| From the Managing
Director's Desk |
 I hope you have recovered from any summer
excesses and returned to work refreshed and rarin' to go. It certainly
seems like some of you have. September was a record month for
Inter-Alliance WorldNet and profits, so elusive in the first half
of the year, re-appeared in the 3rd quarter.
In fact, each month since June we have seen steadily
increasing revenues and with some excellent results from our new
and our older hands - as mentioned within this issue. Congratulations
to all of our top performers.
Firstly, I must apologise for the delay in getting
this newsletter out to you. As explained at the Cyprus seminar,
there was still a lot of work to be done to get IAW on track in
terms of expense management and service provision. We needed to
address a number of areas within the Cyprus office in our search
for greater efficiencies. This we have now done. We know that
we must be prepared to constantly evolve if we are to achieve
our goal of becoming the recognised brand leader for the provision
of support services to the international IFA community. We will
not let you down here.
As part of that commitment to service provision,
we are delighted to welcome Tina on board as our Marketing Assistant.
Amongst Tina's jobs will be ensuring that this newsletter gets
out on time, every time. She is also charged with making it interesting,
informative and fun. So she'd really appreciate any articles,
ideas or jokes etc that you might like to share with us.
In May, I also committed to "raising the bar"
in terms of the standards expected of new and existing members.
I am therefore delighted to welcome our new members - all high
quality IFA firms that are proud to become part of IAW. We have
also agreed to accept the resignation of some members where we
believe that the "new" WorldNet is perhaps not right
for them. By the year-end, we are committed to having a team of
top quality of industry professionals within IAW. We can then
begin in earnest to roll out some of our key initiatives including
our planned training and development schemes.
We are now well into, what has
always been, the most productive and profitable quarter of the
business year. Thank you for your support since the May meeting
and my best wishes to you for success in achieving your goals.
Whatever they are, make sure to clear your diary for January
in Dubai.
Best Wishes,
Brian Cosgrave
