Project Management of an Office Move
April - July 2023
I was contracted to project manage an office move for a law firm in Oxford. The firm had used this 4 story building with multiple offices for over 200 years - it had it’s own library of law books, board room, and even some historic rowing oars featured on a wall - all of which needed to be moved / sold / disposed of.
On my first day I remember one member of staff chuckling, and saying “You’ve got to make this happen!”
I built a plan and was the point of contact for the teams involved. I worked with
IT companies to organise the switch over and identify changes required
archiving companies to ensure safe and secure removal of files
removals firms
the staff who were impacted by the move
the management team
furniture suppliers
On time, the end goal was achieved - the office that the firm had had for 200 years was emptied, and the staff were moved to a much smaller office, equipped with everything they needed.
Setting up a New Business
I love saying “You have an idea, I’ll make it happen” - this is what I did for Lovell Fuels, a family business.
I was given a drawing of the logo they’d like, and I took it to a designer and got it made.
I used this logo on marketing materials, advertised the start up of the business, and promoted the story on a radio station.
I was given an idea of the business processes, and I took it to several software companies, selected the best-fit, and we set up the system from which to operate the business.
I built relationships with collaborative companies, so we could work together to build the business up.
Support with Email Campaigns
I provide support to a busy business woman who prefers to focus her time on her core business, rather than work on email campaigns. I arrange the content, import the contacts, and send the emails.
Support with Wix Website - Managing Booking Systems
I manage the booking system behind a Wix website, for a busy entrepreneur who offers coaching to clients with ADHD and autism.
