Dear Friend, March 2016
The first quarter of 2016 has proven to be a positive start for our company, with more activity in both the areas of teaching as in exports, but above all with several great projects in sourcing.
A major tender corresponding to various container loads of a miscellaneous goods for Latin America implied a heavy workload for the sourcing team, hence our important dedication to this initiative in the current Newsletter.
Additionally, in exports we will show more info about the activities of Pierre Yu with wine bars and restaurants in China.
In terms of teaching activities new collaboration projects with ESIC in Zaragoza and Afundación in Vigo will be fully covered.
Hoping that you will enjoy reading this Newsletter, we are looking forward to your feedback.
Warm regards from Barcelona,
Tom Van der Heyden
Co-Founder and CEO – S3 Group

Sales network
This time we would like to highlight a specific customer, namely the Casal Català de Beijing (i.e. the Catalan House in Beijing). Thanks to the work of Anna Boladeras we managed to work tightly together with the association, giving them the chance to try and buy a number of products, including but not limited to wines and cavas.
