After some weeks of administrative work we have now achieved what is probably a milestone in ANI history. The company was operated since 1996 as what we call an "individual company". This is the legal form of a business and means amongst other that there is a single owner and he is 100% liable with his personal money.
As from now, the ANI operates as a Limited Company with a (small) board of directors and from a different head office:
Air Navigation Institute GmbH
Haldenstrasse 1
CH-6340 Baar
Switzerland
I am happy to present Erik Wirz as a new member of the board. He has a huge background as an senior executive. His track reccord includes
positions like, Director for Compaq in Houston, vice President for CA in London/Barcelona among others. He owns 5% of the ANI shares, I own the other 95%. I will act as the chairman of the board and obviously as the Master of Ceremony (a.k.a Managing Director).
For customers there is absolutely no change, everything remains the same. It's only an internal administrative change.
Recently I was often asked by customers for a company number or for a VAT number and could not provide one, as for individual companies registry with a number is not mandatory and training is not subject to VAT in Switzerland. Both issues are now no longer there. ANI training is still not subject to VAT but we have a VAT number.
Phone and Fax numbers in Baar can be found on the main ANI website. The old numbers are also valid as we still have the branch office in Interlaken.
