How are businesses in Oxfordshire going to survive
the recession?

With recession now biting hard we decided to interview local businesses to hear what they were experiencing and discover what they were doing to combat the recession. Derek Gale at Gale Photography has shared his thoughts below, we would like to hear yours and provide your business with FREE advertising.

Derek Gale at Gale Photography says...

"The explosion in the number of digital cameras, the willingness of “Uncle Bob” to do your wedding photography, and the effects of the recession, are some of the factors that offer challenges to professional social photographers.

Our family and individual portraits continue to surprise and delight – and often move our clients to tears. They have a unique “Gale Photography style”, and the quality of the finished images; in frames, as acrylics, or canvases, is outstanding. We’re always aware that a photo shoot is a luxury, so our prices are highly competitive.

We still offer our fabulous contemporary wedding photography service, with stunning, natural images taken unobtrusively, and beautifully presented in exquisite hand-made albums. It’s a service that’s loved by our clients.

Our recession-beating tip is to turn potential negatives into real positives. As previously mentioned, there’s a huge number of people out there with digital cameras. Many people don’t really know how to use them properly, both in a technical sense and in a creative sense, so we’re now offering photographic training to help people get the best possible images. The training takes advantage of our years of photographic experience, a creative flair for what makes a great image, and superb presentation skills. The current courses, which have plenty of “hands-on” sessions, are proving very popular. We’re also offering individual tuition, and are planning to expand our training programme. You can get more information about the courses from the Photographic Training page of our website."

How are businesses in Aylesbury going to survive the recession?

With recession now biting hard we decided to interview local businesses to hear what they were experiencing and discover what they were doing to combat the recession. Jane Chilman at People First Associates has shared their thoughts below, we would like to hear yours and provide your business with FREE advertising.

Jane Chilman at People First Associates says ...

We recognise this is a difficult time for all businesses large or small and accept that often cutting staff is considered the quickest way to reduce costs. However we strongly believe there are many other alternatives and options available which businesses need to consider before going down what is considered by most to be a painful and damaging route.

Even though some businesses can only think about today we recommend they don’t act rashly or be short sighted, to think about the future, consider the loss of key skills, the damage to their reputation as both a business and as an employer, the effect on their service levels and the effect on the well being of those staff left behind.
Below we have listed some of our top tips in managing people during this difficult time. We are happy to offer any businesses a free telephone consultation without obligation.

Our top tips for managing your workforce

• Think creatively about how to reduce employment costs, such as new ways of working and work reorganisation.
• Making people redundancy can be expensive – look at alternatives
• Take advantage of natural wastage and/or offer voluntary redundancy terms – redundancies can have a serious negative impact on morale and performance.
• Cut back recruitment and review your use of temporary staff.
• Retrain employees whose skills are no longer in demand and redeploy employees to other parts of the organisation where possible.
• Reduce or eliminate overtime working.
• Consider short-time working, temporary lay-offs or sabbaticals.
• Plan reward strategies carefully – especially if the scope for pay awards is restricted. Encourage staff to suggest how jobs can be done more efficiently and costs saved. 
• Keep employees in the picture even when there is little concrete news. 
• Recognise the psychological burden and impact that can arise in a recession – make sure workplace support and occupational health provision are in place to prevent high levels of work-related stress.
• Consider opportunities for flexible working to help employees balance their work and home lives.
• Recognise the potential negative impact of ‘survivor syndrome’ if your business makes redundancies – the employees that remain often suffer from guilt while coping with increased workloads.
• Start thinking about how you will handle redundancies, large numbers will require planning to comply with statutory requirements.
• Make sure you understand the law relating to redundancies and review procedures.
• Establish a policy and procedures to be used if workforce reductions are unavoidable.
• Manage any redundancy situation in a fair and equitable manner.

Printed circuit board manufacture design & assembly buckinghamshire

How are businesses in Princes Risborough going to survive the recession?

With recession now biting hard we decided to interview local businesses to hear what they were experiencing and discover what they were doing to combat the recession. Steve Dear at Chiltern Circuits Ltd has shared their thoughts below, we would like to hear yours and provide your business with FREE advertising.

Steve Dear at Chiltern Circuits Ltd...

Established originally in 1977, Chiltern Circuits Ltd manufacture Printed Circuit Boards at their premises in Princes Risborough. Single sided, double sided and subcontract multilayer PCBs can be supplied. We are also able to offer a screen printing service for instrument panels and boxes. Customers range from the 'one man band' through to large companies throughout the UK and Ireland.

All companies who contact us receive the same high level of customer service, which is even more important in times when people are thinking about cut backs and the credit crunch. As with many businesses we have found that recommendation is one of the best ways to obtain further business. It is, therefore, even more important that we continue to provide a friendly, efficient and cost effective service.

