Every year, we close our offices between Dec 25th and Jan 1st. While this seems like a long break, we’ve found it gives everyone time to take a break, visit with family and enjoy some down time without their iPhone going nuts due to missed calls/emails. Each year, I try to use this time to plan for the upcoming year and how to make things better; in our processes, deliverables and customer service. While this year was no different, I did find some time to reflect on the year that was…

First, we expanded our sales team. I know it sounds strange to be growing during a down economy, but that is what happened! 2009 has been our best year to date and we are hoping to continue that momentum into 2010! By adding Steve Rogers at our sales office in Ottawa (whom most of you have met – on the phone at least), we’ve been able to reach new people and spend more time with each person to ensure they are getting the best service possible! In addition to Steve, we added Rich Bender in St. Louis. Rich comes from a retirement planning/financial services background and has brought some excellent experience to the table!

Second, we wanted to make a difference, so we started some fund raising activities. Most of you will have heard of the +3 Network by now, through our newsletters, but for those who haven’t, check them out here. Our goal is to get people off the couch and on their bike, feet, hiking boots, etc. As with all new programs, this is getting off to a slow start, but we are looking forward to 2010 being a big year! Our benefactor is the Nevada Cancer Institute in Las Vegas. Everyone has a cancer related story (my mom is a survivor of almost 20 years) and we want to be part of finding a solution!

Third, we are sponsoring a bunch of cycling events in 2010. Most everyone in the office is a cycling fan and we thought it would be fun to have company jerseys and shorts. Early in 2009 we ordered a bunch of jerseys and shorts and have been riding in them since! This has grown into a KingsBridge sponsored rider (Vicki Thomas – who is in Belgium right now) and an increasingly busy riding schedule for 2010. We’ll post a calendar of events early in 2010, so if we are near by, you can come out and say hello.

Finally, we have to give thanks to YOU. Without you, all of this wouldn’t be possible. You continued support makes it a joy to come to work, allows us to sponsor cancer research and cyclists chasing their dreams. Some have been Binomial/KingsBridge clients for years and other are just coming on board, but each of you found us to offer the best service/product for the best price. With each new product we release, we try to build it with one goal in mind… Make our client’s lives easier and less confusing. So… Thank you!

We look forward to working with you in 2010 and many more years to come! Our doors are always open for comments, requests or just a simple hello. See you in the New Year!!

Sincerely,

Skip Williams
