Essex Business Networks, Brentwood, Essex

(This was posted 8 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 9 hours, 25 minutes's ago.)

Just back from Essex Business Networks meeting at the Marygreen Manor hotel in Brentwood.

It’s a small meeting but the members are enthusiastic and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Steve Parker was there from i4 Visual Media as well as Scott Muller from Citylights Payroll, Ian Smith from Coloursmith, Robert Hutchinson from St.James's Place Wealth Management and one or two others that I didn’t manage to get business cards from (sorry guys).

Business to business networking is very important for my business as we really benefit from personal referrals of clients and contacts, so the more opportunity we have to make contacts and build relationships the better!

Anyway, Essex Business Networks, Thursday mornings, 06:45 at the Marygreen Manor, Brentwood – would be good to see you one week!

Just about to go Networking

(This was posted 8 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 13 hours, 47 minutes's ago.)

It’s silly o’clock, cold and dark and I am just about to go networking in Brentwood Essex at an event I’ve not been to before – Essex Business Networks.

I’ll let you know later today how it goes but I’m interested in finding out where you go and what you do for business networking.

Getting Ready for 2010?

(This was posted 8 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 22 hours, 48 minutes's ago.)

In the run up to Christmas we get slower and slower and so we start looking at what we are doing and start to plan what we want to do internally – then it happens, the Xmas rush for our clients is over and they are wanting to speak to us.

Typically we are at our busiest in Jan, Feb & March as clients and contacts think about the New Year and what they are doing.

So my question to you is simple – what are you doing?

New Website, Public Sewer Services.

(This was posted 8 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 23 hours, 40 minutes's ago.)

I have to say that Public Sewer Services may not sound like a favourable topic but what they do, how they do it and the customer service they provide is second to none.

Sewer Installation, Renovation, Repair and Maintenance – possibly not topics that will float around every dinner table but without PSS the underground waterworks would soon fail...

There site is built using our favoured CMS ‘ExpressionEngine’. It is XHTML Transitional and should be compliant with the DDA/WCAG and W3C.

Public Sewer Services can;

• Add/Change Remove Text
• Add/Change Remove Strap line
• Add/Change Remove Banner Image
• Add/Change Remove Banner Image for a flash file (.swf file)
• Add/Change Remove in-page links to other pages
• Add/Change Remove thumbs on right-hand side
• Administer Meta Data
• Add/Change or Remove News Articles
• Assign Articles to Categories
• Add/Change or Replace Services
• Assign Services to ‘Service Groups’

In fact in terms of what they can administer there is very little they can’t do. Add to this that by using different ExpressionEngine modules the administration of the site could not be much easier.

The site was designed by Baseline Creative in 2007, this latest update has not seen any design input, it’s really a function update.

So here you are, Public Sewer Services – go and have a look at them.

Take a look at ALM Training Services.

We developed in conjunction with Baseline Creative a great brand for them and then designed their website.

The site is designed to give them visibility for the services they offer, allowing them to promote each and every course.
