Romania, escaped the Room!
Along with new changes and new management, the Bucharest Creditinfo team organized a wonderful team building last Friday. They reinforced their communication and teamwork skills by taking part in the amazing “Escape Room” adventure http://realroomescape.com/. This really helped with thinking outside the box and to be creative. Their team is proud to announce that, by being cooperative, efficient and innovative, we managed to escape from one of the greatest challenges that game had to offer!

Almar's Monthly Message – December 2014
Another year draws to a close and over the past 12 months, we have celebrated successes, worked hard, laughed, said goodbye to some of our colleagues, welcomed new colleagues, made changes, faced challenges, relocated and/or redecorated offices. It’s been a busy year!
I would like to thank all our staff for their determination, dedication, skill and commitment in making Creditinfo what it is today.
Having gone from a one man band almost 2 decades ago, Creditinfo has grown into a dynamic and very well respected organisation with 280 employees who are located in numerous countries around the globe. We have our own 100% owned offices, we have some great joint ventures and partnerships as major and minor shareholders, and we have our software established and operating in many more countries – we are everywhere! Between us we speak almost 30 different languages, maybe more. Continue reading »
Christmas traditions around the world
We found this cool link which explains how different cultures around the globe celebrate Christmas.
Click the link: http://www.whychristmas.com/cultures/
You can read about some very strange traditions that are celebrated. From the Icelandic Yuletide lads / Jólasveinarnir to the Lithuanian tradition of cleaning the house for Kūčios / Christmas Eve. And in the Czech Republic you must read about people fasting and looking for the golden pig – We think that maybe down to too much Becherovka!
Come and meet us at….

We will be one of the Partner organisations at this event. So if you know of anyone else that would like to attend and meet us there, just let us know. More info on the conference at:
