    Hi Folks

    As some of you might know we had a slight problem on Monday
    http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/fe … tory.html#

    ps, thats not me with the beard LOL

    It looks almost certain that we will have to move out.

    I am just putting together a list of things that need to be done when moving premises, such as phone lines, sorting out the lighting, electric points etc etc, so we can say its going to cost £XXX much

    Can you suggest anything that will need to be done, changed over/swapped etc when a move is required, its also similer to starting again from scratch imho

    many thanks Denise x

    We moved premises almost five years ago. My biggest concern at the time was making sure my existing customers knew we had moved. But of course there are always a large number of people that you only see from time to time and these were the ones that tend to be forgotten.

    We were lucky in that we were able to take our existing landline tel no. with us. The only problem with this was I often forgot to tell someone we had moved when they called up and said they would visit us in person or drop a van off. Many was the time they would turn up at our old place..

    Make sure you put a sign up outside the damaged premises to say where you have relocated to even if it’s only temporary. We put a sign up at our old place to say we had moved, then later when a new tennant moved in we provided them with a new sign FOC and they allowed us to put a message on saying we had moved.

    Apart from that – be positive, new premises fresh start, and a good chance to re-organise your work space and get it just the way you want it.

    Good luck 😀
