A Big Thank You to the European Teams of the REA Group
Over the last week I have had the pleasure of visiting the REA Group teams in the UK, Luxembourg and Italy. The purpose of these visits was to see the teams and properly say goodbye to them. When i left the REA Group a month or so ago (Click here for entry) i wasnt really given a chance to say goodbye to the teams in Australia or around the world. Therefore i took it upon myself to visit them, have a few drinks and to just chat with the teams.
So why so this? Well for many people it is about closure. I had spent alot of time with the teams around the world and my departure came as a huge suprise for many of them. Many of the team members asked me to come and say goodbye and i wanted to make sure i did this.
A couple of big thank you’s.
Firstly to the propertyfinder.com team in the UK. Gillian, Alison and the team – thank you for the wonderful map and amazing scapbook signed by so many of you. I noticed that there was something similar in all the pictures – alcohol … am i sensing a theme here?
Secondly to Patrick and the Luxembourg guys at atHome. Thanks for a wonderful evening of raclette and wine. You have a great team and a thriving business – well done.
Thirdly to the casa.it team in Milan. It was great seeing all of you. I wont forget (actually i cant really remember) the fun night at the Jazz Cafe / Restaurant in Milan and then some dodgy club that David Wickes talked our way into. (Anthony i am still blaming you!)
And lastly but certainly not least, the casait team in Treviso. It was so much fun seeing all the team and i wont forget the hair raising drive through the Treviso country side to a beautiful restaurant or being taught some decidedly dodgy Italian words. Thank you Alessandro!
For me the most amazing thing was seeing how the teams have really come together and are working as one. The European countries have developed amazing cultures are a clearly part of the REA Group. I wish you all the best for the future!
