Description

Not just a Call-Centre, but an extraordinary Personal Assistant service and Virtual Office for all businesses - small to large. They really do provide superb value for money. They have been looking after me for a long time now and my business would not be where it is without them. Indeed, I hope theirs wouldn't be where it is without me - but there you go. Call them and try them out today...

This must be the best florist in the country. Anita Jojo has a real flair for creating beautiful designs in flowers. But that's not all - check out the site and see what else they do. Another real go-ahead company. With help from me here & there too of course.

A Public Relations company par-excellence. They provide a friendly personal service, and yet are professional throughout. Rex Garrett is the man to call. He knows what the press want to see in editorials, so he can get you in places no-one else can.

An unusual site - but extremely useful if you just want to wander off somewhere strange and need to buy some of those little handy things you have to have whilst half way up the side of a mountain, or whilst white-water rafting. You know the sort of thing.

A client based in Bromley in Kent who are expanding at a rate of knots. Their secret is purely down to the quality of service and the fact that they look after their customers. They are an example to us all. Well done John, Jean & Roger. If you are in that area and are looking for office space - then look no further...

Chris Barrow - Business Coach Extraordinaire is behind this company. Another member of Altrincham BNI, take a look at their site and see if they can help you. Chris tells me he is preparing a new site soon, specialising on the coaching side of the business. It should be interesting.

Barrie Hawkyard is Hawk Consultancy. He told me recently that he is moving his business towards advising film and TV companies on police matters. As an ex copper he should know. He's also a dab hand at a few other things. Take a look.

Industrial Common Ownership Finance - if you are a co-op or operating in the social economy - then ICOF are there to help. They have been around for years and could tell the high street banks a thing or two about lending. Call them today.

I helped ART in the early days, and I am very proud to be linked to them. It was started by Pat Conaty - really great guy - and it has now blossomed. They lend money and support businesses and charities in the social economy in Birmingham. Ask for Steve Walker - he is sure to be of help.

Want to be an internet entrepreneur - look at this site. Another client who is going places - perhaps you could follow...

Now this really is unusual. This site is all about about Glastonbury in England - but check the section on Palden Jenkins. He has written some incredible stuff, which should be read with an open mind. Look it up and read on...

If you want to do something for the environment - you can do it now and it won't cost you a penny. Click on the site and see... Whilst on the subject - why not join a few other genuinely good causes - Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and Sustrans.

FREETEL offer a superb service to small & medium sized businesses with daytime free Internet access (that is no phone call costs) and all sorts of web help - for under £40 per month. If you are in business and want the sort of support that the "freebies" can't support - then try this lot out now. Buy some shares too - I did. Perhaps that way they might just go up a little...

This is the most successful business network organisation in the world ~ and guess who happens to be a member? I am in the Altrincham Chapter and it has been the best way for me to get new business I have ever found. There's bound to be a group in your area.

CAF are the hub of the voluntary sector. In recent years I have done a lot of work for CAF - training charities to be better businesses and as a Loans Officer. If you have any involvement with any charities - take a look. They could be very useful.

A publisher of books based in Dublin and lovely people. But then again I am biased as they publish my wife's books and in my opinion every home should have one. (Incidentally her name is Robin Bottomley if you wanted to look for her books).
