BUSINESS EXPANSION AT THE GENERATOR CENTRE

A recent arrival at Mitcham based Generator Centre is The Cabinet Office, a franchise business providing electronic document storage and safe shredding of confidential material. The service allows reduced storage costs and faster accessing of information for all types of business including legal firms, banks and public services.

Business owner, David Brown, started to set up the business in March 2008 and was operational by July, immediately employing 3 full time staff to collect and scan documents, allowing him to concentrate on the day to day management, sales and marketing.

The original Cabinet Office business started in Derby in 2004 and there are now offices located all over the UK. David understands the benefits of purchasing a franchise business with the structure and identity already in place, as well as the opportunity to share experiences and, if required, workload with other operators.

Being based in the Generator Centre brings a number of benefits - providing  an environment for business support with regular networking events, training sessions and the opportunity to meet with Jean Ottey, the Mitcham Means Business adviser.

Jean has worked with the Cabinet Office during its start up phase and David is expecting the Cabinet office to benefit from membership of Merton Chamber of Commerce and help from Go Green, the southlondon.biz greening business service.

The future is looking bright for the Cabinet Office with plans to increase employment as additional contracts are secured.  David says “I feel the advice given and applied to my business will create the cornerstones of a successful venture.”
