Small is Beautiful – An “Emporium of wonderful things” comes to Nottingham

yourhomeforbusiness — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 20:37:39 +0000

My sources tell me that a new concept store will soon be opening in Nottingham’s Historical Georgian District of Castle Gate.

I have been reliably informed that An “Emporium of wonderful things” and ”exciting happenings” the likes of which you’ve never experienced, will be coming to a beautiful hidden Grade 2 Star, Listed Georgian Mansion which has been lost in a time warp, but is less than 60 meters or so from M&S flagship store on Lister Gate in Nottingham City Centre. Sir Paul Smith, A known lover of Architecture, Nottingham and Fashion recently converted a similar building just up the hill and following the success of the store, Sir Paul and the rest of us will have the opportunity to see inside Stanford House fo the first time. We have been given e a sneak preview of one of the “undiscovered” rooms in this wonderful house. The vintage wallpaper in the room is believed to have ben un touched for 80 yrs or so.

This room is one of the former servants bedrooms; you can imagine what the rest of the house is like…. No details of the exciting offerings have been revealed as yet but if you’d like to know more click here or visit www.stanfordhousenottingham.com

Hot Desking Takes off in the Nottingham Office Space Market

yourhomeforbusiness — Sat, 22 May 2010 07:37:21 +0000

The term Hot Desking is quoted by work place researchers as deriving from a term first coined by the US Navy – hot racking. This was the practice where the sailors on different shifts would share bunks.

Financial Boom

In the financial boom of the late 1980s when office rental costs and land prices in major financial centres went through the roof, the phrase – Hot Desking, became common place where workers shared desk space or terminals. Also in the financial markets when new computer systems were introduced these ‘seats’ would be occupied around the clock by different groups of traders following the global markets.

Benefits of Hot Desking

Cost saving is an obvious motivation but these days hot desking provides an ideal opportunity for freelancers and start up businesses to get themselves on the track to success by providing;

Networking opportunities
A professional City Centre Address
Higher Google rankings due to non resi location
Access to support services.
A more professional work environment
Fewer distractions from home.

Ideal Next Step

Many start ups and freelancers have been known to use one of the many coffee houses e.g. Starbucks or Costa as a temporary Hot Desk solution. Whilst this is a great alternative for the occasional casual meting it will not help a business grow in the long run. The Hot desk really is the ideal next step prior to establishing a full time office.
