The business support team at DBS

“I founded DBS 24 years ago having struggled to find quality, affordable office facilities for our management consultancy company (IMD). I thought at the time there must be other companies who want the same as I do for my business and I was right! DBS Managed Offices was started to provide impressive character offices in beautiful surroundings  that create an excellent image for business and a professional, but friendly, atmosphere for our customers and their clients. DBS has grown over the years to three centres in key locations throughout the East Midlands with close proximity to major road networks and airport/rail links.”

What can I do for you: I am passionate about providing the kind of workspace and quality of service that helps people to be productive and successful but at the same time is a really comfortable and enjoyable place to work.

Likes: Straight conversations, country walks, good food and wine and travel

Dislikes: Poor customer service, excuses and not enough time to do all the interesting things on my ‘list’

Contact me: I work mostly behind the scenes at DBS, coaching my staff and running the business. I can be contacted on 01332 810 900 during week days – please feel free to add me on LinkedIn.

I started with DBS in 2003 after working in Pharmacy so quite a difference! I enjoy the variety and challenge of working for DBS with the offices, meeting rooms, flexible working, virtual offices and our growing portfolio of serviced accommodation. In my spare time I enjoy long walks with my beautiful dog and then settling down on the sofa with him to watch a movie.

What can I do for you: As General Manager, I oversee the day to day running of all the properties, ensuring good quality and customer service is maintained. I have lots of experience and can advise you on the most affordable and appropriate work space solution for your business; whether that’s a fully serviced, semi-serviced, virtual or shared office.

I can also help you to find the most restful and comfortable apartment; for a lone traveller, 2 people, number of colleagues or a family and whether it’s an overnight stay, weekend break, working week, a month or a number of months – we can offer flexibility and great value for money.

Likes: Reaching win:win’s, honesty, good manners, nice food and wine.

Dislikes: Poor customer service, unfairness, ill manners, getting older!

Contact me: I work predominantly from our Castle Donington office, please feel free to call me on 01332 810 900, email me at julie @ dbs-centres.co.uk or connect with me on Linkedin and I can create a tailored package that suits your needs. I am available to meet with you to discuss fully your requirements and how we can help you.

“I started with DBS in 2007 after working in recruitment. Having worked in a business centre previously I really couldn’t wait to join DBS and love the challenge of working from a busy business centre. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and socialising.”

What can I do for you: I provide a professional yet friendly service to my clients to ensure their office runs smoothly and efficiently, allowing them to concentrate on their businesses. I can discuss your office requirements and advise you of the best service at the best price for you and create a tailored package that suits your needs perfectly.

Likes: Cost-effectiveness, hard work

Dislikes: Poor customer service

Contact Me: I work mainly from our Glenfield Centre where you can call me on 0116 232 5100, email me nicky @ dbs-centres.co.uk or connect with me on Linkedin.  I would be happy to discuss any of our flexible services and the benefits for you and your business.

“I’ve always had a love of numbers, growing up. At 18 I was given the opportunity to train and work in accountancy and I’ve never looked back! I’ve worked as an Accountant for various companies, including events, manufacturing and social care industries. However, my real passion is working within small – medium sized enterprise. I like being able to create processes, streamline accountancy practices and reconcile accounts for ever growing and ever-changing businesses.”

What can I do for you: I manage the accountancy for DBS so I’ll be your point of contact for invoicing queries. I also offer accountancy support to clients, so whether you need more robust procedures or some training in SAGE, I can help. I can also do book keeping, tax returns and payroll and pension contributions on behalf of clients – whether it is training or to take the task completely.

Likes: Motorbikes, Speedway & touring in my caravan (with or without the grandchildren!)

Dislikes: Sloppy workmanship, negative attitudes and any film with Jim Carey!

Contact me: I’m mainly based at our Castle Donington site – please feel free to give me a call on 01332 810 900 or drop me an email to accounts@dbs-centres.co.uk. I’m always happy to meet for a coffee to discuss your business needs.
