Secure Your Birmingham Office Space

With all the festivities flowing we advise companies and staff to be extra vigilant and make sure your Birmingham office space is secure when leaving in the evening and over the Christmas period. It's a shame, but crime does occur and often when people are so excited about Christmas they forget that window lock or to double bolt a door.

Managed offices, like those on the Birmingham Business Park are looked after with security in place, but it's worth remembering that we all need to do our bit and not make our offices an open invitation.

Christmas Delivery Dates for Businesses

This is a great time to spread the festive cheer by sending customers, protential business and friends that all important personalised christmas card. The more modern alternative is through the email and texts, but often a christmas card will be displayed and therefore your business logo on display.

If you have moved into new Birmingham office space why not think about getting some cards of your business location or even a traditional card adapted with your company logo and new address if you have moved premises.

The key here is remember the all important last delivery dates - no customer wants to receive a christmas card after christmas or even worse, have to pay the additional postage if you have not weighed your parcel or used the postage for the envelope size.

First Class - 20th December
Second Class - 17th December

If you are moving premises to Birmingham in the new year, make sure your customers know your new Birmingham office space address to avoid confusion.

Plan Your Christmas Party with Safety in Mind

We are guessing that you are well and truly in the festive mood now and thinking of those office parties and planning the night with your workmates. There certainly are lots of businesses across the Birmingham Business Park that are celebrating.

If you have planned a night out make sure everyone knows the venue and make sure every member of your workforce know how they are getting home and have pre-booked taxis or lifts. Towards the end of the night it might get tricky to get transport if you have not booked.

If you have not opted for a Christmas night out, why not consider turning your Birmingham office space into a party for an afternoon. Show your employees they are valued and considered important with maybe even a secret santa thrown in. Some ideas to create the office party mode can include everyone bringing in party snacks, crackers, secret santa or even Christmas music.

Why not see if there are other offices close by on the Birmingham Business Park and see if you can combine a party in the kitchen or office space.
