How often do you hear people say “it’s the little things that make a big difference”? Here at Business Works, we absolutely believe this to be the case.
We are Accountants and attention to detail is important to us and our clients, but our attention goes beyond the numbers to create surprise and delight for visitors to our offices.
Our company colour is orange, which is a far cry from our original choice of blue. We were told by a client that blue wasn’t representative of our company personality and that orange would be way more reflective of who we are and how we operate. Orange, we were told, represents prosperity, optimism, energy and creativity. We changed our letterhead, business cards and signage to orange, but the real beauty came when we properly embraced the orange.
When you visit our offices, you will find orange glasses for your water, orange coasters, an orange cosy on the teapot, even the posters on the wall are orange. We have an orange tree in a pot and even the towels and hand wash in the toilets are orange. I now dress in something orange every work day. I’m told it makes me very easy to pick out in a crowded room!
But the thing that really delights our clients is the chocolate. We always have an abundance of orange chocolate. We are probably one of the country’s biggest consumers of chocolate oranges and we add other popular chocolate orange goodies to keep it fresh and interesting.
We regularly get visitors tweeting about the chocolate orange bowl and joking that they are having one of their five a day.
So, what do you do to surprise and delight your clients? The smallest things really can leave a lasting impression.
We are proud to be the UK finalist in the Intuit Global Firm of the Future Competition. The next stage is a live vote and it would be amazing if you would vote for us. Voting is open from 16th October until 29th October 2017. Follow this link to check out our short promotional video. bit.ly/FotFUK. The video will show how orange is embedded in our culture too.
