Amazing Office Deal For Networkers!

As you will have read in previous newsletters, one of the factors that make Clarendon different is that your office is an investment and not just a cost. We are delighted when we hear about our clients winning business or receiving introductions from their fellow Clarendon neighbours.

So, this month we have an amazing offer to all businesses belonging to local referral networking groups - e.g. BNI, BRE and 4Networking etc. If you belong to a local business networking group, then you qualify for our fabulous networking deal:

Opportunity One: If you sign a four month contract or more, for any of our office spaces including office space Bournemouth, your first month will be free!

Opportunity Two: Free call forwarding to local or national numbers for qualifying virtual office clients (plus up to 50 free text messages).

Opportunity Three: Ad hoc office hire during July and August at just £15.00 per day including internet access.

As with all of our offers and features, terms and conditions apply.

If you are interested in any of the above, you need to contact Candy Woodington on 01865 339300 or email: newsletter@clarendon-enterprise.co.uk during June 2010 to qualify.

Client Success Story: Ross Insurance Group Limited

With 25 years worth of experience, Mark Ross understands about the major pitfalls of the Insurance Broker Business. One of the biggest issues is that some insurance brokers may be tempted to categorise their clients into easy-to-manage "boxes".

For example, a larger brokerage may decide what products and service to offer you, based on your how much premium you spend or how much revenue you make them. On the other hand, a small brokerage may not be influential enough to offer you the full range of available products or have the leverage with insurers to get you the best deal.

Mark established Ross Insurance Group Limited to address these pitfalls and he provides a highly personal service to clients, but with the industry knowledge to support a full portfolio of products suitable for all sizes of business.

"Moving into Abbey House, the office space Bracknell was a master stroke", says Mark. "My clients rightly expect the best service from my company and the Clarendon staff ensure that we can provide it. With a top quality office environment and excellent client service from the Clarendon team, my clients are well-looked after, and this reinforces our professional approach."

Ross Insurance Group are delighted to offer a 5% discount on selected insurance products and services to Clarendon clients, subject to terms and conditions. Additionally, if within the next 30 days, you email Mark at enquiries@riguk.com with your business insurance renewal dates, stating the type of insurance (for example office, professional indemnity, fleet etc.) who the insurer is and your premium, he will enter you into a champagne draw. Not only you could benefit from less expensive insurance premiums, but you could also be enjoying a glass of bubbly too!

Bournemouth Focus: Models Wanted

We are delighted to have such a diverse range of clients within our Clarendon portfolio.

Fiona Blake runs Media Model Management, which is an exciting model agency based in Bournemouth.

They provide men, women, and children of all sizes, shapes and ages for work in fashion, corporate events, promotional work, advertising and television.

They are always on the look out for new models and Bristol and West House, our office space Bournemouth provides the perfect environment for potential models to come and meet Fiona and her friendly team.

"We're often running campaigns for new models and it's great to know that the Clarendon team will field all of our calls when we're on an assignment. Each call could be from the next Cameron Diaz or from our next big client - so we are delighted that the Clarendon team field each call as professionally as we do ourselves."

Additionally, Fiona also found the time to run the London Marathon on behalf of The London Ambulance Service this year! Please contribute to this worthy cause on her justgiving page at: http://www.justgiving.com/Fiona-Blake.

Oxford Focus: Support The Fire Brigade

On Saturday June 12th, firefighting crews from across Oxfordshire will scale two firefighting ladders in Cornmarket Street. They will scale the ladders a total of 885 times - the equivalent of scaling the height of Mount Everest!

All money raised will go to the Firefighters Charity, which assists fire service personnel during their times of need - because every year, thousands of fire fighters are injured whilst protecting the public.

Clarendon are delighted to promote this event and if you would like to donate some money to this charity, please email Pauline Tyldesley at ptyldesley@firefighterscharity.org.uk or call her on 01256 366566.

Congratulations to our winner, Karen Chandler from Zenergy, who will shortly receive her prize voucher.

June Competition - "Terry and June"
