More news from Gairland...

While the term ‘virtual office’ seems like a reasonably new concept in recent years, the idea of having a central office for global business operations goes back to the 1980s, when ‘call centres’ began to spring up everywhere. I was interested to learn that the term ‘virtual office’ was apparently first adopted around that time by a businessman in Colorado who was keen to look after his daughter at home while determined to carry on with his business schedules – mainly by telephone back then.

Fast forward to today and even with the wonders of technology, it can still prove difficult trying to find that all-important balance between working from home and satisfying our business needs. One way to protect our privacy while enjoying the benefits of a serviced business address is to secure a virtual office address at one of Gairland’s Moray Business Centres. You can choose from four locations in the heart of Speyside as a professional base for mail delivery.

We’re pleased to share with you that Gairland is now offering a 20% discounted rate for Chamber members for this service. Whether mail collection or mail forwarding is required, the Gairland team can help you decide what best suits your business needs.

If you require a local facility to meet colleagues and customers or hold interviews, training sessions or workshops, you may also be eligible to book their professional meeting room at a discounted rate. Having a local telephone number for your business on a call divert basis is also an option you might find useful.

If you’d like to find out more about this service, why not call Gairland on 01343 553930 or visit www.gairland.com/virtual-offices-scotland. This might just be the next step in finding that ideal work/home balance.
