Wherever you are planning your event ask your venue to ensure they buy local food and drink product and wherever possible use local suppliers. Commuting accounts for a third of all car travel and events are a great opportunity to reduce that. It affects both carbon emissions and the amount of expense receipts coming through!

All you have to do is book a car to Heathrow Airport, organise transfers on arrival at the foreign destination and then make sure that all your travellers get to every meeting in their jam-packed itinerary without a hitch. Choose the best supplier for your needs. How many people are travelling? Will there be a lot of luggage?

In 2010, Framery introduced the first pod to the market and now there are over 200 suppliers globally. News began to travel and soon companies bought them and loved them. The cost of constructing meeting rooms is 55% more expensive than pods. It’s a fact – pods are taking over the office. 2 Pods reduce stress Yes, really.

Business travel. Executives should not organise their own business travel, no matter how easy or quick they think it is! Assistants should manage all aspects of their executives business travel including both domestic and international trips. Purchase orders, invoices and expenses. Holiday and sickness records.

If your boss is travelling to many different locations during their business trip it can be a lot more time and cost effective hiring a car for them. Car hire can be expensive so it is worth doing a little research before you confirm the booking. It will also come in handy for your other colleagues travelling on business.

The diary claims a lot of time – scheduling and rescheduling meetings – and I also have a shared inbox with the other assistants so we can cover each other and make sure everything’s getting done that needs to be; that can be processing overtime payments for technical staff, arranging catering for supplier meetings, international travel, expenses….

At first the consultants picked their own hotels and put the cost through their expenses and as you can imagine their choice of hotels varied wildly and so did the price. I spent a long time managing the relationship with the serviced apartment supplier and also dealt with all of the positive and negative feedback from the consultants.

While your competitors have to pay out for expensive office space that they don’t need as clients dry up, your business can continue to thrive. An ideal example of people in this category are parents, childcare is hugely expensive and allowing people the flexibility to work from home means you can gain the staff others are missing out on!

Scudamore believes his philosophy so much that he has invited another competitor, Jason Mohr who runs Any Junk in London, to come visit their offices in Vancouver and even offered to pay half of his traveling costs! It’s expensive to develop your own resources so it makes sense to share. Think of the motor industry.

If your small or medium-sized business has only one finance manager or at least a smaller group of finance managers, chances are, handling every record of your company’s day-to-day expenses (on top of all their other duties) might get overwhelming from time to time, especially during earnings reports season.
