Rombourne’s Kingston House supporting local business
Free workshops at Rombourne serviced offices were the brainchild of Danielle
Mottram, Business Centre Manager, who wanted to do something to support
local businesses within Swindon. “I am keen to integrate and support the local
business community. I really wanted to try something different and I have the
facilities to accommodate varying size workshops.”
The first workshop was held on
July 3, at Rombourne’s Kingston
House, West Swindon, run in
partnership with Shirley Hensher
from The Change Agent.
Danielle said: “Shirley is one
of my newest clients at Kingston
House, and this was a great
opportunity for us to work together
in supporting the local business
community.”
Shirley Hensher is a business
and career coach who helps
provide a fresh perspective to her
clients so they can shape working
lives that work for them. Shirley
covers a range of issues which
stem from how they use their time,
for example stress, overwhelm,
resentment, demotivation - and
that’s to name a few!
Together, Danielle and Shirley
hosted a fun, interactive workshop
which aimed to help participants
rediscover their sense of direction
and purpose within the working
environment.
In the workshop Shirley covered
personal objectives and how to
achieve them. Everyone left with
strategies personal to them that
could be actioned right away, so
they could feel productive and in
control of the working day.
In line with workshops
Rombourne is also offering ‘drop
in’ copy clinics at Kingston House,
run by Jo Smyth, of PR and
copywriting agency Word Worker.
Jo works with SMEs and uses her
journalism skills to craft press
releases which hit the mark with
online and offline media.
At the copy clinics, Jo is on
hand to give advice on everything
from copywriting dos and don’ts
to where and when to send press
releases. She said: “I always
enjoyed copy clinics when I was
a young journalist, and received
some really fantastic advice from
my editors, so it’s great to be able
to help business owners unlock
their own writing potential.”
Danielle added: “We look
forward to continuing to host
and provide workshops and copy
clinics and I welcome businesses
contacting me if they feel they
have a topic of interest that would
be relevant to other businesses.
I attended our first workshop,
hosted by Shirley, and found it to
be very rewarding.”
All future events are available
to book via Eventbrite and will be
advertised on LinkedIn and Twitter.
