I have passed my first anniversary with Intelligent Office having worked for 14 years as a Print Room Officer. I saw my position as being an easy run down until retiring at 65, however the professionalism and enthusiasm generated by my new manager and the development opportunities offered, inspired me to stay on! Intelligent Office certainly does not subscribe to a blinkered ageism policy and I believe I am delivering a far better service than I was before. As a result of my positive experience, I recommended my daughter for a role on another site and am delighted to say that she has already been promoted to Team Leader and is thriving under the service delivery approach that Intelligent Office promotes.

Since my transfer to Intelligent Office in May 2006, there are a number of very positive changes. I personally like the fact that we are provided with a smart uniform and am really enjoying the Team Leader training and being able to implement the new skills learned in my working day. I receive a lot of support from my manager and from head office which makes me feel a very valued team member.

Having been with
Lanyon Bowdler for 14 years the transfer to Intelligent Office was unnerving but
over the past eighteen months many things have changed. I now have a broader
role, managing the file opening for theShrewsbury office and help the other offices with their queries. Im also responsible for the processing and storage of deeds and wills. It is great to feel part of a team, we support one another and there is always someone to cover for you which is most appreciated. Our new Team Leader is a great support and makes us feel valued by drawing on the experience we all gained prior to transfer.

I was employed by Harper Macleod as a post room assistant, which consisted of opening and sorting the mail in the morning, faxing, copying and any other duties that needed doing during the day. Since transferring to Intelligent Office in 2004 there has been a world of difference. My days are more organised, I have had great input to my customer service skills and ultimately deliver a far better service. The team is much more structured and the client now gets a service which doesnt suffer when absence occurs as there is always someone there to cover.

I worked as an office junior for Vernon & Shakespeare when the merger occurred with Clarke Willmott. Since commencing with Intelligent Office I performed general duties as a Docucentre Assistant which then led to having responsibility for deeds, wills and archiving. I have now been promoted and work for First Impression, which I enjoy very much. I did not see myself doing this job 4 years ago and I am grateful for the career opportunities offered to me by Intelligent Office.

Before transferring to Intelligent Office, I only filed for one department and my role was a bit boring and repetitive. The approach Intelligent Office takes in cross training and development means that my job is much more varied and I am always facing new challenges, making it far more enjoyable.

I personally feel the greatest positive change under Intelligent Office is the way we are managed. Intelligent Office as a company is friendlier towards the staff. We are allowed to think and take responsibility for ourselves and our departments.
