The Hotel has had a fascinating past and has made an important contribution to Conwy’s history, playing host to many famous people, such as Telford, Stephenson, Wordsworth and the Queen of Romania who lunched in the restaurant whilst visiting Llandudno.

n TRAINING
TRAINI GETTING THE
There is an often-voiced concern that in difficult economic times, too many companies regard training as a luxury, not a necessity, that they see it as a waste of money at a time when budgets are tight. However, the opposite is true because well trained employees are invaluable to the success of a business, particularly when trading conditions are tough.
But, how can this be achieved? Here’s a checklist:
n Start at the top All layers of the company must believe that training
is important and be committed to developing a learning atmosphere. Senior managers should lead the way in this, showing how highly they value training. n Fitting in with the company’s aims. Training should fit in with the
Why? Because in today’s business landscape, training can be the difference between a company surviving and a business that takes advantage of the opportunities as they open up. Train your staff to spot those opportunities and anything is possible. So investing in training is important. But why? Well, here are some reasons: n Improved recruiting. A reputation for training staff is likely to attract a
better calibre of applicant.
company’s strategic plan. Training should help employees develop both technical mastery and interpersonal skills such as effective communication, dispute resolution, quality management and team building, and it should be wrapped up within the company’s strategy for growth. n Finding out what is needed. Designing a training strategy should
begin with an accurate assessment of what you do well and what needs improvement. Ask tough questions: what is holding your team back? What skills do your people lack? What do they need to do the job better?
n Holding onto staff. When people know that a company believes
in their personal development, they are more likely to stay with that company for a longer period of time. Some managers complain that they train staff who then leave. Well, it does happen but you lessen the chances if staff see their chances for advancement with their current employer. n Improved output. A well trained team that wants to stay with company
produces stability and results in a more productive, enthusiastic and motivated workforce.
n Get the delivery right. There are many ways to deliver training –
classroom, mentoring, computer-assisted and web-enabled. Choose the most effective delivery method for your team given your objectives. n Following up. After the completion of the training, you must provide
an opportunity to apply the skills. People should not successfully learn the skills without being given the chance to use them on the job. Most companies realise that they need help in putting their ideas into practice, and that means bringing in specialist training businesses. Specialists understand not just the subject which they teach but also the way people learn, ensuring that money invested in training is well spent.

FINANC GETTING YOUR
RIGHT...THE EXPERT WAY Good financial advice is crucial if businesses are to survive and the good advisers are the ones who pride themselves on working with their clients in a way which makes them feel comfortable.
Through talking things honestly and sensibly, adviser and client can work together to come up with an action plan which is based on a solid financial platform.
At a time when more and more businesses are starting to feel more confident about the economy, and are beginning to think ‘investment’ rather than ’cutbacks’, it is vital that they seek out the right advice.
And the good advisers are flexible: they know that, as life progresses and businesses meet changing situations, their client’s needs and priorities will change. That means a financial plan that can be adapted when necessary.
Even though the financial crisis is slipping into memory, the banks remain careful when offering loans so companies seeking the necessary finance still need to plan carefully.
Once that initial plan has been drawn up, the process moves onto the next stage, obtaining the finance to make things happen.
Financial advisers start by finding out what a business needs; it may be help with better financial management or it may be support applying for loans or grants to buy equipment or take on new staff. Bringing in the specialist advisers is crucial because they are the ones who know what opportunities are available. That means an initial meeting when the adviser, be it a specialist financial services company or based within a bank, sits down with the client and draws up a detailed plan based not just on current needs but also looking to the future - maybe even doing a little dreaming with the client! Key to that is agreeing priorities. What does the client want to achieve in the short term, where do they want to be in the mid-term, what is the longterm vision? Where do they see their company in ten years and what kind of finance is required to make that possible?
38
WCCC2011.indd 38
One way of obtaining finance is going to the banks but another way for businesses requiring injections of funds is approaching venture capitalists, who are well versed in assessing prospective partners’ financial needs and dovetailing them with their own. Even in difficult economic times, such an approach should not be dismissed out of hand because a bright idea remains a bright idea and can attract funding to turn it into reality. Indeed, there are those who argue that difficult economic times are the most important time to invest in new ideas because innovation is a key way of bringing the country out of recession. The history of British business has been scattered with tales of innovations that arose out of the need to create new markets. None of it can happen without finance - and that means calling in expert help.

