The end of an era and the beginning of a new one for MGI UK & Ireland
After 17 years as the Regional Coordinator of the MGI UK and Ireland region, Paul Winder is handing over to Rachel Pugh this summer.
MGI Worldwide owes a huge debt of gratitude to Paul who has played a pivotal role in its evolution to the vibrant organisation it is today. Not only has he organised some of the best conferences and speakers that we have ever had, but he has also spearheaded our Technology offering despite being the first to admit that he is not the most IT-literate of people. His ability to attract sponsorship has been unparalleled and he will be sorely missed by members in the UK & Ireland region and beyond.
MGI Worldwide Chair, Roger Isaacs, commented “I shall personally miss Paul greatly and have benefitted enormously from his support and wisdom ever since Milsted Langdon joined MGI some 14 years ago. He has become a friend and the post-conference trips to various bars around the world won’t be the same without him. I wish him all the best for the next phase of his life in Scotland and look forward to helping Rachel make as much of a success of the role as Paul has done.”
MGI Welcomes Rachel Pugh
Many members will know Rachel who was formerly a Director at Seymour Taylor. She is an ideal replacement for Paul and the UK & Ireland Region is delighted that she accepted the invitation to take over from him. No doubt she will bring a new perspective and new ideas to the organisation, ably supported by Paul who has agreed to remain in the wings for a while in a consultancy capacity.
"One of the things I am most looking forward to is being able to spend more time with members when I visit them at their offices, listening to and understanding their needs and to be able to add value to their businesses by helping them to grow, compete, win and work collaboratively with other MGI members," says Rachel.
MGI Worldwide CEO Chris Borneman added “Paul has been an amazing support to me since my arrival and will be greatly missed by the team. I am delighted to welcome Rachel in his place – a great choice who is already held in high regard within MGI Worldwide – confident that the UK & Ireland Region will continue to go from strength to strength under her stewardship.”
