As we bid farewell to 2023, Baker Ing reflects on a vibrant year of growth, innovation, and industry impact. It’s been a period where we not only consolidated our expertise in credit and receivables management but also expanded our reach and influence across the industry.

A standout achievement this year has been the launch of these very Baker Ing Bulletins. These weekly insights are quickly becoming a cornerstone of industry intelligence, amassing nearly 2000 subscribers in just a few short months, already reading weekly. The popularity of these updates underscores our aim to provide thought leadership and act as your trusted advisors in the trade credit space.

Commitment to in-depth analysis and actionable insights was further evident in the release of a whole raft of new sector-specific research reports. Covering diverse areas like Healthcare, Automotive, FMCG, and Beauty & Perfumes, these reports offered strategic guidance, helping our clients navigate the complexities of their markets. These publications have been offered free in full for all, and we continued to improve access by offering online viewing of the reports with dynamic updates.

2023 also saw key additions to the Baker Ing family. The arrival of industry experts such as Bill Dunlop EAICD FCICM-MIEx EIICM EACCEE and John Kelly marked a significant expansion of our capabilities. Their expertise in international credit and order-to-cash processes has greatly enriched our service offerings and client interactions, enhancing our reputation as a global leader in our field.

Another highlight this year was our active participation in pivotal events like the Credit Expo Belgium, AICDP – Association Of International Credit Directors and Professionals , Credit Matters XII with Callisto Grand, and the Irish Credit Team Awards with Declan Flood which showcased our commitment to industry engagement and professional development. Additionally, our hosted events and webinars, including the Baker Ing Credit Cruise in London, and the Situation Room in Krakow have been not just platforms for knowledge sharing but also celebrations of our vibrant professional community.

As we look towards 2024, Baker Ing is poised to continue our trajectory of impactful growth and innovation. We are committed to building on the successes of this year, furthering our mission of delivering exceptional services and fostering a community of well-informed and connected credit professionals.

We have a whole lot more planned!

2023 has been a remarkable year for Baker Ing. Our journey has been a testament to the dedication, excellence and leadership of our people, partners and clients. We look forward to the new year with renewed enthusiasm, ready to embrace new challenges, new opportunities, and to continue our journey of innovation and excellence in high-value and sensitive accounts receivable.

Merry Christmas.
