TEXT

“AT A LONDON BUSINESS CENTRE”

Mary – Lou Smith tells us how Business Centre can help businessmen.

A business centre is a place where there are a number of offices which are already furnished. There are telephone lines and telephones already in the rooms and a businessman can just sign a very simple lease and move in and start work immediately.

There are fifty-six rooms altogether in the centre, two kitchens where the tenants can make coffee for themselves. There is a much larger coffee room where tenants can sit down and relax and watch television if they want to. There are two reception areas where the tenants’ guests can sit while they are waiting for a meeting to start.

We can do a wide variety of things for our clients – we can type all their letters and prepare any documents that might need sending out. We can order couriers and taxis for them and even organize their airline tickets. We can organize their meeting for them and food, maybe lunch for those meetings. We can even organize their dry cleaning for them and arrange for flowers to be sent to their wives.
