I’m happy to inform you that PG Payroll has acquired its first client, Financial Partners and we are hopeful that more clients will come our way in the next couple of months. Our payroll team has worked hard over the last month or so ensuring that the system is ready to be marketed. Vincent Santoso has been at the heart of building the team’s foundation and creating SOP to ensure smooth operations of the service.

On the legal side of things, we are waiting for HSBC to sign our partnership agreement, which, once signed, will make us their official strategic partner for payroll. We hope that this partnership will bring in new business for payroll in the coming months. FP advisers also will be helping us in referring our service to their clients. Ford Sukamto, our renowned Senior Account Executive, has been making calls to Euro Cham Members trying to sell the payroll service. He has received some enquiries and they are being followed up.

These developments mark an exciting time for all of us involved in the project and as Mr. Kemp says “at every crisis there is always an opportunity that presents its self” and this is exactly what we are doing i.e. seizing the opportunity by making the significant developments mentioned above.

Other than that, that’s it from my end. Hope you have found my update useful, and I look forward to giving you more updates on Marcomms initiatives and development in the next edition of The Bridge.
