Council support made to measure

With the help of a small business grant from Warwickshire County Council, Procter & Chester (Measurements) Ltd has been able to expand its premises, increasing from 3,000 to 9,000 square feet!

“The grant enabled to expand just when we needed to,” said Gordon Chester, Managing Director. “Last year we reached the point where every square inch of our premises was being utilised. Sometimes for visitors that didn’t look optimal and it certainly wasn’t ideal.

“We were at full stretch to do all the work that we had on and were certainly in no position to grow.

“Now we have the capacity to aim for growth in line with the pleasing amount of demand there is for our services. We are in the process of taking on three new staff, two of which will be production apprentices. Our work is very specialist, so they will receive bespoke training here while also being sent through college.”

Warwickshire County Council wrote a piece on the expansion in their “Warwickshire Means Business” publication. The full article can be read here: https://business.warwickshire.gov.uk/july-2018/news-in-brief/council-support-made-to-measure-for-procter-chester.

Speak to your audience
You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about

Take a few moments to plan your post
Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.

Don’t forget to add images
Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.

Edit carefully before posting
Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
