Another week has gone by where much of the work was meeting with people and talking to existing clients regarding new websites and upgrades.
The exciting part of the week was a visit to The Palace Hub in Redcar. It's still a building site and won't be complete until December but you can see the building taking shape. Adrian from Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council kindly took some time out from a very busy schedule to show me around, including a look at where our office would be with a cracking view out to sea. It was all very impressive, apart from me looking like a short & fat Village People lookalike in hard hat and high-vis jacket, and we plan to move in subject to contract. Exciting times ahead.
We also discussions with existing clients and will be creating three new websites as a result of those discussions to add to the four we are already working on. The new sites are a tree contractor's site for our client's new company in Newmarket, a complete upgrade of a Surrey client's pest control site and an oil storage tank site for a client based in the North East. We have spoken to a number of freelancer's we know and plan to use a small number of trusted people to come into our office and help with any new projects.
This week sees us with two new people in the office. Cameron is doing 1 week's work experience from school and we're planning on getting him to build his own personal website which will showcase his skills - we'll see how that goes and post a link when done. We've also got Chloe coming in for the week for a work trial. We've already interviewed Chloe and were impressed, if all goes well this week we will be offering her an apprenticeship and we believe that she can make a big impression on our sales figures in the long term. We've also created the job description for a social digital apprentice and the adverts for that should go out shortly - if you're interested call us on 01642 438173 for more details.
