Spring Estate Agents Operations Manager Studies NLP & High Performace Organisations

2010-09-22T04:47:00.000-07:00

Over the last couple of weeks I have attended two training opportunities, provided by Business Link and local business development company Budding Futures. It was great to be informed about topics that really made me think about our company and my input as operations manager and also meet some like minded people.

Jessica Matthews Spring Estate Agents Operations Manager.

The first event I attended was a seminar titled “Developing a High Performance Organisation” this event was provided by Business Link and was at the KC Stadium. I found this seminar extremely interesting and could really relate the topics to our own business. The whole idea is that a high development organisation stems from the attitude that those involved are goal orientated. “Goal first, process second!” What is important is to provide colleagues with strong goals, but also the flexibility to make choices whilst trying to achieve those goals, rather then being held back by procedures.

In the seminar we discussed that often size can work against excellence and as a company grows it is more difficult to avoid structure stifling productivity. I like to think one of the things we do provide at Spring is use initiative and entrepreneurial spirit which hopefully results in high performance/service. The difference between a good performing organisation and one which is high performing is all in the little things. It is important to stop and keep asking ourselves, are we servicing our clients above and beyond?

The following week I went along to the new Albermarle Music Centre in Hull which is next to St Stephen’s. Here I took part in a seminar about Neuro Linguistic Processes (NLP) which was conducted by Helen Bissett from Budding Futures. This may sound extremely complicated but in a nutshell NLP is looking at the philosophy for personal success and how we can re-frame and model our thoughts. Currently the most famous user of NLP techniques at their highest level would be Derren Brown. He uses techniques which allow people to re-programme how they think about something in order to change an experience of a future event.

I am not sure that it is always possible to train your mind to go against natural instinct although I definitely think there is something to this. What was interesting to note was that typically we operate with selective attention and we often only see what we focus upon and miss other things around us. It is therefore important to understand this and try not to lose sight of the bigger picture.

I thoroughly enjoyed both events, although very different both in content and the way in which the material was delivered, I found them both extremely informative. The NLP seminar was especially enjoyable, I got involved in some great activities and I met some very interesting people. Special mention also goes to Life & Fork who provided a fantastic buffet lunch.

Spring Estate Agents Managing Director Govind Manocha said "This was a fantastic opportunity to facilitate some high quality free training and introduce my colleague to some new though provoking concepts. I believe she found this training hugely beneficial and resulted in some very interesting discussions within the office".

Spring Estate Agents Invited To Watch Hull FC vs Salford City Reds At The KC.

2010-06-19T08:25:00.000-07:00

To mark the end of Hull Business Week, Spring Estate Agents were invited to watch Hull FC vs Salford City Reds at the KC Stadium.

The evening began with pre-match drinks & a singer providing entertainment in the stadium’s Circle Restaurant.

Director of Hull FC, James Rule took to the stage to welcome us all & guests were even given the opportunity to win a P&O mini cruise from the team’s sponsors. After enjoying a fantastic three course meal, James Rule returned to the stage with Hull FC player Mark O’Meley to provide a pre-match analysis for guests, after a fantastic win against St Helen’s the week before, it was clear that the team were very confident for the game ahead. At this point children from two local primary schools were invited to the stage. They had been enjoying a tour of the stadium & were now given the chance to win some signed merchandise from the team, before going on to watch the match & meet the players.

I thought it was fantastic how much the team wanted to get local children involved & interested in the sport, they were all clearly having a fantastic time.

We went out to the stadium to take our seats just as the players were coming onto the pitch. Hull FC scored the first try & the game ended with another Hull FC home game victory, scoring 34-12 against the Salford City Reds.

The evening ended after returning to the Circle Restaurant for post match drinks & Hull FC coach Richard Agar alongside the games man of the match Jordan Tansey providing us a post match analysis of the game.

A fantastic evening to end another years great Business Week in Hull, made all the better by Hull FC’s second victory in two weeks.

Spring Attends 'Let's Get Ready To Futureproof Event' As Part Of Hull Biz Week.

