Children Christmas at Creditinfo Lithuania
Creditinfo Lithuania held a Christmas party for employees‘ children entertained by Santa Claus and Snowmaiden visit. It is planned to make such events for our staff children each year.
Several years ago our team had only a few children while one can notice that currently we have a full kindergarten here. We are pleased to see that growing new generation will be able to replace ourselves at Creditinfo in the future.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all Creditinfo families!

How Lithuanians show their proud of high ratings
Certificates “Strongest in Lithuania” became a strong proof of confidence in Lithuanian companies. Some of them are so proud that they are able to get these certificates several years in a row that puts them altogether showing continuity of creditworthiness.
We believe that for the company from one of the biggest cities our certificates is more than a proof of trustworth or marketing. It‘s an emotion, proudness and a wish to show that to everybody: from local staff to VIP clients. We are very happy how many opportunities our clients have using the certificate.
Paul's off to Tanzania to deliver training
Paul Randall and one of the CIS team will be flying out to deliver training to some of Tanzania’s potential clients. This is a great way for the clients to network and share best practice whilst also being an informative session and for us, it’s a great opportunity to promote what we do best and how we can help them do things better. During the 4 x 50 minutes sessions, we’ll be telling them about the benefits of a Credit Bureau, the data landscape in their country, going into detail about scoring and also automation. If this is of interest, give Paul a call!

Any takers for relocation?
Players of the Month: Tanzania and Malta
You always remember your first!
November saw the team in Tanzania sell their first International Report. Well done, to Andrew Carter, Dave Kahwa, Edwin Urasa,Shane Moldenhauer & Pamela Uriyo, the first of many we’re sure!
Teamwork pays off
Congratulations to Remy Damato, Melissa Pace & Antonio Di Bari, for already breaking all records regarding the creation of D&B reports. Even with another month to go, they are already 10% up on last year in not only the number of reports but also on the total revenue. This is big indication on the quality and speed in which these reports are delivered by the team. There has to be something said for their teamwork as they also won the bridge building contest at the last Values Seminar in Malta.
From the photo, we’d advise them not to swap their day jobs for construction!
