On Thursday 7th October 2021, Econocom and Trams gathered for their first joint Town Hall meeting at Hotel Café Royal in London. They were honoured by the presence of Jean-Louis Bouchard, Econocom Chairman, Angel Benguigui, Group Managing Director, and David Molins, Group Communications Director.

The event was the perfect opportunity to meet each other properly, discuss future plans for Trams l Econocom and raise a glass to this exciting new adventure.

The meeting began with a welcome speech by Frances Weston, Managing Director at Econocom North America, UK & IRL, and was followed by an inspiring Q&A session with Jean-Louis Bouchard, Angel Benguigui and David Molins.

When asked about the secret of his company’s success, Jean-Louis Bouchard described himself as honest and audacious, making difficult decisions when needed. He strongly encouraged Trams l Econocom employees to ‘have fun’ whilst pursuing their ideas with courage, and ended his speech with a quote from Winston Churchill: “Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

An interview between Angel Benguigui, Frances Weston, Warren Peel – Managing Director at Trams – and James Goulding – Editorial Director of Technology Reseller (a leading UK magazine for the reseller community) – also took place to discuss the Trams integration and exciting development plans in the UK and international markets.
