The “PT Closer To You” Road Show continues to travel around the country. After Leiria and Coimbra, Bragança will yet again, be privileged with themes such as the service quality of companies within the Portugal Telecom universe, as well as “Proximity”, “Availability” and “Social and Cultural Responsibility”.
Clients, employees and institutional entities are the target market for this Road Show which personally involves the Executive Commission of the PT Group though a true decentralization by carrying out of various activities which have a social impact in the areas visited.
More than a programme which has been specifically designed according to each capital of a district, Portugal Telecom’s presence will also be marked by the presence of a truck where a technological show case will be set up with the most advanced and innovative communication solutions.
The visit of the Executive Commission was intense and included various activities. Graça Bau and Manuel Rosa da Silva, Executive Directors of PT Comunicações, paid a visit in the morning to a PT Comunicações store. The prizes were given to the best, oldest and newest client. The best salesperson was also awarded.
Before a lunch with the employees and the Executive Commission, a Work-Shop was given regarding the theme “The Balance of 2004. Business and the Company in 2005”. Miguel Horta e Costa, Chairman of the Executive Commission highlighted the fact that “no-one from the Executive Commission had visited Bragança in over 15 years. That is why, it is with great pleasure that we break this time and space barrier”. While speaking to the employees, Miguel Horta e Costa stated that “the client is one of the PT Group’s priorities. It is for the client that we are innovating and improving ourselves every day”.