As a company established for over 30 years we can offer advice on all aspects of manufacture, and are always happy to discuss customer requirements based on our experience.

Flexibility being the name of the game, as well as the usual printed circuit board manufacture, we are widening our range of services to include print and rout panels on a variety of substrates - plastic, fibreglass and mylar, insulating panels and most recently to provide an assembly service to our customers through our many contacts.

Along the same lines we have contacts who are able to assist customers with design and PCB layout if necessary.

The tide may be turning in our favour as we have recently produced PCBs which were originally commissioned in China but were then found to be of poor quality indicating that low prices alone are not enough!

With customers looking for excellent service, realistic prices and value for money we offer quality products, manufactured in the UK, at a reasonable price.

Thank you to Steve Dear at Chiltern Circuits Ltd. If you have some thoughts and ideas to share and would like your company to appear on this blog then please read on for details.

Oxfordshire training Microsoft training courses Office & Excell

How are businesses in Thame, Oxfordshire going to survive the recession?

With recession now biting hard we decided to interview local businesses to hear what they were experiencing and discover what they were doing to combat the recession.
QS Southern (Microsoft trainers - Oxfordshire) has shared their thoughts below, we would like to hear yours and provide your business with FREE advertising.

Ian Brearley at QS Southern - Microsoft training says...

All of us have a limit to how much harder we can work - so now we need to work smarter – and that requires training.

New for 2009 are the Byte Sized Microsoft Office half day courses. Each will be on specific parts of the modules of Microsoft Office 2003 or Office 2007 and will be held in various venues throughout Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Hertfordshire.

Typical courses would be Pivot Tables and Lookup Tables in Excel 2003 or perhaps Mail Merge and Tables in Word 2007 and they are structured so that you can select only those parts of Office which are important to you - you save on time, most people can find half a day for some focussed training, and you save money. All the courses in the Byte Sized series are priced at £25 per person per course and an optional CD with detailed notes covering all the techniques demonstrated in the course and worked examples and files to allow you to go through everything covered is also available at £5 per copy.

An events diary on the Byte Sized page on our website will show what courses are available where (and when) and we anticipate having as many as eight venues for you to choose from. All courses will be available in a 2003 and a 2007 version. So that we can be sure we cover the parts of Microsoft Office that most people want to know more about you are invited to e mail or phone us and tell us what you need. If your request can reasonably be built into one of our MS Office Courses we will let you know which course, or courses, it has gone in to and when that event will be running.

For now all bookings can be handled by E Mail or telephone and then by invoice but credit card facilities using Google Checkout are available on the website to speed the process up for private bookings. You can turn up on the day (but please make sure the course is running) although places are strictly limited - and take a chance - but a cash payment will be required.

The first credit crunch busting venues are Weston Turville Golf Club (Near Aylesbury), Studley Green Golf Club (Near Oxford) and Wycombe Heights Golf Club (near High Wycombe)

QS Southern has been running since 2002 and offers training courses in all modules of Microsoft Office from Office 2000 up to Office 2007 covering Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher and Outlook. Training is typically on the clients premises with groups of up to eight. The owner and principal trainer believes time at the keyboard should be fun as well as productive and teaches from a users viewpoint.

Thame Local News: Thame Roofing shares its thoughts on the recession and how it plans to beat it.

How are businesses in Thame going to survive
the recession?

With the shocking demise of Woolworths in Thame and many local businesses worried about their future, we decided to ask local businesses for their thoughts for the coming year. Thame Roofing has shared their thoughts below, we would like to hear yours and provide your business with FREE advertising.

John Hedger founder of Thame Roofing says...

"This is a very trying time for everyone and it seems that no business is safe. We have been trading now for 45 years and we still have to work hard to maintain our relationships with customers and suppliers.

Our goal is to offer the best service we can at the best prices. Our 10-year guarantee on all work has really worked for us to put our customers minds at ease.

Obviously being around for so long really helps our business as our long-standing presence in the community both on a personal and business level has helped with recommendations. Referrals are a big part of our business.

We know we have to do more as we go deeper into the recession. The last recession hit us hard, but we have learnt a lot from that time.

One of the biggest lessons we learnt was to keep promoting our business. We discovered that even with cash becoming tight we were able to build as many relationships as possible and work with other companies to expand our offer.

We also noticed that many businesses had stopped advertising and this gave us an opportunity as we knew despite the recession people still had leaking roofs that needed fixing. We cut what was not working and put our cash into what was.

We simply asked any caller how they found us. These little things can make a huge difference to your business."
