Second generation printer and local entrepreneur Lawson Willett found he needed a new location for his ever-growing company. Not only the print side, but his range of businesses in fulfilment, logistics and content marketing. So he set about the task of checking every available location around town. Looking to steer clear of industrial units on the fringes of town, which he felt wouldn’t have the creative buzz he was looking for, he suddenly came across the old Gardiner Shoe Factory in Gloucester; once very busy but now sitting neglected, empty, missing its industrious past.

As the long slog to convert the building began and lots of usable rooms of all sizes and shapes began to emerge out of the gloom, people kept asking if they could rent desk-space from him. A whole range of people. Mainly entrepreneurs and small businesses needing to expand their offices from converted garages or overpriced offices, from rural businesses wanting roots in the city, from people working alone and missing the buzz of a team. So realising there was a need for co-working and virtual space for business professionals, for like-minded entrepreneurs and tech savvy individuals needing flexible, affordable, creative space in Gloucester, No1 Business Centre was born.

With our spacious meeting room, The Sole Room, based in our old mill, we can provide you with the support necessary to expand your growth. We accommodate all social occasions whether it be hosting events or delivering a training session to expand your own business. If you need a smaller meeting space for up to 6 people try our Binding Room with board table, beverage facilities and a projector available, you won’t be disappointed. Any event you want, we can host. If any food is required we are more than happy to provide it through an external catering service, who we will make sure to prepare scrumptious food platters. If any other information is required for your events, please contact us. We will be more than happy to assist you.

Meeting Room Booking

There are several things to think about when securing your perfect virtual business address Make sure you have room to grow your business. If your business grows, make sure the virtual office service provides options to expand with you. Features like flexible meeting room space, shared office space or desk space at the same address so that you don’t need to change your address when you grow. Meeting rooms and co-working or hot desks are an important set of options when considering a location. Check carefully that you can use your virtual business address as a physical base, and are you able to visit your trading or registered address and meet your clients there. If you need to work for a few hours’ in-between meetings do they have a hot desking service that you can use? Be a little quirky and don’t have the same address as another lot of other businesses via big corporate entities. Make sure your virtual office service company doesn’t allocate too many businesses to the same address. When you use their address you don’t really want it used by 100s of other companies, so Google the address and see what it shows – you want to find a discrete address that doesn’t scream ‘virtual office’. Ensure your virtual office address can provide both a Trading and Registered address. A Trading Address is one where you can use the address on your business cards and website and have letters/goods delivered. However, a Registered Address is one where you can use the address for statutory mail, i.e. mail from Companies House and HMRC. This is how Companies House defines a Registered Address: “All companies must have a registered office, which must be situated at a physical location in their country of registration. It can be your business address, the address of your accountant or any other address you choose. However, it must be an address at which you will be able to deal with all official letters and notices that you receive.” – Companies House It’s a real bonus if your Virtual Business service provider will also accept large package delivery. Make sure they allow delivery of large packages and letters. Same day mail forwarding for your mail items needs to be considered as another option. How quickly does your proposed service forward mail? Is it forwarded on the same day as received or the next day? Do they tell you when mail is received/forwarded? How do they ensure that mail sent has been received by you? You also need to consider if they will provide a scan service too if you are on the move or often abroad? Finally, take time to check out telephone answering services the service provider gives. You may need to have a local landline number to give a local presence. Can that number be used with an automatic answer service or call forwarded to your own mobile or can you work with a virtual PA?

ASAP – The Association of Serviced Apartment Providers were hosting a convention @Venues Bishopsgate London and in need of a flexible transport service delivering and collecting materials for the convention. ASAP were faced with a number of challenges in transporting their materials to and from the venue due to the nature of exhibition halls. The majority of Exhibition venues have strict instructions on set up and break down of stands etc. and booking in slots are required for delivery of any equipment. This causes issues for even the smallest of deliveries as the overnight and pallet networks aren’t flexible enough to accommodate such requests. DHL, DPD etc. can easily deliver on a timed before service such as a pre-9 or pre 12 but are enable to deliver at a specified time slot forcing the exhibitors to look to alternative transport solutions. To overcome the time specific delivery and collection asap needed a dedicated courier service. Working within the No.1 Business Centre encourages all of the companies based within it to collaborate, grow and work together. All About Freight are a Freight Forwarding and Courier Company www.allaboutfreight.co.uk who specialise in Same Day deliveries. A dedicated same day delivery enables you the customer to have your shipments collected and delivered on the date and time you require. With access to any sized vehicle All About Freight can react to any requirement throughout the country with collection times within 90 minutes. After discussing the requirements with asap All About Freight organised a dedicated vehicle to collect from Gloucester and deliver direct to the loading bay stipulated by Venues at the required time. With the service being a dedicated delivery the driver was on hand to unload the shipment and place it in the designated loading bay as instructed, unlike the network drivers Same Day Couriers will always assist in ensuring the goods being delivered are safely delivered and signed for by the correct signatory. The collection and return was organised for the end of the convention, asap informed All About Freight that the items for collection would be at a specific location and marked up for our attention. The Same Day Courier arrived within the allotted time slot, collected and delivered directly back to All About Freight where the items were stored until asap were on hand to receive the items. Being part of the No.1 Business Centre enables all the companies to learn best practices and gain knowledge by working together and utilising each other services. Whether it be print, design, IT or Logistics everyone is here to help and grow each other’s businesses.

