Page 16 • The HERALD • 15th February 2024 v SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES v WATERSIDE NETWORK GROUP: MEMBER FOCUS by Simon Chadwick Running a small to medium-sized business is a time-consuming affair, with the business owner often having to wear many hats. Consequently, the need to keep the cashflow rolling can become a greater priority than other tasks. This means day-today admin slides, things don’t get sorted or filed, and, generally, the office ends up increasingly disorganised. Getting on top of such a situation can be too much to face, but not doing so can only have a detrimental affect on your business. So, what’s the answer? Colette’s Admin Services offers all types of office administration for business, and the best part is that you can use Colette for as little or as much as you need. Where a full-time or even parttime employee may be impractical, using Colette’s Admin Services for only what you need is the cost efficient and practical answer. Colette offers secretarial and P.A. services, data inputting into databases (both bespoke and off-the-shelf), policy writing, sorting and filing paperwork, creating forms, organising offices, attending meetings (and minutes of meetings) and typing correspondence. Colette’s experience in the care sector also means she can assist companies in both gaining their CQC registration and assisting in getting set up. As an example, a company was relocating and needed their offices prepared for personnel to move into. Just eleven large boxes of paperwork and three new empty filing cabinets were all that were in there. Colette successfully had everything sorted, filed and labelled before the rest of the equipment and staff arrived three days later. Whatever the task, you can relax in the knowledge that it’s being taken care of, while you get on with what you need to do.
