Against a backdrop of rising wages and staff shortages in the UK and Western Europe, Malta has emerged as an attractive option for contact centre outsourcing.  While the country is known as a brilliant holiday destination, CX leaders are now realising it also offers the perfect mix of ingredients for successful customer service: a talented English-speaking and multilingual workforce, EU membership, and relatively low cost.

To learn more, join our online lunch event featuring 4 fantastic speakers from the travel, utilities and BPO sectors. Attendees receive:

* a £20 or €25 lunch voucher (OR charity donation)

* Opportunity to win the best question prize: a bottle of champagne or equivalent.

Finance and Accounting leaders are invited to an exclusive online lunch event, where we’ll open your eyes to the exciting opportunity of outsourcing to Fiji. Fiji’s talented workforce, available at a fraction of the cost of Australia or New Zealand, has deep experience in F&A functions including:

• GST and BAS filings
• Credit assessment
• Loans and data processing
• Debt collections
• …just to name a few.

The event will open with a welcome address by the Deputy Prime Minister of Fiji, Manoa Kamikamica.

This will be followed by a panel discussion with the Global CFO and Director of Pepper Advantage, and audience Q&A.

Choosing the right location(s) for your outsourcing strategy is critical to success.

We’ll have a case study presentation by Citro, a rapidly growing financial services startup backed by AMP, followed by a BPO panel discussion and audience Q&A. Attendees receive:

When you think of an average contact center, you probably don’t imagine Pacific Island paradises, still lagoons and hammocks strung between palm trees where you can enjoy "island time". You don't imagine Polynesian princesses like Moana chasing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson across a sparkling blue ocean. And yet …

Let's just say that while Fiji might appear to be the most unlikely outsourcing destination you've ever considered, you might think differently once you've attended this event. We’ll share why, with a fantastic case study from McDonalds (Australia), covering:

• Why Fiji?
• Journey outsourcing to date
• Overview of learnings and outcomes.

This will be followed by a fireside chat with the Founder of one of Fiji’s leading BPOs. There will then be ample time for audience Q&A. Attendees receive:

⭐️  Opportunity to win the best question prize: a free return flight to Fiji courtesy of Fiji Airways (*)

⭐️  $25 Uber Eats voucher (OR $25 charity donation)
