The events of the last 9 months have impacted each and every one of us, in an unprecedented way. For those of us that commute to a place of work and enjoy the social and collaborative benefits, the effect on our daily lives has certainly been profound.
Back in March, on the eve of the first lockdown, Mantle launched The Lambourn in Abingdon. This wasn’t to be the only business centre to launch during the pandemic. This November saw the introduction of Nine Hills Road in Cambridge. Opening during these times has had its challenges. However, as with all Mantle centres, these new workspaces were designed with flexibility in mind.
Oxfordshire’s property market took a significant blow when COVID-19 struck this year, but a growing sense of optimism has emerged across our network of Innovation Centres as signs of a recovery begin.
The rapid spread of Covid-19 has increased the urgency to protect ourselves and each other now more than ever. Aston & James provide some helpful information and solutions for office safety.
You may have heard quite a bit about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It’s all about creating a sustainable, environmentally conscious business; one which takes appropriate steps to reduce your carbon footprint, as well as tackling waste, encouraging employee development and caring about the community you live and work in.
The way we work is evolving, and the concerns and motivations businesses have for occupying office space is evolving too.
We launched The Lambourn in Abingdon in March just as lockdown happened. It was a slow start for the building but we now have happy tenants in the building who are pleased to be back in the workplace.
Dan Brown and Ollie Lewis of COEL talk about how important your working environment really is, especially during the current crisis.
B4 One invited Darren Aston of Aston & James along to talk all things office and how it can motivate staff.
Don’t throw out your old VHS tapes until you read this. With decluttering all the rage, you may be unearthing old VHS movie collections from the 80s, 90s, or earlier from your attic or the back of a closet.
Many reasons exist why people want to convert VHS to digital media, mainly because it is more easily accessible on today’s variety of devices.
The past 4 months have been an incredible challenge, not to mention a worrying time for all businesses.
Aston & James has always worked to understand the needs of businesses to stay relevant and to ensure that the range of products we deliver is appropriate for you in supporting your business.
Now more than ever we should be thinking carefully about how our records, media and analogue materials should be accessed in times of restricted access. With media on-line this allows archives to be stored safely and their digital counterpart used for accessing.
We have all been taken by surprise in having to deal with the unprecedented times of 2020. Most of us went into isolation, rushing to the shops to stock our cupboards.
