Avoid the Olympic traffic with a London Virtual Office

admin — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:27:19 +0000

As the London Olympics draws closer, we can’t help thinking that traffic in the capital is going to be the busiest ever.
Many office workers in London have been told to expect a transport nightmare during the event and TFL have already released a “get ahead of the games” travel pack, offering transport advice to the millions of people that will be affected.

We believe the best way for office workers to get around the travel chaos is to take advantage of some of the virtual office services available during the Olympics. Existing regular offices can take full advantage of services like mail forwarding and telephone answering as they would allow employees to work from home, where they wouldn’t have to face the traffic hell. Not only will employees be able to start work earlier, they also won’t arrive to work recovering from the stress of battling the morning traffic

Are you going to be affected by the traffic chaos during the Olympics? Consider a virtual office in London from Hold Everything.

Virtual office in the skies

It might not be the kind of virtual office that we specialise in, but Hold Everything were excited by some news from Germany this week that there was a different style of virtual office being created, an office with a virtual sky.

The “virtual sky” system has been designed to brighten up poorly lit offices, which are thought to have pooper productivity. Users of the “virtual sky” have said “it feels like you are really outside”. The system uses LED’s to change light with the time of day and to create shapes, such as clouds.

People have shown interest in this, but at Hold Everything, we’ll stick to the virtual offices we know. If you are interested in virtual office services, contact us.

Business trends come and go, but the significant growth in the virtual office industry shows that more and more businesses are enhancing their reputation with this new age concept. The success of a business depends largely on its ability to move with the times and for many modern businesses in today’s unstable economy this means embracing the virtual office trend.

The movement towards the use of virtual office services has emerged mainly due to the fact that a large amount of modern business now takes place via the internet and telephone, decreasing the need for a traditional office space. However a physical presence is sometimes still required, and can significantly help to ensure your business be perceived as a credible and respected organisation. Not only does a virtual office offer your business a prestigious address to differentiate you from competitors but also professional telephone answering services mean you will never miss a call.
