BOG Part 3

Today saw the Sunrise Business Owners Group presented with a project update. The Team (Matt, Anthony, Jo, Simon and Nic) presented the revisted quotation flow followed by a working demo which helped bring the brown paper to life. It also helped demonstrate the ground that has been covered by the Team in such a short space of time. Some key assumptions and decisions around the project were reiterated along with an update following the Steering.

As always, thanks to the BOG for their support and contribution to realising the Sunrise vision.

'Sunrise .....until sunset'

Last night the Sunrise Team had a well earned night out in Milton Keynes. It was an opportunity for the team to take some time out following a hectic schedule of work and recap on how much has been achieved. A toast was led by Matt and congratulated the Team on their efforts so far on the journey to realising the Sunrise vision. A good night was had by all with lots of laughs along the way. Back to work today and the Team continue to focus on preparation of the deliverables for the business case.

FUG Endorses Sunrise

Today saw the first FUG take place at Sunrise HQ with franchisee representatives from Autorama, Fulton, IVL, West Midland Vehicles, Compass Contract Hire, MW Contracts and Central Contracts.

The Sunrise Team took the franchisses through the vision of the new 'to be' landscape followed by a walk through of the 'brown paper' and quote screen prototype. The response from our franchisee 'business partners' was very positive, ensuring that Sunrise continues to move in the right direction.

Overall, a great day and a very excited Sunrise Team following FUG feedback that Sunrise would support their individual franchise business processes.

Finally, a big thank you to our franchisee representatives.
