Proposal Panda: Bonny Scotland and my friends at Aviva

Posted by Proposal Panda
Thankfully the nice folk at Sanborn Map Company upgraded my flight from the States to Scotland – it’s a long time to spend in the hold you know.
​
I eventually arrived in Perth, Scotland.  I am here to spend some time with the proposal team in within Aviva Insurance UK.  My first impressions were very good – the views are beautiful …

But there’s no rest for the wicked and they soon set me to work…

​Aviva has offices all over the UK, so they’re are big fans of teleconferencing.  They invited me to sit in on a couple of them – it was so interesting to hear how they coordinated all of the different parts of their company to deliver insurance solutions to some pretty big customers.

After all of that hard work I decided to explore a bit about the Scottish culture, I did a bit of research…(check out my wee kilt, by the way – they wrestled me into it the moment I arrived)

I sampled a drop of whisky.  The beginning of the night was excellent, although I’m not sure what happened after the first hour.

I was feeling rather the worse for wear the following day so the team put me on to another local delicacy – it’s called Iron Bru.  It’s bright orange with enough sugar to keep a narcoleptic up all night.  It certainly sorted me out.

I spent the day proof reading a few of the proposals that the team are currently working on and reviewing some of the successes the team have had.

So that concludes my time here are Aviva – it’s been a blast but I must press on with my journey.  Here’s a picture of me and some of the team…

Farewell…
