Newsletter - April 2009
Welcome to the April edition of Peterborough Workspace Newsletter.
We again had a little bit of movement in March, with two business moving out and one business moving in. The trend for the year continues to be positive, as we have seen nine businesses move in and six move out, leaving us with only three vacant units the details of which appear below. Enquiries are currently running at a very good level and averaging approximately 2-3 per week.
One of the important services that we offer to our businesses is a full security system, which is excellently supported by Mark2 Security. Last month the system was put to the test when we had a break in. The thieves smashed an office window which triggered the alarm, but nevertheless brazenly entered the building. However, within ten minutes the security personnel were on site which meant that the thieves only had time to steal £10 from the post tin. The security system was so sound that the thieves never left the office. Although the thieves fled before Mark 2 Security arrived, their images were caught on CC tv which has been passed to the police.
Last month we had three excellent and well attended workshops from NatWest bank, Tony Larkins of Beacon Financial and Mark Jackson of Rawlinsons. This month we have two scheduled; Alan Brighton of Action Coach “The simple measures every business needs to thrive in a recession” and Mark Jackson of Rawlinsons delivering the second of their highly regarded Business Builder forums.
This month's Business Link article talks about business financial health checks, which is very relevant at this time.
Peterborough Workspace is ideal for those businesses working from home who want to get to the next level. If you are aware of any such business which would benefit from the services which we provide please refer them directly to me.
