Do you ever have that awkward moment when you bump into someone you know you've met before, but you can't remember their name? And it's even more awkward when they can remember yours! Our member Catherine Cole gave a handy education slot on this very subject, highlighting the benefits of remembered details about your clients and other contacts, as well as sharing some top tips on how to improve your memory for names - including repetition, association and writing things down. Our 8-minute presenter was Steve Davis from Office Evolution Ltd who told us more about the different elements of his business, from managed print solutions to a wide range of office supplies (from fruit to furniture - certainly not limited to stationery and loo roll!) available on the Evo Store, as well as facilities project management. Steve attributes his business success to hiring the right people and making decisions on what's best for the Office Evolution family. Many of our members have either benefitted from the services provided by Steve and his team. Furthermore, Steve is respected as a mentor who is happy to share his business tips and experience with other members. Great to find out about the Youth Adventure Trust today from new visitor Natalie Levin. https://lnkd.in/gYC3Wpw If you would like to make new connections with local business owners, drop us a DM to arrange a visit too! #networking #business

A busy morning in sunny Devizes visiting a brand new client in need of HR support, both in terms of updating and creating documents, implementing HR systems, as well as guidance on a complex matter. As with many small business owners who wear lots of hats, HR often only rises to the top of the agenda when there is an immediate issue requiring attention. We help by taking the stress out of the situation, clarifying next steps and putting in place the right foundations to support efficiency, compliance and business results. It's always helpful to understand where new client enquiries come from. Typically, the vast majority of our work comes through old-fashioned word of mouth, however I've noticed a sharp increase in enquires from online search results over the past few weeks, which has led to some exciting new clients. Including today's visit, which followed a telephone enquiry yesterday. I have a suspicion that this may have something to do with having a chat with Darren Earney who we met at Business Growth Group who kindly gave us some handy tips on how to optimise our website, which my colleague Amandine Catoire has been busy putting into practice! Good to know SEO doesn't have to be complex or expensive to make an impact. 📸 A post-meeting picture of Devizes locks on my walk back to my car, as it was such a beautiful day!

It's very nearly Friday, our favourite day of the week. Last Friday's meeting was certainly busy, with several new visitors to meet from a diverse cross-section of businesses around Wiltshire. We hope you enjoyed your visit. We had an insightful education slot from Paul Turner of FT Chronic Pain Solicitors about mental wellbeing and learning about our stress container - what adds to it and what releases stress for us. Paul has just qualified as a mental health first aider to support both his clients and wider network - a great qualification to have. Thank you Paul for shining the spotlight on such an important subject. It was Kevin Wiltshire from KINGS COURT FINANCIAL PLANNING LLP's turn to give a presentation about his business. He gave great examples of how his clients have benefitted from his advice in different scenarios. Kevin's considerable knowledge and professionalism shone through. Many thanks to all for making it such a great meeting and see you bright and early tomorrow! #networking #BusinessGrowth #Wiltshire #MentalWellbeing

Celebrating with the team today after receiving our Gold Partner accreditation from Breathe. It was a lovely surprise to receive a Fortnum & Mason hamper to enjoy. Thank you Faye Veal 💫for all your support. Huge thanks to our HR Projects & Operations Manager Amandine Catoire for all your efforts in supporting our clients with streamlining their HR admin and procedures. Thanks also to our clients for coming on the Breathe journey with us. It's great to receive feedback on how this benefits your business - like Sam O'Connor from The Floor Smith Ltd explains: “We moved from paperwork/folders for all our HR and holiday records to Breathe with ease! I was very worried of the change but with Amandine from KR HR & Training Consultancy Ltd's help it was amazing. All our employees are now on the app and love that they can see each others holiday to plan their own holidays. Having all their details in one place makes day-to-day jobs much quicker too. Thank you to all the KR HR team for your effort and commitment.” Interested in a free trial of Breathe?
