A Tale of Two Offices: Meeting the Covid-19 Challenge And Winning
My business has been impacted by the pandemic.
My working environment has been changed, re-arranged in ways I could not have foreseen. It has affected my company bank balance; my relations with suppliers, and above all the view my clients take of me.
But, here’s the thing, all of the above has been impacted in a positive way.
Yes, that’s right: positive. Let me explain.
Many of you know that St Matthew, our City firm of accountants and the US-facing consultancy, Mount Bonnell Advisors, were based in one of the ancient byways of the City of London: Old Jewry. We had been in these offices since 2012. For those years all had been as you would expect, namely, a nice location, a pleasant work environment for my staff, and a civilized place for my clients to come for meetings. And all was just within a few meters walk of some of the best bars and restaurants known in the City. All round not bad!
