Online booking website miquando.com has welcomed Tony Pithers to the team.
MiQuando Director Nigel Jones said new role of ‘Creator of Opportunities’ reflected the extensive scope of the position and Tony’s appointment underlined the company’s ambitious desire to continue its meteoric growth by identifying openings for expanding the innovative online booking service.
Former Royal Air Force physical training instructor Tony has an extensive career in business, including developing a successful sales team for a major national brand and establishing a regional office equipment supplier as the leading national partner for Sharp.
He is also a keen sportsman, and former Great Britain Multi Event number one, who since moving to the Isle of Man in 2013 has assisted several young Manx athletes including, alongside coach John Whitlow, working with Glen Quayle, who this year became Great Britain Under 15 indoor and outdoor pole vault champion.
Tony has also been a personal trainer, which is how he became aware of MiQuando’s ambitious plans.
He explained: ‘I was introduced to MiQuando by a friend while out for training runs early in the morning. During our runs and exercise sessions I came to understand what MiQuando offers local businesses and I instantly became excited by the potential when I saw the role advertised. That led to a meeting with Directors Paul Harris and Nigel Jones where we discussed a plan which we were all very enthusiastic about and I was eager to get started.
‘The potential, that’s what really excites me. There is so much that we can achieve with miquando.com, so many opportunities to help local businesses grow and make their customers’ lives easier. It’s the only business I know of where everybody can benefit; local businesses, local residents and visitors to the Isle of Man too.’
Central to Tony’s role will be creating new opportunities for MiQuando, including attracting new businesses to sign up to the online booking service, identifying ways the miquando.com can do more for companies, helping the team develop the user experience and seeking out further growth prospects.
Nigel Jones said: ‘After meeting Tony it was clear he understood our ambition and had some really exciting thoughts on how we could meet and exceed them. His position isn’t about simply selling MiQuando to prospective clients, it is about sharing a vision, engaging businesses and the public, identifying how the service can be developed to deliver even more from the feedback he receives and delivering on our shared desire to make MiQuando bigger and better and establishing the brand as a name the whole Island is proud of.’
