Happy Easter

Yes I know I'm a little late, but this is the first chance I've had. Hopefully you all had a good few days off work and are making the most of the reduced traffic (school holidays are a wonderful thing).

Following a very quite start to the year things seemed to pick up during March and we are hoping for this to continue. However having listened to the experts, retails sales are down, house prices are down, confidence in the future is down, but the one thing that is on the up is my waste line. I think this must be due to comfort eating and drinking brought on by depression or maybe it was just the Easter Eggs.

All the Junior members of The Complete Office got spoilt over Easter with toooooo many eggs, as usual, so the adults (well an adult) had to step in and assist with the consummation (the kids will never notice).

To welcome in another Spring Time we have Sprung into action with our Computer Solutions Brochure, although perhaps a better title would be Complete Solutions as there seems to be everything you could need for your office. To start with we have an excellent A3 Copier for only £999. This machine has the ability to reduce your bills to only 25% of their original size and increase your assets by up to 400% it's incredible. There is also a Keyboard and Mouse by Microsoft. I think they should have called it the Pinocchio range as it Has No Strings (it's wireless). Once again The Complete Office offer you quality product at realistic prices. We also have our very wide range of computer consumables at sensible prices, all delivered the next day without any delivery charges. There are some fantastic Camera Offers and then there's a Gel Rest for your Wrist and a Glove for your Keyboard as well as a Body Glove? for your CD's. Who could ask for more?

One range of items which are featured quite heavily on Pages 18/19 are Shredders. I hope that by now the vast majority of our customers own and use a shredder, but for those of you who haven't or don't it really is essential. Unfortunately identity theft (both personal and corporate) is on the increase and the only way to protect yourselves is to make sure any current information is stored safely in lockable cupboards or safes (see our main catalogue) and any unwanted information is destroyed. I know I sound bossy but having been the victim of Corporate Identity Theft I know how painful it can be. So Act Today!

May I take the liberty of suggesting that if you have an office shredder you offer your staff the chance to destroy any of their unwanted papers? A few moments taken allowing them to do so may save many work hours trying to sort out the problems identity theft would cause. End of Sermon.

Talking of Sermon's I must just say that I was saddened by the passing of Pope John Paul II who during his many years in office achieved a great deal.

Once again thanks as ever for your attention. Have a good month and I'll leave you with ...

Malc's Meanderings: Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Cheers for now.
