Hello everyone and welcome to the July edition of our monthly newsletter.

We would like to start off with some positive news we heard this week, London’s busiest shopping area, Oxford Circus is set to undergo a makeover, transforming some of its cluttered spaces to leafy-green pedestrian-only areas.

Similar plans are set to take place in Birmingham, Madrid, Barcelona and Paris. Ideal for taking a breather from the hustle and bustle of the city and allowing your mind to wander. On that note, we look this month at mental health in the workplace. Mental health affects around one in four people in the UK in any given year, so we feel it is a topic that needs to be discussed regularly.

As we return to a more normal working pattern, schedules are busier than ever whilst we play catch up, so we dive into the top 10 reasons to consider hiring a Virtual PA in 2021.

As always, stay safe and we look forward to talking with you soon.

As we step into June we have lots to look forward to, not least Coronavirus restrictions being relaxed as of the 21st. Though we must all be responsible and keep our health at the forefront of our minds, it is exciting to start planning our next chapters, both personal and professional.

Over the past 12 months, we have had to socially distance ourselves from our teams, but in a lot of ways, it has forged tighter bonds allowing teamwork and productivity to flourish.

We hope you are all starting to feel the joys of Spring. With the clocks springing forward yesterday and the promise of longer, warmer days we are feeling increasingly positive about the coming days and weeks. In this month’s edition the client spotlight is on Dinaqor, we also look at why honesty is so important in business and much more….

We were all relieved to hear the Prime Minister speak positively, with some caution, on 22nd February regarding the road map that returns us all to ‘normal’ life. In this edition our client spotlight is on POD Talent, LinkedIn for beginners, the power of people and meet Michelle Wheeler, Designated’s Marketing Director.

With Spring just around the corner, we are adopting a positive attitude and hoping for some kind of normal soon!! In this edition our client spotlight is on Ability FM, we look at why a strong brand identity matters, the Brexit effect and meet a new member of our team.

This month we breathe a sigh of relief as we say “Goodbye” to a difficult 2020, however we wanted to round the year off with some interesting articles such as our “Guide to working smarter not harder”, Understanding hashtag marketing, introducing a member of our team and our client spotlight – Women on Boards.
