This week saw Marion leave Aspin after 18 years as Financial Controller. Marion started with Aspin in 1996 (many existing staff worked for Aspin back then, too!) and has been a great contributor to the success of the business. We all wish Marion the best of luck in her new house, many long gardening days and gin & tonics!

It’s Monday morning and Aspin are present at not one, not two but THREE trade shows this morning:

• Craft Hobby + Stitch International
• BETA International
• Totally Tools

From computers to Cupid… Love is in the air for our InterSell project manager Julian as a dozen roses and a balloon were delivered to his desk this morning! A lovely start to the day, by all accounts.

Aspin are pleased to announce their attendance at Sydney’s Reed Gift Fair this weekend. The show runs from Saturday 15^th February – Wednesday 19^th at the Sydney Exhibition Centre at Glebe Island, where Aspin will be supporting clients and meeting with business prospects.

Following Aspin’s increased presence in the kitchen, tableware and home enhancements sector as a supplier of sales order processing focused software, we are pleased to announce our membership with the British Home Enhancements Trade Association (BHETA).

Many thanks to all of you who have followed our journey at Spring Fair 2014 on the Aspin blog this week. Here is a round up of our week in pictures:

Good morning! It’s the final day of Spring Fair 2014 here at the NEC, Birmingham. Aspin have been catching up with clients this morning to find out how PixSell has helped with their order taking at the show.

Day 4 is upon us and Aspin have been catching up with some of their clients using PixSell at the show.

Enesco

Enesco describe themselves as Aspin advocates as 2014 sees twelve years of solid partnership between both companies. Christine Jones at Enesco has described PixSell to be “not just an order taking tool, but a selling tool”, enriched with visual aids and the ability to showcase all products on the stand and within the Enesco catalogue. Having migrated to PixSell in time for Spring Fair 2014, Enesco suggest that Aspin software dramatically improves order turnaround as orders are directly imported into their ERP system. Aspin wish Enesco a successful show at Spring Fair and at Ambiente, Frankfurt and look forward to many more years working together.

We are pleased to say; this is Aspin’s sixth consecutive year exhibiting at the Spring Fair (Hall 5, 5K66). During that time, we’ve seen a huge change in the way distributors work with technology. We’re talking about a shift away from traditional sales and marketing formats, to methods that allow the distributor to become more networked and connected with both the retailer and the end user.
