I'm the Head of Operations of Document Direct, a virtual secretarial service working for Liverpool's top businesses. I'm a great believer in hard work=great results. I am now also a gadget freak and am constantly finding uses for new technology to help me work smarter. I don't understand people who refuse to adopt or adapt remain ignorant to the effects of it on their business.

Woo hoo - I've received a referral

I said I would hit the ground running in January and I have. This week I've concentrated on havinng 1-2-1 meetings with associates in my BNI network. Andrew Kirby of Clement Gallagher will come back to me once his insurance scheme is up and running which promises to save a massive 10% of anybody's commercial insurances. You'll hear more about him later.



My meeting with Dean Scrutton of The City Servant has proved fruitful already. We had a great meeting and brainstormed ideas together on how we're going to grow our businesses. He's received my brochure and passed it to one of his clients who are interested in Document Direct's services. Fan-bloody-tastic!

I learnt so much about Dean's business. Not only does The City Servant offer a great errand running service but also does a complete HANDYMAN service. Down girls - i'm talking DIY. The City Servant Handyman service gets most of its work from lettings agents and landlords and anybody else who's involved in property management. But they can do any type of odd job for the home or office. From hanging pictures and fixing leaking taps, to assembling flat packs, building wooden gates and fitting kitchens.

So I'm going to be working hard at getting Deano a referral in return for his hard work. Anybody reading this blog who thinks they can benefit from a handyman kindly leave a comment for me to follow up.

Well, have I come to the right place then, me and Nige want our kitchen replacing and have got a budget in mind etc and were about to start looking at kitchens and hoping for a deal, so if your Handyman can do something for us, we'd love to hear from him. We are definitely lookig to get our old kitchen ripped out - if anyone is old enough to remember Bless This House with Sid James - well,I think we've got his old kitchen - we now have doors hanging off, so it is very open plan, and due to a dodgy extension by the previous owners, you can be three inches taller in one part of the kitchen, and almost oompa lumpa type dimensions in the other half! Jayne, if this man can do us a deal, I want him!!!!

Good idea. I've been poor at getting referrals of late, so I've just tried to get one for you. Will let you know on Tuesday if I get a reply.
