One year ago at Edgbaston, England wicketkeeper Geraint Jones held a superb catch to win what many consider to be the most exciting Test match ever. England beat Australia in a dramatic finish by only 2 runs, which proved to be the historic turning point in a series that saw England ultimately regain the Ashes for the first time in 18 years.
On Monday 24 July, SoftCo - the official sponsor of Geraint Jones - would like to invite you back to Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham, to relive the drama with Geraint.
This event will also mark another milestone with the official UK launch of SoftCo Rondo, the first truly affordable solution for delivering efficiency, compliance and control to the Accounts Payable process. An experienced panel of experts from the Legal, Accounts Payable and IT industry will provide an insight on how to automate the purchase-to- pay process.
To celebrate the launch of SoftCo Rondo, all delegates* attending the official launch will also receive by open draw a signed Cricket Bat from either Geraint Jones, Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff or England captain Michael Vaughan. Geraint will be on hand for a Q&A session and will also be available for autograph signing and photographs.