2010-06-13T15:00:00.000-07:00

Business leaders had a treat when inspirational youngsters showcased their entrepreneurial talents as part of Business Week 2010.

The Hull Youth Enterprise and Rotherham Ready partnerships held an event at Hull KR's home at Craven Park, where children from five primary schools ( East Halton Primary, Highland Primary, North Ferriby, Thorpepark and Thorpe Hesley Junior School from Rotherham) presented their enterprise stories to an audience of leading politicians as well as key education and business opinion formers from across the Humber.

At the event delegates also heard from Claire Young, runner up in the BBC series "The Apprentice" in 2008 and an Ambassador for Enterprise UK. Claire Young said: "Enterprise is open to everyone and anyone, and Hull and Rotherham are certainly leading the way in how they work with their primary pupils - I really enjoyed my time in Hull and am honoured to be invited back for November and to help develop a retail challenge with St Stephens Centre and Hull City Council in the near future."Programmes like "Junior Apprentice", "The Apprentice" and "Dragon's Den" have made business and enterprise much more accessible and exciting to young people and hopefully removed some of the common misconceptions."

After their presentations, the children set the adults a task of designing and marketing a t-shirt to promote Business Week 2011 or Global Entrepreneurship Week 2010 with a World Cup theme, which five teams had to present to the "Mini Rottweiler Pit". (Claire Young became known on TV as "The Rottweiler"!).

Neil Hudgell, Chairman of Hull Kingston Rovers presented Paula Harmer the Headteacher of Thorpe Hesley from Rotherham with flowers from the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership and a cheque for £200 for the school, from the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank, to help them to further develop their enterprising ideas. Neil Hudgell said "Yet again, the young people showed that they are all developing their enterprise skills and they are our future and they are certainly ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow."

The winning team was the Otters and their design will be printed and worn in Global Entrepreneurship Week in November. They donated their prize money to the primary schools that took part in the day to help them develop their enterprising idea.

Spring Estate Agents Managing Director Govind Manocha said "To hear the children talk about their businesses and the steps they had taken was truly inspiring. They also presented with confidence to a packed room which was also very impressive. A big well done to all the schools that took part and I was please we where able to donate our prise back to the schools to help continue this fantastic work"

Apprentice’s eye view of 2010 Hull Business Expo.

2010-06-10T04:06:00.000-07:00

Today I went to the Hull Business Expo at the Bonus arena. Before we entered the building there were lots of flags promoting the event and some cars which could be won, so we entered the raffle and took some pictures. As we went into the building there were lots of stalls promoting their businesses which were interesting as I had the chance to meet some interesting people and find out what they were promoting.

The first stall we went to I was introduced to a man and a young girl similar to my age who worked for a company that maintain our printer. This was interesting as I had the chance to learn more about what they did. As we walked round we started talking to lots of different people and took some information from the stalls. At the event there was a lady promoting the apprenticeship scheme for Hull Collage I had the chance to have a chat with her and tell her how my apprenticeship was going which was good. We also bumped into a lady who is a makeup artist and has a company (Hayley SFX) which does special effect makeup which I found interesting.

We also had a chat to a company which makes custom made stationary and equipment for businesses which was interesting as I got to see some of the different things they do and they took our business card and showed us brochures on all the different equipment. We also met a company which provides eco friendly bins for recycling waste we had a chat to them and found more about what they did and the different places they cater for. We had a look round all of the stalls and found that some of them may be useful to us in the future. It was nice to see all the different displays and receive free gifts and chat to the people at the event and I really enjoyed it as it was something new and was defiantly worth going.

This year they are aiming to raise enough money to provide every child at the school with a new uniform. We need to raise about £1,000. Also in this World Cup year we want to help the school build a football pitch for use by the children and the local community.

The second charity 'Real Aid and this year they are running a very simple but very practical and effective campaign 'Wellies for Africa.'