We are a dedicated Bacs Approved Payroll Bureau here to take the hassle of payroll away from you.
WHY OUTSOURCE PAYROLL
Running a business these days is becoming harder and more and more time has to be dedicated to staying in business. One of the down side effects of this are that internal functions are often neglected or take up valuable time which could be used more economically. Payroll is one of these areas.
Have you ever thought about the true cost of running your payroll?
Weather you process it yourself or delegate it to a staff member it always takes more time than you initially think to process it. There are a hundred little things that go wrong and add more time to processing l forgotten overtime, l last minute additional payments or deductions, l employees calling in sick, l employee queries – “Why is my tax so high”, “my overtime doesn’t look right” All these can mean time costing re-runs. Organizing the payments to employees to make sure they are paid on time. Legislation changes mean constant retraining or hours reading and understanding new changes as well as time spent dealing with HM Revenue and Customs. There is the cost of software, training and stationary requirements.
Remember payroll is time sensitive, what happens if you have a system failure?, or the person doing the payroll is on holiday or off sick, the payroll still has to run but who is going to do it ? All these administrative burdens are associated with managing your own payroll.
So how can Outsourcing Payroll be any better?
Outsourcing can be easily budgeted, you will save precious business time, see a reduction in administration costs and capital expenditure. With the right facilities in place payments can be made on your behalf not only to employees but to the HM Revenue as well. There is no extra training for legislation changes, a reduction in costly errors which can result in improved employee morale. But most importantly, you will have peace of mind enabling you to concentrate more on your business. A payroll Bureau is there to remove your worries from you as we are the professionals that specialize in Payroll. We can save you time and money. Contact us today to manage your payroll so you can concentrate on running your business successfully knowing that your employee’s are being paid correctly. We provide a valuable professional service saving you time and money, removing the need for you to buy specialist payroll software, payroll stationary and keeping up to date with ever changing payroll legislation.

projectors and Internet access, are the staff friendly and flexible in helping you meet your needs? If the answers to those questions are yes then the event is likely to be a success.
Email and hand-held communications may be transforming the world in which we live but the human touch is never more important than in testing economic times.
Staging an exhibition is a complex task and one that really does require some expert input. Whether it is staff at specialist venues or outside exhibition organisers, they will tell you that there is a lot to think about to ensure that the event goes smoothly.
For many business people, the place to create and cement those personal contacts is at conferences; humans still have a fundamental need to look each other in the eye when communicating despite the rapid growth of the Internet. The key to making such events a success is spending a little time choosing the right venue and making sure that you get the right support from its staff. Even if that may mean paying a little extra, it is money well spent because it does not make sense to cut corners when such an approach could make your event less than effective. There are few things more embarrassing for an event organiser than to see it unravel in front of them because they skimped on the planning - and a cheap venue will inevitably look cheap, presenting a poor image of the organiser’s organisation. When assessing the venue you are looking for a number of other important factors. Can the venue cope with the numbers expected to attend, has it got a good meeting room, will it provide equipment like
44
WCCC2011.indd 44
The first consideration is the nature of your event. Do you need a large hall or will something a little more intimate work? Atmosphere is important to the success of exhibitions so getting it right is important. Too large a hall and it can feel impersonal and intimidating, too small and visitors feel cramped and uncomfortable. That atmosphere extends to the setting of the stages, stands and stalls. Do you want them in a regimented layout or do you want them more flexible? What will make your delegates feel most at home? Whatever the choice, it is vital that visitors can easily understand the layout and find their way around with the minimum of fuss. One of the other things that makes an exhibition successful is a sense that something is happening so it is useful to have staged areas for demonstrations and performances, or for companies to show their products at work. Such activities, with the interest they attract, makes an exhibition feel like it is alive. All good exhibitions have a touch of theatre about them.

