Join us in celebrating 30 years of service for Andrew Calladine who joined BHN as a Field Controller back in 1994. In his role he would assign work to mystery shoppers. But Andrew had bigger plans! He taught himself programming and, by 1997, moved into IT as an Analyst/Programmer on our Mystery Shopping platform, Mystics. Since then, Andrew has been a driving force behind Mystics, a system that has supported over 500 programmes and processed more than 5 million survey responses. His expertise in Mystics, Redeem, and SQL is legendary, and his willingness to help others has earned him countless thanks from colleagues. Congratulations, Andrew, on 30 incredible years of service! 👏 Thank you for your dedication and hard work. Here's to many more! 🎉 #Milestone #BHN

By the end of 2024, 22% of all new car sales and 10% of van sales from each manufacturer must be for zero emission vehicles (ZEV). 🌍 That leaves the Automotive Industry with a real challenge as they struggle to meet the ZEV mandate - and the prospect of a £15,000 fine for every vehicle that fails to meet the target.  🚘 Read our new blog to explore how motor manufacturers can use flexible, scalable and cost-effective incentives programs to help motivate both sales teams to meet their ZEV targets and new car buyers to make the switch EV.    https://lnkd.in/dm26NvYT
