COMMERCIAL PROPERTY Meet Rombourne tenant The Change Agent The Change Agent shares its experience of renting a Swindon-based serviced office from Rombourne. Shirley Hensher, The Change Agent, is a personal coach that helps business owners and other working professionals to get a fresh perspective on their life in business. Having had a varied, challenging career that includes working in economic consultancy, financial services and as a freelance project manager, Shirley draws on her past experiences to help all forms of corporate professionals from entrepreneurs to employees, reduce their stress levels and increase their motivation. Shirley’s coaching helps clients to design career paths which better fit with their values, personality and aspirations. In April 2018, Shirley relocated her business to Rombourne’s Kingston House in Swindon. Six months on from the move, she shares her experience of her new office space and her number one tip for office ettiquette. Why did you decide to base your office in Swindon? I live in Wroughton and wanted an office outside of my home that was easily accessible for both myself and my clients. Junction 16 (which is located close to Kingston House) is an ideal location as my clients and networking groups are located along the M4 corridor. Why did you choose Rombourne? It was important for me to be based somewhere I looked forward to going to each day, and that I had an office I could make my own. As well as the location, I chose Rombourne as I really liked the feel of the building. Not only is Kingston House bright and airy, but the team are very friendly and welcoming. Kingston House is always looked after which gives a great impression to clients, and Danielle the centre manager, is always looking for ways to make the building more comfortable and meet her clients’ needs. How has Rombourne helped your business grow? The team at Rombourne have been really supportive. Not only do we follow each other on social media, but they have supported me at local networking events and introduced me to new businesses. I recently held a free workshop at Kingston House that was hosted jointly with Rombourne. This gave me the chance to showcase what I do best, at no extra cost to me and the workshop delegates got to experience the facilities and atmosphere that Rombourne offers. Delegates really enjoyed the workshop and were impressed by the centre. What’s your number one office ettiquette tip? As a serviced office client, it’s important to remember that everything you do and say in a shared space can reflect on you and your business. What impression will the other businesses have of you if you were to repeatedly leave the shared kitchen looking like London after the Blitz? A serviced office is a business network of its own. Make sure you’re a welcome addition and who knows how your business might develop? “It’s important to remember that everything you do and say in a shared space can reflect on you and your business ” @rombourne We take care of the office so you can take care of business Contact us today to discuss your serviced office requirements Premium Serviced Offices Lydiard Fields, Swindon, SN5 8UB ombourne SERVICED OFFICES 01793 683550 rombourne.co.uk THE BUSINESS EXCHANGE 2018 29