WORRYI TAKE THE
OUT OF RUNNING A BUSINESS
It is a simple truth that many businesses would not be able to operate without logistics companies. Trying to run a manufacturing firm is a massive undertaking. Managers have to worry about designing and making the products, testing them before they leave the plant and ensuring that the packaging is right. That is more than enough to occupy their time without worrying about how they are going to get the products to the marketplace once they leave the factory. Because dealing with the logistics of business is very time consuming and takes effort and expertise, logistics companies are seen as an ideal solution. To ease the worry, many businesses outsource the delivery of their products to specialists, allowing them to focus on running and growing their businesses. As a result, the number of logistics firms have grown dramatically over recent years. So what are you looking for in a logistics company? Well, a company with all of the below is well worth hiring: A good way with customers - logistics can be fraught, and delays caused by everything from road accidents to bad weather can cause all sorts of anxiety for clients. However a good logistics company makes sure its staff handle everything calmly and courteously to put the customer’s mind at rest. And that they are adept at finding solutions when things are going wrong!
48
WCCC2011.indd 48
Accountability- Freight is not an exact science, so many things can come into play once a load is on its way, and a good logistics company will make sure that they keep the client informed of progress. Technology- A good logistics company will make use of the best in new technology, including online tracking systems which allow them to know exactly where a product is at any given time. Available - successful logistics companies make sure that, even if their teams are out on the road, the client can get hold of someone to find out the latest about their product’s progress. In addition to the firms that carry the large loads, there are also specialist delivery firms handling the likes of important letters and parcels. That has become a growth area as the postal service sees itself opened up to fierce competition. And with Internet shopping growing rapidly in popularity, the presence of efficient companies that can span the world will become ever more important. Again, the good delivery companies are the ones that operate tracking systems so that they know where an item is at any time - and many of them email their customers regularly to make sure that they are kept informed. Peace of mind counts for a lot in the logistics industry.

PROPER SELECTING A
FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Selecting a new property is a major decision for any business. There are so many things to consider, so many things that can go wrong, so many details to be closely examined before the paperwork is signed. The challenges presented by the property market is why many business owners and managers turn to specialist companies who are experienced in the field. That decision makes even more sense when taking into account the past 12 months with recession and the slow rate of recovery complicating the judgements that need to be made. Some companies delay or even abandon plans in difficult trading times, and others proceed more cautiously, but on the flip side, the economic downturn has led to competitive property prices in some areas. It is often said that the best time to invest is in a recession and the same could be said to be true when it comes to property. Moving into somewhere bigger and better is a show of confidence that speaks volumes for clients and prospective clients. Property industry exponents say that they are seeing a slow return in confidence when it comes to investing, a trend being driven by encouraging economic figures which suggest that the economy is on the way back up. The role of the property consultant when a company has decided to invest is to take as much of the hassle away from the process as possible
52
WCCC2011.indd 52
and that starts with locating the kind of sites that would appeal to a client. Consultants have a vast knowledge of land and buildings available and their expertise is invaluable when it comes to selecting the best one. Their knowledge can save a lot of time. Surveys of businesses seeking to expand or relocate have suggested that the main considerations when it comes to investing in new property has been the need to keep costs under control and also the impact such a purchase, or lease, may have on company cash flow. That is true of all companies but particularly so for small businesses taking their first tentative steps towards expansion. Indeed, the number of companies seeking lease arrangements rather than buying outright does seem to be increasing, although there are still companies that prefer the idea of owning their own premises, seeing it as an investment for the future. When the right site has been selected by the client, property consultants are crucial when it comes to brokering the deals because they understand their clients’ needs, and anxieties, and are able to negotiate with property owners to secure the best terms. Once terms have been agreed, property consultants will also be on hand to offer a continuing service until the move has been made and the client is happily settled in a new home.
