The Patriots, The Yankees, The Knicks (still undecided), The Rangers. Apparently is the only language they speak in New York... I'm gonna fit in just fine! There's actually loads more teams than the ones I listed, they're just my picks! The Patriots technically are not NY, they're New England but they seem to win a lot and i'd like to cheer for a team that win occasionally. We've been playing the waiting game for 2 weeks now. Even with all the best preparation in the world, there can always be some piece of unforeseen durisdicton that can hold you back, In our case, it was our license to allow us to sell!! Due to us being a brand new start up company in the USA we had no proof of financial records and most importantly no CREDIT! In america i'm told it is worse to have no credit than bad credit. After getting half of the western world to help us (Appco staff from the UK, Australia and American's) we finally have found an Insurance company that will cover us despite us not having a history in the states. Happy days! The application went in yesterday and can take up to 7 days to process (but it has been approved!!). This means that our official first day in the field is imminent.
We have appointed an Administrator who starts working with us on the 18th October and initially she will work as a shared admin between the 3 owners on the ground. I'll print her name when i learn how to spell it but all you need to know for now is that she is lovely and has the best New York accent you've ever heard.
Meanwhile, i'm walking around the city like some kind of martian, people are completely incapable of placing my accent. For some reason females think it sounds English and males think it sounds Australian?
Will have some far more exciting news to update you all on in the next week. Keep an eye out for the video virtual tour of the office (to be uploaded in the next few days) and also for a new blog "The Directors blog".
Appco US will be on Twitter as of Friday as well. Technology knows no boundaries!!
