Our ClientsOver the years we have attracted a wide range of clients from many fields and professions. Some come to us because of our Covent Garden location and the creative ‘feel’ of the area, others because of our reputation and the fact that we have been around a long time. But all seem to appreciate the friendly and supportive atmosphere in the building. From designers to IT firms, from production and media companies to recruitment agencies, from PR to fashion, from accountants to solicitors – we help them all. Many of our clients come to us through word of mouth referrals, which we really appreciate. We encourage networking, for example; free advertising on notice boards, directories, formal and informal get-togethers. (Our parties are legendary and we have the photos to prove it!)

We found the friendly approach really refreshing and the willingness to go the ‘extra mile’ much appreciated. We almost expected the service levels to decrease when we did join, however we actually found the opposite. I can not recommend Garden Studios and the staff they have working for them highly enough; the reception staff are always very personable and give a good impression to our clients coming into the office, the maintenance staff always sort out problems quickly and with little fuss, while the managers are always there to help and offer any assistance they can. However, I would say the best bit about Garden Studios is the atmosphere and the other people that work here as well. You feel as though it is a family business and you are part of it, rather than feeling as if you are a dollar sign in a big corporate.” Andrew Pringle “Our small Arts Marketing and PR company has been here for 6 months. We moved from a place where the 'serviced' aspect of the building was seriously minimal and we are really enjoying the fact that we can rely on the friendly and efficient staff here to help us out when we need support - whether it be to get an urgent press mailing sent out, or with last minute meeting space. We have been able to call on administrative support where previously we would have had to spend valuable time doing the jobs ourselves, (organising couriers, running to the post office, stuffing envelopes etc.), and the work is always taken on in good faith and good spirit. From the minute our clients come through the door they feel they are in a professional environment which is important, but also that the environment is friendly, relaxed and as formal or informal as we might need it to be. That flexibility and reliability coupled with this brilliant location provide the right combination for us to thrive and business has never been better than since we moved here!” Clair Chamberlain “I moved into Garden Studios in June 1988 when I first set up my business. I could not have grown my business without the excellent service and backup provided by Garden Studios. The location could not be better: many of my clients are within walking distance. The Garden Studios team are always friendly, professional and helpful. Over the years, they have constantly looked at ways of improving the service and the building, and kept up with technology. A good example is the broadband connection which involved a major re-wiring project. In short, Garden Studios is a vibrant and friendly business community, in an ideal location.” Charles Marsden-Smedley “When starting a new business, particularly in the design and media sector, the correct postcode is essential. The kind of high street names we wanted to attract as clients would only come to us if they thought we were as big as our competitors. Garden Studios fit this brief perfectly. The telephonists are brilliant - friendly, cheerful and helpful. They take care of all the little things, post, parcels, phonecalls, deliveries etc., allowing us to get on with the important task of running a business. We've been here just over three years and our office space has grown with us over that time.” Ben Terret “Garden Studios offered us the perfect stepped approach to starting our business. From the date of company formation, we used the virtual office function until we were billing enough on a monthly basis to warrant a move into the company premises. This was made easy by the hands on and enthusiastic approach of the centre staff. We have now been here for some time and have been made to feel very welcome by the whole team who are friendly yet professional.” Ben Hawker “I have been delighted by the Garden Studios service. There is a genuinely personal feel, and they are always enthusiastic, willing to please, and efficient. Both my firm and my clients feel extremely well looked after, and I would strongly recommend them.” Robert Postlethwaite “Moving from Central London to Gloucestershire four years ago, I had no idea how I could retain London based clients and live in the Cotswolds. Because I am a writer and Business Development Consultant I did not need a fully staffed office, but I required a presence in London. Then someone mentioned that I could have a 'virtual office' in the heart of Covent Garden. It was the perfect solution. With minimal effort on my part, I have a virtual team of assistants and support staff who respond brilliantly to the needs of my business. They are there to answer the phone, take messages, deliveries and contact me when I am needed. I can turn up or phone in and get instant, on the spot service, advice and support. When in London I use the boardroom or conference rooms for meetings. Sometimes I just check in and use the hot desking facilities. Garden Studios is nothing if not versatile and we 'out of towners' never feel like second class citizens. We are always made extremely welcome by the friendly reception staff and management. Excellent work, I will happily continue to recommend you because your service represents good quality and great value.” A Very Satisfied Client “Thank you, Garden Studios, for giving us the chance to get our company up and running, I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others looking to start a new venture.” Simon Dawson “Having Garden Studios as a business base is ideal, it’s situated in the heart of Covent Garden which is fantastic for all my clients. The staff there are extremely helpful and always available to help and the great thing is you only pay for services when you need them. It’s a brilliant way to have a cost effective business in the centre of town.” Recruitment Agency “Garden Studios is a really positive working environment, with unfailingly-friendly staff providing a high-quality service whether people are working within the building or remotely. Clients regularly comment on the polite and cheerful "front-end" service that Garden Studios provides. Having worked with the Garden Studios team for a number of years I have nothing but praise for their commitment and attitude.” Richard Harris “As an organisation comprising a number of freelance consultants based in different parts of London, Garden Studios is effectively our company HQ. We use the meeting rooms to teach international clients, to hold internal meetings and to interview potential teachers. We really value the virtual office service: reception staff are efficient and accommodating, meeting room facilities are well-equipped and comfortable. The English Explorer's ethos is to be professional and friendly, and we feel confident that the Garden Studios team shares this view - both when working with us and when dealing with our clients. Overall, this is an excellent service.” Jessamie Thank you to the team for "their professional and efficient service to us over the past 3 years plus; they have provided a first class service" Toby East |
