SuiteBox, the mobile office solution for professionals, is prioritising Australasian growth in the second half of this year as it prepares for a global expansion early next year.
Ian Dunbar, SuiteBox CEO, said, “SuiteBox has had global ambitions from day one. The technology is applicable in highly-regulated and compliance-driven developed world economies as well as in developing economies, where physical distance and travel could be an issue. Equally, SuiteBox has application across a number of professional industry verticals like law, accounting and even medicine. However, our first priority is to rapidly grow SuiteBox in Australasia among financial services companies. Our integration with Midwinter is an excellent example of a mutually beneficial partnership and we look forward to announcing new partnerships in due course.
“In terms of our global growth plan, we are already in discussions with financial services groups in South Africa and the UK regarding partnering with SuiteBox, and will be opening offices in those countries in the near term. The UK and South African financial planning communities have similar compliance and regulatory pressures to Australia and SuiteBox could easily be adopted by planners there. Financial advisers are time poor and a tool that enables them to engage more regularly face-to-face, but without the associated travel time and in a compliance supportive way, is high on their wish list.
“Financial services professionals, such as financial advisers, mortgage brokers, accountants and insurance providers face challenges on multiple fronts, but we’re convinced that the best businesses will not only survive, but thrive. By embracing technology and innovation financial services professionals have the opportunity to create truly mobile virtual meetings between themselves and their clients and SuiteBox is excited to be at the forefront of delivering mobile office solutions globally,” said Dunbar.
