Special Congratulations go to our Regional Consultant of Year 2008 winners, for Romania – Maria & Ioan Dacian Marian, for Switzerland – Roswitha & Cuno Mueller, for Austria – Gerhard Klenner, for Germany – Karl-Heinz & Sybille Meier and for Hungary – Bilibok Arpad & Zsuzsa. These Consultants truly are some of Nikken’s greatest leaders and it was wonderful to recognise them for their achievements on stage at the end of the event in Budapest.

We partied into the night with an amazing Glow Show which was unforgettable.  I have many memories of the day and the evening, it was an absolute pleasure to be involved in the team organising the events for Nikken Consultants and to share such a wonderful day and evening with you all, such a great audience.  I can’t wait until the next event in 2010, book your ticket as soon as you can, we are already working now on making them the best events ever!
