Bromley Focus: The Office Recruitment Partnership When Bromley recruitment professionals Caroline Lennon-Smith and Jo Higgins decided to open their own recruitment agency their aim was to provide a professional, friendly and honest service to both Clients and Candidates ranging from start-up business to large corporations. Twelve years later The Office Recruitment Partnership is more successful than ever with satisfied Clients and Candidates benefiting from post placement tenures averaging five years. Caroline and Jo commented: "A great recruitment consultant goes beyond just skill matching - selecting only candidates whose soft skills enable them to assimilate seamlessly into the Client's business and also we only register those candidates in the top of their field." "We recognise our client's time is valuable and so we take the time to research our Clients' needs in detail so we fully understand the profile of their required candidate." "Basing our operations at Clarendon's Business Centre enables our boutique business to benefit from a fully professional serviced office environment within a central location, whilst maintaining minimal overheads." Given that it was The Office Recruitment Partnership, who introduced both Charlene Gunn and Nicola Hodgkinson to Clarendon, this has proved to be a very successful partnership for both companies and a great example of how relationships within Clarendon Business Centres can benefit everyone! For more information on ORP's services, contact 020 8315 6655 or info@theofficerp.com. Did You Know...? Nominative determinism is where a person's name reflects their profession. For example, Mr Rosewell is a rowing coach, Mrs Baker sells bread products, Richard Chopp is a surgeon, and Dr Payne is a dentist... More pearls of wisdom next month!

Bracknell Focus: The Regeneration of Bracknell The Regeneration of Bracknell is well underway. Buildings have been raised and the road is changing. Princes Square has a new fascia with H. Fine Jewellers relocating to a gem of a position at the entrance! So who's coming to town? Retail include: - M&S, Primark, H&M and a 12 screen Cineworld Restaurants: - Nando's, Zizzi's and Carluccios Part of the Ring road will be closed from its junction with High Street round to the entrance to the Easthampstead House car park so this land can be included in the new development. However, this will not affect getting to Clarendon Business Centre. In fact, all of these exciting changes provide even more reasons to open your new offices at Abbey House in the heart of Bracknell.

Bournemouth Focus: Elite Property Search - finding you the finest properties Joe Nisbet from Elite Property Search Ltd describes his business as follows: We're not estate agents. Quite the opposite in fact: we represent buyers, not sellers. But we do have relationships with all the top selling agents, who know us as a source of serious, reliable buyers, and happily provide us access to their "bottom drawer" properties, as well as those they're actively marketing. In addition we have access to privately available properties before they reach the open market. We have built relationships with many prime property owners who appreciate our approach and reputation, and inform us of their intention to sell months before marketing. All this privileged information results in over three-quarters of our property purchases coming from off market sources which means we're better placed than anyone else to find your perfect property. Not one that'll probably do. Perfect. Elite Property Search LTD use the Clarendon remote service in Bournemouth for the majority of their calls and mail handling and Joe adds: "As most of our days are spent driving around the country, meeting with clients and viewing privately available properties, we are not always able to take calls. Bianca and Laura from Clarendon always ensure detailed messages are passed on to us as quickly and efficiently as possible. Without this exceptional service, we wouldn't have the time to deal with all our clients' enquiries." For more information about Elite Property Search LTD, contact Joe Nisbet on +44 (0)1202 766 566 or email him at: joe@elitepropertysearch.com
