Preverisk's Managers Convention opens its doors to external guests

Training Day for Preverisk People and Guests

One of our pioneering activities to excel in delivering our value propositions is to continuously train our team.  At the beginning of each year all our Business Managers and key consultants from Mexico, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Turkey, Cape Verde, Morocco, Mauritius and, of course, Spain meet in Palma to celebrate a Managers Convention. This year marked a before and after. As an exclusively internal event focused on sharing market and business knowledge and training, last Tuesday January 14^th, a selected group of guests were invited to learn new insights from high-level speakers.
