Once they've gone... they've gone!

Client Success Story: S&D Leisure

S & D Leisure is Europe's largest independent operator of mobile simulators - you will believe you are flying a Harrier Jump Jet or competing in the Isle of Man Motorcycle TT! S & D Leisure also operate three static facilities in seaside and theme park developments in Aberdeen, Bournemouth, and on the Essex coast.

S & D Leisure are also the organisers of the Bournemouth German Market (see below) and they recently moved into Bristol & West House.

"We needed a Bournemouth base" says Managing Director, Stanley Reeves, "and the Clarendon team were incredibly helpful. Our business needs a powerful telecoms infrastructure and Clarendon were able to meet our exacting requirements. We were up and running in only a few hours!"

Oxford Business Success Seminars – Sir John Allison

We are delighted to announce that Sir John Allison, a former Air Chief Marshal of the Royal Air Force, will be presenting our Breakfast Business Success Seminar in Prama House on Tuesday 17th November 2009 at 8.30am.

Sir John offers personal leadership development and coaching services through his company, Armorial Executive Development.

"Everyone who runs a business has to be a leader. As we all know, the success of any business is greatly influenced by the motivation and commitment of the employees. Would you like to be a more effective leader? This talk, from someone who has spent the majority of his working life in leadership roles, will give you the necessary insights".

Places are limited. To reserve your seat, please call Anne O’Reilly on 01865 339300.

So Which One Is The Stig?

Some say… At Clarendon, you have to be prepared for the unexpected!

Imagine our surprise, when nipping out of Prama House with our golf racquets, we found ourselves right in the middle of a TV programme!

It appears that Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson and James May had decided to drive what can only be described as a car made entirely out of wood and abandon it outside Clarendon's North Oxford business centre, whilst they proceeded to film a classic Top Gear "discussion"!

A herd of children soon assembled, but many thanks to our client Daniel Kitchen for capturing the moment on his camera phone. We can also exclusively reveal that Boris Johnson is not in fact "The Stig"!

And, on that bombshell, we look forward to appearing in the next series!

A Testimonial from Julian Cooper: "Only Excellence Should Be Rewarded"

"I believe that we as a society, have become accepting of, and apathetic to, mediocre service and unfortunately it is apparent everywhere.

You know, the service that just "does enough" and doesn't go the extra yard, never mind the extra mile. I recently let my property in Oxford out through Simon Fisher Residential Lettings and I must say that as a company they travelled that extra distance quite literally in fact, or more precisely a round trip of 5 miles.

Let me explain, while my property was being prepared for an incoming tenant that had been swiftly found, my burglar alarm decided to set itself off for no apparent reason, and not stop, all morning, all afternoon and well into the evening..."
