It’s an Office for All at Westbury-On-Trym

EVERY company wants a swish address, efficient receptionists and super secretarial services.
But it’s not every business that’s able to afford to buy – or even lease – its own office, let alone pay the salaries of someone to answer the phones, take messages, sort the faxes and handle the mail.
For small businesses, in particular, and especially those that are constantly on the move as part of their normal working day, a fully-manned office is a big addition to the monthly expenditure sheet.
But whether you can afford it or not, if you’re in business you simply must have someone ‘front of house’ as the public face and voice of what is, after all, your livelihood.
A small business cannot be expected to answer the phones, sort out the stationery and make sure the mail goes out on time, not without putting the priority of making money at risk.
And that’s where the concept of the Virtual Office comes into its own and why it is proving so popular with small and medium-sized businesses today.
Property developers and business centre specialists, Rombourne Ltd, which operates at three key Bristol locations including Trym Lodge in Westbury-on-Trym, Aztec West on the M4/M5 junction and George Street in the city centre, currently has more than 150 virtual office clients – companies who use its serviced office facilities as a business base, but operate from elsewhere.
Of course, in these wireless days of working from almost absolutely anywhere, some businesses could literally work on the beach or on the ski slopes – safe in the knowledge that there are professionally-trained receptionists who get to know their business and clients, answering the calls, passing on any messages and dealing with all the day-to-day administrative needs, as part of an all-round tailored and personal service.
Around 45 businesses are already using the Rombourne virtual office service at Westbury-on-Trym, companies of a whole range of sizes offering wealth planning and debt recovery to sales recruitment and marketing campaigns, using the service to great effect and reporting clear benefits with responses like:
“I have been in business for over 30 years and transferring my main office to Rombourne was the single most effective and efficient decision I have made during that time.”
“With my business operating from my home, the Rombourne virtual office gives my business a more professional presence. The staff are excellent and always friendly and welcoming to each of my visitors.”
“I have always found Rombourne’s approach to my business to be extremely professional and efficient. The services provided are completely flexible, tailored to meet my changing needs and extremely cost efficient. I would recommend Rombourne every time.”
Virtual Office costs start from as little as £35 per month, with a professional telephone answering service from as little as £75 per month, guaranteeing a prompt and efficient response within three rings and no impersonal voicemail service.
According to Bristol Area Manager, Rachel Mahaffy, Rombourne is providing the perfect answer at Westbury-on-Trym for any business wanting its own efficiently-run office – but without the overheads that come with it.
“We provide the receptionists to answer the phone calls in the company’s own name, calls can be re-routed to wherever the company wants to pick them up, messages can be taken and faxes received. And, of course, the virtual office becomes the company’s postal address”, says Rachel.
“Any secretarial, PA and administrative services needed can also be provided, leaving the company to carry on doing what it does best – and that’s running its own business.”
Rachel added: “There are a lot of compelling reasons for choosing to base your business out of Trym Lodge. Not only is the historic village of Westbury-on-Trym a very attractive area to work in, but it has excellent transport links to both the M4 and central Bristol.”
