Never before had we tried to accommodate<br />

all launch elements (Press, Fleet, Sales and<br />

Technical) in one venue, but the location and<br />

facilities at <strong>Compton</strong> <strong>Verney</strong> were too good<br />

to miss.<br />

Overall, we succeeded in <strong>our</strong> plans…managed<br />

to achieve all <strong>our</strong> objectives and please <strong>our</strong><br />

audiences. Not bad in anybody’s language!<br />

Thank you.<br />
