Tapes and dispensers – essential for efficient packing

2 Nov

If your business does any sort of packing or delivering, you’ll find proper tapes and dispensers really help to speed the process up, making things a lot more efficient and effective for your company.

These days there are a host of different types of tapes and dispensers available, from standard brown packing tapes through to printed tapes with special messages on them. You can even get a “no noise” tape that doesn’t make that annoying screeching sound when it’s unravelled, you can pack things up without disturbing anyone else in the office.

If you do a lot of packing, it also helps to invest in a tape dispenser to make taping must faster and easier.

Offshore companies to save tax and support investment

27 Oct

For businesses who want to expand and yet maintain tight financial control, often using offshore companies can offer both the benefits of tax breaks to allow for more control over the company budget and providing a simple and cost effective means to explore new investment opportunities.

Forming an overseas company can maximise tax free income and capital and provide a straightforward means to support investments and company assets for a stronger return.

Finding overseas company formation services is often a case of investigating the jurisdiction that is best for your business and seeking an expert who is specialised in the designated area – enough that they can assist you in setting up your overseas company.

Top quality office supplies

26 Oct

Office supplies are essential to the smooth operation of any business. They may seem trivial, but without them, things would soon grind to a halt.

Although important, office supplies aren’t really something you want to spend a lot of time thinking about. It’s always a good idea to find a supplier who does next-day delivery: that way, if you do run out of something essential you can resupply quickly with the minimum of disruption to the smooth running of your business.

It also makes sense to choose a supplier with the widest possible range of stock, as you don’t want to have to waste time wading through directories to find what you need. Look for a one-stop-shop that you know you can trust.

How to prepare for psychometric assessments

21 Oct

It is important that you know how to prepare for a psychometric assessment, and how you would tackle such a task in an interview.

Psychometric assessments are, in a way, like an IQ test and are carried out to demonstrate your problem solving ability and your process of selection.

While it is impossible to know what questions come up, you can practice. For example a lot of psychometric assessments make use of numerical questions to practise doing sums in your head in the lead up to the interview.

Oh and the best advice (you’ll lots of advice on the web) is true of all interviews and exams – get a good nights sleep.

Now good luck!

Executive apartments – perfect for longer business trips

21 Oct

If you find yourself facing the prospect of spending a week or more in London while you’re attending a conference or participating in a course, remember that you’re not duty bound to stay in a hotel during your extended visit. A quick Google will reveal a number of companies that rent out executive apartments in London to businesspeople looking for accommodation (this sort of place), either in the short term or the longer term, owing to work commitments in the capital (information on London). Living in executive apartments means that you have the freedom to come and go as you please – and it gives you space to think at the end of the working day.

Team building in Glasgow – building effective work relationships

13 Oct

After experiencing team building in Glasgow, I can happily say it has worked wonders in my office.

People are more confident, they are communicating more effectively and they are working more efficiently. I also believe it has helped to foster better relationships between me and my colleagues – and that has created a happier workplace.

Glasgow is a great venue for team building exercises, as it is close to some stunning woodland, where you can experience activities like quad biking, archery and high ropes courses.

However, if Glasgow is not particularly convenient, I also know of companies that provide team building in Perth and Edinburgh.

Accommodation for London exhibitions – where to stay when in the capital

12 Oct

Corporate exhibitions are a large part of business, and I often have to travel to London to host these for my company.

I was getting a bit tired of hotels, so it is fortunate I found this accommodation for London exhibitions. The apartments are conveniently placed for some of the biggest exhibition centres in the capital.

They also offer a more homely feel than any hotel – and that is really what I miss most when travelling.

Of course, there are plenty of options when staying in London. But I think nothing compares to this type of serviced apartment.

Indeed, I have recommended it to some of my colleagues who also travel for exhibitions and meetings.

8 Oct

As a fast-growing commercial centre, Belfast is constantly attracting professionals who are eager to live and work in this attractive and lively city. But, with so many people vying for accommodation, finding houses and apartments to rent in Belfast can be an issue. A friend of ours recently moved to Belfast (find out more about this great city) to take up a new post, and he was fortunate to find accommodation easily and quickly using a property-finding website (like this one). Simply by entering a few details about the sort of apartments to rent in Belfast he was looking for, he was able to get a list of all the property matching his requirements that was currently for rent in the city. Then it was simply a case of picking out the ones he liked and going to view them.

London Bridge apartment – convenient accommodation for business travellers

8 Oct

As any frequent business traveller will tell you, living out of a suitcase loses its novelty very quickly. I regularly have to head down to London for meetings and conferences, and whilst the hotel accommodation was fine, I now stay in a convenient London Bridge apartment instead. A friend recommended these fully furnished apartments near London Bridge as an alternative to staying in hotels (see here for examples), and he was right. They are absolutely perfect for business people who visit the city regularly. They’re central, so ideal for getting to various venues around the Capital (here’s a good site all about London). Plus, there’s nothing to beat having your own privacy at the end of a long, tiring day.
