The Height of Romance

Here at Errands Plus, we help a whole host of clients with a variety of tasks. And it’s not all shopping lists and shoe repairs.

 

Last Friday, we contributed to a real life love story.
 

Our client wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Chloe, at The Shard in London. With uninterrupted 360 degree views over 40 miles of the nation’s capital, we can see why this building is quickly becoming as romantic an attraction as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Empire State Building in New York.   
 

Our runner, Ken, stood in the middle of another iconic spot, The London Bridge, holding a sign that said ‘Will you marry me, Chloe?’ surprising our client’s unsuspecting girlfriend – but also drawing the attention of a number of passers-by. Many thought that Ken was the one proposing and some took pictures with him holding up the board! The small group even waited to see what Chloe would say. 
 

Proposals of marriage are important things, the start of a life shared. So, it’s only right that you should want things to go as smoothly as possible and our team can help make your romantic moment a perfect one. Simply call 020 7754 0324 and ask to speak with an errand manager.
 

Oh, and by the way, Chloe said yes!

Time Well Spent: Office* 2013

Laura Schwartz is a wise woman. She says ‘it’s outside the office that you discover the ideas and the contacts that have the most impact inside it’. How right she is. 

Errands Plus have had an amazing couple of days at Office* 2013, the UK’s biggest event for office professionals, meeting PAs, Office Managers, Directors, Business Owners and Executive Support Executives from diverse walks of life. 

Spending time with these dedicated professionals, we talked about the thing most important to all of us – Time: How we spend it, why there's never enough of it, how we would want more of it and ways through which we can maximise it. We were inspired by those conversations and our amazing new contacts. We listened, we learned and we got a better understanding of what our prospective clients would want.

In all, it was a truly rewarding experience and our team never pulled together more than at this event. Special mention must go to Helen for keeping us all sane and being the 'rock' throughout the project; to Ken for working so many late hours with a smile; to Daria for inspiring the team with her quiet confidence & manning the stand so effectively, to James for our stunning artwork, and to other members of our team too numerous to mention but who contributed to the success of our show in no small measure, Thank you!

The Record-Breaking Tube Challenge

The London tube ride is rarely something commuters look forward to.

Delays, overcrowding and that inevitable signal failure. No, travelling on the Underground isn’t something you will often hear spoken of with fondness. But it does seem to bring out the competitiveness in some of us.

Guinness World Record holders, Geoff Marshall and Anthony Smith, travelled to all the London Underground stations within 16 hours, 20 minutes and 27 seconds! Certainly puts the early morning commute time into perspective.

See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24203949

On average, we have a dozen errand runners using the London underground daily, facilitating requests and helping busy Londoners save time. For us, it’s not a competition and we have no world records to break. We simply run errands intelligently because we love to help. Those shoes you didn’t have time to re-heel, those spare keys you didn’t have time to cut, Jack’s present you couldn’t get off the meeting to collect; we’ll go in your stead and your day needn’t feel a hiccup.

Start saving time today. Delegate errands at www.errandsplus.co.uk or give us a call on 02077540324 to discuss your needs.
