Now more than ever it's vital that you're prepared for those hungry and thirsty customers coming back to your hospitality venue... staff not turning up when they should can be a nightmare, as you probably know first hand 😬

Rob, of ROB HEERIN HR LTD, shares a big tip that many businesses fail to consider:

"Enforce strict ‘absence’ procedures... In order to deal effectively with absenteeism, staff should be very clear about the company policy. A staff handbook is an ideal way to state policies clearly. Areas such as holidays, sickness and absenteeism should be included and clearly outlined."

Rob Heerin of Rob Heerin HR is the man for the job when it comes to HR. He's straight-talking and knowledgable, and whether you need help with hiring, firing or resolving conflict he's usually got the right solution for you!

What makes Rob different?

"I understand your local area. Using big national support companies means that the person you speak to does not understand YOUR local area or YOUR local people.

By using Rob Heerin HR, you have the same contact who understands you and your business and the people around it."

"We were able to help a local publican buy the freehold of their business...

This freed them of ties to the brewery allowing them to negotiate a better deal with suppliers, reduce their monthly outgoings and once repaid, they would be free of debt and rent - something they never thought possible."

Oftentimes our members are able to spot opportunities for clients to reduce their necessary costs and maximise profits for the long term, as Chris Cullen of Lunaria Finance shares above! As he said, this client wouldn't have thought that the solution Chris provided could have such an impact if it weren't for his expert advice.

Well done Chris once again for your expertise and support - what a difference it makes for the future of this business!

Chat with Chris at our next FREE clinic for advice on financing solutions that could make the world of difference for your hospitality business too:

A few tips this Tuesday from our members:

"Take advantage of the support currently offered by the British Business Bank. The new Recovery Loan Scheme has been launched and it is expected that lenders will continue to support business recovery - as it says on the tin!"
- Chris Cullen , Lunaria Finance

"Check you have cover for Tenants Improvements. If you don’t own the building, any physical changes you have made to the property that are permanent should be covered under your TI section. This could be new ceiling or flooring, partitions, AC/heating installations etc. This wouldn’t be covered under your contents!"
- Lucy Elliott, Elliott Westland Insurance Brokers Ltd.

"Ensure both your broadband and your router are business grade, not consumer grade. The latter will unfortunately be poorly supported by the supplier, the speeds will be very poor and overall your broadband will be completely unreliable."
- Phil Pugh, Adept Communications and Technology

Set yourself up to win and thrive with fast, free and friendly advice from our hospitality industry experts at our next clinic on 7th May!

Today's the day... 12th April is finally here and our amazing hospitality industry is reopening! So this advice from our member Mick Renshaw couldn't come at a better time...

If you're reopening today, we wish you the best of luck and would highly recommend you speak with Mick at our next clinic on the 7th May to ensure you have the right payment solutions in place for the coming months as you welcome back your customers!

Mick shares this to show exactly what it's like to work with him:

"We assisted a local pub in Sunderland at 9:30pm on a Friday night during a busy charity event. They dropped their only PDQ terminal and broke it, within 30 minutes we called out with a replacement, free of charge.

And, on the rare occasion we do lose a client, we won't ever close the door permanently on them. 12 months ago a client left us for pastures new.

In March 2021, they returned, stating that they won't ever be leaving us again - that speaks volumes!"

No matter who you deal with now, Mick will help you find a better deal and a solution that works for YOU, without the headaches. And if he can't, he'll be honest about it.

Sign up for our next clinic to talk to Mick:

You can't argue with feedback like this!

"Lucy and the team at Elliott Westland have looked after my insurance requirements both business and personal for a number of years. The service I receive is always first class, premiums are fair, staff very helpful and knowledgeable.

I recently had to make a claim on my insurance, it took one phone call to Elliott Westland and they handled everything on my behalf.

I continue to recommend Elliott Westland to my family, friends and importantly my business associates. Give them a call - you won’t be disappointed."

One of our members said this the other day:

"You don't know what you don't know."

And it's so true! Let's say you run a restaurant, a chain of pubs or an events venue. Is it possible for you to know everything about where you could be saving money and increasing profits, whilst decreasing headaches? 👀

No of course not! But there are people out there (well, right here actually) who are here to spot the gaps for you.

You might not know that you're locked into an unfair payment solution contract, or that you can access finance to help cover your cashflow in periods of downturn, or that your insurance policy is not serving your needs...

Our team are here to help you identify where you could be saving on necessary costs (and headaches) and advise you on what to do, with your best interests at heart. No selling, just fast, free and friendly advice to help your business bounce back and thrive in the coming months and years.
