Unilever mandates use of pro-ven

The new Unilever UK Chairman, Amanda Sourry, has mandated the use of pro-ven for all UK meetings and events. The directive is supported by the implementation of a Citibank meetings card, and by the end of 2010 all Unilever sites in the UK will be operating a consolidated payment process managed by pro-ven. As well as providing extended credit, the solution that has seen Unilever and pro-ven working closely together with Citibank will streamline the booking and payment process and reduce Unilever’s administration costs.

Jason Yiasoumi, FCCA, Commercial Director at pro-ven says “The efficiencies and credit enhancement opportunities delivered by implementing a meetings card are highly attractive to corporate clients. pro-ven was able to demonstrate four years of successfully operating  such a solution for other major clients and this gave Unilever the confidence to put the meetings card in place across their UK businesses. In addition venues are getting paid quickly and accurately which make the proposition attractive to all parties.”
