We are delighted to welcome Indigo Swan back as our title sponsor for the 2024 conference. Here is a word from James Groves, Managing Director of Indigo Swan:
This year marks Indigo Swans 10th year of involvement with the PMAS Conference. The subject of this year’s conference, being Working Back – Looking Forward sounds like an exciting one and one that has some great topics to discuss and amazing speakers to look forward to. We are so proud to be involved again as the Headline Sponsor and look forward to continuing as Headline Sponsor for the Awards later in the year also. Giving back to your great association and sector means a massive amount to me and all the Swans.
Indigo Swan has been on its own journey of Working Back and Looking Forward. Myself, alongside my fellow Directors Aimee Konieczny, Andy Kindleysides and Hayley Leech, successfully carried out a Management Buyout of Indigo Swan in late 2022 and remembering where we came from, but embracing and be excited about how we move forward have been at the centre of many discussions over the last 18 months or so.
Indigo Swan has tailored its service to your space, to your sector and by working alongside the numerous energy suppliers and other partners that you and your business has, we believe we have been able to find a service and solutions that brings great value to you and your residents. We hope this will continue for many years to come, and we are here celebrating our 20th anniversary also. The energy sector continues to bring challenges. Whilst prices have come down, service from energy suppliers, continues to be problematic and Indigo Swan continues to bridge that gap between you, your clients and the energy suppliers, to get queries resolved, billing correct, SMART Meters rolled out and give you the peace of mind that your energy portfolio is well managed.
In closing, I wanted to touch on a part of the conference that means a great deal to me, the Swans and is at the heart of how we run and lead our business, and that is wellbeing and the wellbeing of your teams. There has never been a more important time to put wellbeing at the very top of the agenda. Its not a buzz word, having a wellbeing policy should not be a nice to have, it should be a necessity. From the cost of living to struggles with neurodiverse conditions, wellbeing covers many areas. Caring for your team, being approachable, unjudgmental, good humans and fantastic leaders and colleagues should be something that everyone aspires to be and have an awareness of across businesses the world over. The fact that it is on the agenda at your conference is wonderful to see and I am so glad that the wellbeing of the teams is at the very centre of discussion within the PMAS.
We look forward to the day and seeing you there.
James & The Swans