At the No1 Business Centre co-workers and tenants are coming in thick and fast. We understand that we have created a great environment in the centre of Gloucester only 2 minutes walk from the train station and city centre but why are people saying we are the place to be for lone roomworkers, one man businesses and SME’s? Here’s what some know and others should about our co-working site in Gloucester. 1. Did you know you can register your business at No1 from only £45.00 per year? One simple form and some id and we will get you setup straight away. So your business doesn’t have to be based at your house giving you the air of establishment. 2. All our rental spaces come with free meeting room access. With spaces ranging from 1-2-1 and four people we have The Sole Room, able to house up to thirty delegates. 3. All beverages and kitchen facilities are included in every co-working price and offer we have. 4. We can open 24 hours a day 7 days a week if your work requires.

Customer: CW Creative on behalf of Typhoo Tea.

Service Supplied: Print, Hand finishing and Distribution.

Job: Launch of new Typhoo Health and Healthier range tea bag.

CW Creative contacted us after finding our CBF Fulfilment website online.

They needed a printer and fulfilment house that could produce a job for them, complete it to a high standard and deliver within one working week, and just a week before Christmas.

The job involved printing 50,000 5×5″ information cards. These were printed double sided on a high grade Silk paper stock and trimmed down to size.

The customer supplied to us 50,000 of the new Typhoo tea bags that were being launched. We liaised with Typhoo Tea to ensure the Tea Bags came to us on time and packaged in the correct as so we could handle them as quick as possible.

Once the tea bags came in we instantly began the work through our hand finishing department of affixing via a glue dot one tea bag on to each information card that we had printed.

Due to our extensive hand finishing department this took us just 6 hours to complete the 50,000 units.

We then had to box the tea bags carefully in to standardised quantities and prepare them for distribution to multiple delivery addresses across the country.

I am pleased to say everything went out to schedule, on time, just before Christmas ready for the big launch.

The customer was over the moon as they had not only not been able to find any other supplier that could complete the work in time before Christmas. We came in under what was actually a very tight budget for the amount of work and service that was needed.

Once they had actually received the items they complimented us on our overall service, including our level of communication throughout the whole process, our level of understanding of the job ahead, print quality of the information cards, finishing quality, standard of packaging, the fact we created a schedule in a tight situation and stuck to it and delivered on time as promised. All with their budget.

The campaign was a success and we are looking forward to working alongside CW Creative on other Campaigns in the near future. A new customer successfully won over.

Getting engagement from your audience can often be a difficult one. But, here are 10 simple ways to do just that.

1.Make people think

Evoking an emotional response from your audiences is a sure-fire way to get them to respond. Offer them new information that will teach them something or prompt them to ask questions.

2.Make people laugh

Build a personality. Don’t be one of those boring businesses with a very formal approach to their content. Humour shows that you are human. If you can make people laugh at your content, they’re more likely to share.

3.Learn basic photography skills.

We’re in a day and age where photography is more important than ever. Visuals are very important too. Research about what makes a good photo (Leading lines, lighting, symmetry etc…). Make it interesting. This is particularly useful for Instagram, where excellent photos mean everything.

4.Engage with followers whenever you can

If you want others to engage with you, you should show your willingness to engage with them. Create a dialogue with them. It’s good practice to engage with companies too.

5.Be precise

This is mostly aimed at Twitter as a platform. With a character limit, although it’s been extended to 280 characters, it isn’t always easy to write a whole bunch. So, keep it short, sweet and to the point. Don’t be over-concise.

6.Cover a story in your own words

If there’s content out there that’s trending, and it’s also relevant to you and your business, write about it! It’ll open a platform for discussion and perhaps provide new information to your followers. This is also an excellent opportunity to be controversial. Don’t agree with what’s being said? Good. Being controversial encourages different standpoints. People love their opinions.

7.Share content
