G12 member, Tony Cobley set up his professional headshot photography studio at our well attended March networking meeting at the Dartmoor Lodge in Ashburton, Devon.

Tony provided headshot photo shoots for 9 of our members, all able to take as long as they required and pick several favourite shots.

One of the lessons I have learnt over many years in a family business is that just because you can do something, it doesn’t mean you should be doing it. As business owners we are very good at taking responsibility for everything and just plain putting in the hard graft needed. But there are times when accepting help is good for your business, good for your productivity and very good for your sanity!

With a focus on bookkeeping, I provide a full range of administrative support services – email, diary and event coordination; minute taking, transcription and data entry; document creation, compliance, record keeping; and of course, invoicing, debt follow up, supplier management, bank reconciliation, preparation of the books ready for the accountant, payroll and VAT returns.

Know you need some administrative support but not sure how it would work for you? That’s great – let’s have a call/zoom/coffee and chat about ways we can work together. I offer packages from 2 hours a month upwards plus ad hoc projects so can fit with your plans and budget.

Aeris Swopper Review

January 22, 2024

I recently had the pleasure of introducing the Aeries Swopper Office Stool into my workspace following a review by Paul at Backworld, and the impact has been nothing short of transformative. As someone who spends long hours at a desk, comfort and ergonomics are paramount, and the Swopper has exceeded all expectations. So what is so great about it?

Design and Build:

The Swopper’s design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly functional. The build quality is outstanding, reflecting the brand’s commitment to durability and longevity. The sleek, modern look effortlessly blends into my office space.

Dynamic Seating:

What sets the Aeries Swopper apart is its dynamic seating experience. The flexibility and range of motion it provides have significantly alleviated the discomfort associated with prolonged sitting. The ability to swivel, bounce, and tilt has made my work hours more engaging and less sedentary.

Ergonomic Excellence:

The Swopper’s ergonomic design aligns perfectly with the natural movements of the body. It promotes active sitting, reducing the strain on my back and promoting better posture. The customizable height adjustment ensures that it accommodates users of various heights seamlessly.

Comfort Beyond Expectations:

The seat cushion is a game-changer. It strikes the perfect balance between softness and support. Even during the longest work sessions, I find myself experiencing a level of comfort that I never thought possible from a stool.

Versatility in Use:

Whether I’m working at my desk, participating in Zoom meetings, or simply taking a moment to brainstorm, the Swopper effortlessly adapts to my movements. It’s not just a stool; it’s a dynamic companion that enhances my overall work experience.

Conclusion:

The Aeries Swopper has redefined my expectations of office seating. Personally, I think that it’s more than just a stool; it’s a proactive investment in my well-being and productivity. If you’re seeking an office seating solution that prioritizes comfort, functionality, and health, the Aeries Swopper is the answer so speak to Paul at Backworld as I’m more than happy to wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to revolutionize their workspace.

I recently bought an Aeries Swopper Office stool from Paul for use in my workspace, and the impact has been nothing short of transformative. As someone who spends long hours at a desk, comfort and ergonomics are paramount, and the Swopper has exceeded all expectations. I listened to Paul’s recommendations throughout the buying process and his helpful advice and the showroom where I could try out various stools until I found the one I liked was superb. I cannot recommend Backworld highly enough, if you need help and advice on the best seating or desk options, you need to speak to Paul.

Moor Trees and G12 Business Networking

December 11, 2023

We are proud to announce a partnership with Moor Trees, a local charity dedicated to restoring native woodland on Dartmoor. As part of this partnership, G12 will plant a tree for every new member who joins the group.

“We’re delighted to be supporting Moor Trees in their important work to regenerate Dartmoor’s woodlands,” said Alistair Gleave from G12 networking. “We’re also excited to be making a lasting footprint, as a business group local to Dartmoor it is lovely to be able to plant a tree for each new member, that will be there for generations to come.”

Moor Trees is a registered charity that exists to grow and plant native broadleaf trees on Dartmoor in response to the nature and climate crisis. They nurture trees from locally sourced seed into saplings at their Devon based community tree nurseries. To date, they have planted more than 155,000 trees and created 151 new woodlands. There are a further 63,000 trees growing in the tree nurseries at this time, with 20,000 ready to plant on sites across Dartmoor this winter.

“We’re so grateful for G12’s support,” said Zoe Partridge, Fundraising Manager at Moor Trees. “Their kind donation will allow us to grow and plant even more trees, allowing us to restore vital habitats across Dartmoor. We are also delighted to now be members of the G12 networking group, a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of our charity mission to the business community”.

Moor Trees

Moor Trees exists to grow and plant native broadleaf woodland on Dartmoor in response to the climate and nature crisis. Since 2000, our charity (number 1081142) has planted over 155,000 trees. Moor Trees is unique as we collect seed of native broadleaf tree species from local sites, stratify, nurture, and grow them from one to four years (dependant on tree species) in our two community tree nurseries, before the young whips are planted by our volunteers in their thousands each winter to restore Dartmoor’s lost temperate rainforest.

Your business can join us on this journey, to combat the climate and nature crisis on your Dartmoor doorstep.
