Nick Kirkham and Alix Paver are converting an old glove factory in Holt, close to Bradford on Avon, into a new cultural hub and creative workspace for small creative businesses. It is located in the middle of Wiltshire and Bath.
The total space provided by the Glove Factory Studios will be around 8,000 sq ft. It will comprise of a meeting room which will be set in an open courtyard on an open countryside. It has an event space, contemporary office space, a café, and a studio.
Nick Kirkham has worked on such co-working space projects including Great Western Studios and Westbourne Studios, which together house more than 400 workers as a part of a firm that he founded with his brother.
On the other hand, Alix Paver is a part of Creative Director of The Partners and graduated from Bath Spa University.
They both shifted to the Bath area and wanted to create a signature building with good transport links to Bath. They chose this factory building to convert it into a shared office complex with history, flavour and charm, and have been quite successful in creating a building suitable for artists.
Kirkham said that they had conducted a research that showed that there was a lack of office space for small businesses in the area. Therefore, they chose to create office space for small artistic businesses. It will be an office that will promote innovation in arts.
The BPF (British Property Federation) has issued a warning that some leases may abuse insolvency practices in relation to the real estate market, with some company’s attempts to renegotiate leases now that the economy is taking an upturn.
The BPF represents many blue chip landlord companies such as BritishLand and Land Securities and has issued its disapproval of the current trends after new reports claimed that REGUS was able to put leases on less popular locals into administration if the contracts were not better constructed.
Chief executive of BPF, Liz Peace, stated that landlords are finding it difficult and are now hard placed when it comes to helping out occupiers, which will be an expense to shareholders facing how much it costs to hold empty deskspace.
Peace also added that the galling problem of the Regus situation is that even though the business was forced to cut margins, they currently have a profitable business and a very strong cash position.
Regus provides virtual offices, serviced office space, and meeting rooms to over 100 FTSE landlords in many of the key business districts of the UK.
A Regus spokeswoman refused to comment on the negotiations with landlords or to name how many possible units may be dropped.The spokeswoman did mention that at the moment the company is committed to further growth.
At October 31, 2009 the company reported that they held a net cash position that measured £229.1m compared to just £159.9m in 2008 showing that the company has been able to continue to generate cash.
If you are considering voice over jobs as a means to jump into professional acting, the first thing that you need to do is to make sure that you are qualified. If you are new to the area, you will need to produce the right training to start. More importantly, you have to have a great speaking voice. You need to speak very distinctly and learn to pronounce. Correct enunciation is very important in voice over jobs. If no one can hear you then you are not doing your job very well. Pick up a book or magazine and practice reading it out loud. Good reading skills are a must. You must also be OK with reciting it aloud because much of the time in voice over work, you will be reading something without having practiced it. If you feel comfortable doing this, then voice over vocations may be a good fit for you.
There are voice over jobs in points that you would never think of them. An idea that has grown really popular in many holiday regions is the self guided tour. These may be found at attractions like a park or once in a while they are put out by the Chamber of Commerce and are made to include the entire town. The tourer hears information about each part of the attraction on a small receiver. The information was recorded by a voice over artist.
A recent CBRE report shows that the number of leaseback deals undertaken in the EU as dramatically increased over the past year. These deals are expected to push up the commercial activity it the sector and have a significant impact on rents demanded for prime office space.
The shortage in office space areas across Europe is being handled in a surprisingly novel manner by businesses. Those businesses with prime areas under ownership are selling their property to buyers in a leaseback deal, wherein they use the premise that they once owned as tenants.
By doing this, a significant sum of money invested in the land is freed up for current use, and the original owner does not have to remain a landlord and bother about all the obligations it entails. Given these benefits and advantages, an increasing number of business owners are opting for this new kind of deal now. In fact, CBRE has handled such deals to the tune of 3b, which is a huge increase over the 1.5 deals it was working on at the start of the year.
Leasebacks have accounted for nearly 17% of the total real estate market activity in the first two quarters of 2009. This percentage is huge as compared to the 6% of the market it accounted for back in 2004. CBRE sources predict that there is scope for another £2 trillion growth here when the total value of property owned by businesses across Europe is evaluated.
HSBC was one of the pioneers to undertake this kind of deal with its Canary Wharf HQ sale to a Korean company. Many other are expected to follow suit, as shortage of desk space prompts innovative deals in the markets. The shortage has pushed up rents of such quality spaces even as other rents have spiralled down over the last three years. Companies are expected to prosper in the long term if they do start taking advantage of the office space rental opportunities now.

If you’re interested in improving the selling results of your ads, tweaking your headlines is a great place to start. Because your headlines influence the sales results of your ad more than any other element.
A great ad with the wrong headline can bomb, whereas a great headline on an average ad will probably do OK. Let’s take a look at a few techniques for coming up with sales-boosting headlines.
First things first: Avoid these proven sales-killing “headlines” like the pox:
Your company name
A generic industry or service category (e.g. “Plumbing Contractor”)
Or on a website or brochure, “Welcome to ABC Industries”
The points above sound basic (and they are), but it’s surprising how many ads and websites make those mistakes.
So you’ve avoided those mistakes. What techniques can you use to create great selling headlines that practically catapult your readers into your ad? Here are a few ideas…
1. Call out to your target audience
If your message is aimed at stockbrokers, mention “stockbrokers” in the headline.
2. Mention specific benefits
Face it - consumers are jaded. We all are. Heck, I can hardly get out of bed in the morning General statements like “Lose weight fast” or “Save Money on _____” are no longer effective. Specific numbers and images evoke much more potent images in your prospects’ minds than generalities. That’s why they sell much better.
3. Use vivid, evocative verbs
Especially online, high-energy headlines work very well.
Here’s a headline that uses all 3 of the above techniques…
“New Software Boosts Stockbrokers’ Income by 34, 43, even 125% - by Slashing Time Spent Chasing “Dead” Accounts and Laser-Focusing Your Energies on the Big Players”
OK, it needs a bit of work, but you get the idea. Some people don’t like this type of headline - it’s too “hypey”. And it’s certainly not right for every kind of product or service - but I’ve had very good success with this type of headline, especially online.
4. Use “cognitive dissonance”
That’s a fancy way of saying, make your audience curious. Here’s a headline we’re testing for a client who sells bumper stickers:
“Do You Wonder How We Can Sell Full-Colour Stickers At A 1-Color Price, with FREE Artwork?”
This type of headline makes people curious - they feel compelled to find the answer and relieve a sense of “dissonance” with this apparent paradox.
5. Include some challenging or surprising information
Here’s a headline that I wrote for a lead-generating website for a rubbish removal contractor, 1300 Rubbish:
“Fast, Professional Rubbish Removal, Sydney-wide…We’ll Pay You $1 Per Minute In Cash If We’re Late!”
The “hook” is the guarantee. Also bear in mind that most of the people who see this headline will have already searched for the term “rubbish removal sydney” or similar, so they are expecting to see something related to those keywords.
How are your headlines? Can you use any of the above tips to get better response?
