sampling and testing of new products

• Follow up of all the stuff that came up during the January trade shows and meetings

• Visits to suppliers to facilitate the above

• Getting ready for the April trade shows in Asia - travel and hotel arrangements for customers, booth and showcase arrangements for us

• And in between getting rid of the mountains of correspondence that piled up during the weeks I was more away from than in the office

I love the holidays, but I hate what comes after them
