UK Vice President and witty host for the day Mr Simon Murphy, was on hand to provide exhilarating speeches, celebratory congratulations to Ireland as a whole due to a flourishing business, and an insight into upcoming developments.
So it began, the Ireland Rally 2010 - after a very warm introduction by Simon and introducing Chairman and Founder of The Cobra Group, the room fell silent to listen to a man well respected throughout the business, the visionary, the perspicacious, Mr Chris Niarchos. Following a standing ovation, Chris thanked everyone in the room for all their hard work, their sterling efforts, and great ambitions to succeed, which has helped the business to continue growing despite the economic downturn. Simon moved onto presenting the first award of the afternoon; ‘Owner of the Year'.
The Owner of the Year award is presented to the person that is consistent in all aspects of the business, achieves results and standards to the highest ability, though not just achieving great IRELAND RALLY 2010 sales, but good quality across their Marketing Company as a whole and strong recruitment. This award was presented to Dublin resident and Product Owner for the Security Division Daryl Burrowes of XR Marketing Ltd. Daryl received rapturous applause, and was then followed on stage by Managing Director of The Cobra Group Mr Mike Blane who highlighted how full the room was, testament to the growing divisions and country as a whole. Mike further announced upcoming projects and new divisions from around the world.