'Real Aid supports agricultural projects in the Bumpe Chiefdom, Sierra Leone. This enables the local community to grow rice to feed their families. During 2010 we aim to help the community by reducing the spread of parasitic disease which unfortunately spreads through the soil to the field workers.

And finally the most memorable presentation came from the children at St Nicholas Primary School as they talked about the business operations, processes and procedures they used to turned £150 into £2000. What a fantastic achievement and a huge well done.

Young Apprentice Has A Spring In Her Step!

2010-04-10T10:38:00.000-07:00

Spring Estate Agents in Hull are pleased to have been selected as a suitable training provider forHull College’s NVQ in customer service and would like to offer a warm welcome to Samantha Kirkham who joined us at the end of March.

Hi there I’m Samantha Kirkham. I am 17 and currently on a customer service apprenticeship with Hull College and on placement at Spring Estate Agent on Anlaby Road.

I first heard about the scheme through the Hull Collage website where I saw the different apprenticeships available. I then attended an open day at Hull Collage for and this is when I heard about the customer service apprenticeship. After I filled the paper work in I was given a date to come back and do two basic Maths and English assessments and meet Steve who would be my tutor. After I had enrolled I was informed that there were three companies that wanted to interview me. I went to two previous interviews before I came to Spring Estate Agents but from walking in the door I felt at ease and surprisingly less nervous than the previous interviews.

I was interviewed by Govind Manocha the business owner and my interview took about an hour including paperwork. Then it was just waiting to hear if I had been successful. Early the following week Steve rang me up and told me I had been accepted and I would be starting the following Monday. On my way to Spring for my first day at work I was a bag of nerves walking up to the front door, but when I picked up the courage to go inside, I was greeted with the same friendly approach from my interview and was made to feel very welcome.

My first two weeks have been jam packed with new experiences and I have even been given my own project to complete to do with the local regeneration scheme. I have learnt so much over the past two week and am looking forward to the coming year with Spring Estate Agents. I am visited by my tutor Steve once a week and he also happy that I have been placed with Spring. I also keep a diary at work which I write in each day so there is a record of my learning. Govind and Jessica have been brilliant and have made me feel part of the team. I have already started to learn some important skills that are essential to a good business/customer service and a professional work environment.

Managing Director Govind Manaocha said “Once again I am so pleased that exactly two years from our launch, we have been selected to offer such a training position. Even though when Samantha came for interview she was very nervous and did not say much, I could tell that she possessed the right qualities we were looking for. During the last two weeks Samantha has come to work every day with a Spring in her step, a smile on her face and a positive attitude for learning. Needless to say we are very happy with Samantha’s initial progress and look forward to her growing in confidence and becoming a valued member of the Spring team”.

Hull City Centre Development Hailed By The Hull Civic Society.

2009-04-02T04:35:00.000-07:00

A new hi-tech residential development has been hailed by the Hull Civic Society.
Ken Osborne and Julie Hare, developers behind the Sawmill Apartments, believe the city centre building represents the future of Hull. The Hull-born couple said they believe the city should be on a par with the likes of Leeds, Manchester and London.

Society president John Netherwood presented the couple with the prestigious Good Mark Award for the building, in Dock Street, city centre, which is the tallest timber-framed building in the north of England.

Ms Hare, who lives in Hessle, said after the award presentation: "We wanted to create a development in our own town that would help get rid of this unfair image of Hull as a second-rate city."

One of the most impressive features is the home automation system, which allows residents to text instructions to the computerised system so they can run a bath or switch the heating on before they even get home.

Ms Hare said: "We are also proud of the eco-friendly aspects. The apartments are well-insulated and energy-efficient."

Mr Osborne said he was delighted to receive the award for the 48-apartment building. He said: "We have lived and breathed this development and we are very proud of it.
"It means a lot to receive this recognition."

Mr Netherwood said such developments are important for the city.
He said: "With its quality materials, this has raised the bar in Hull and is an interesting addition to the streetscape. "We are also pleased the development has provided underground car parking."

The complex include one, two and three-bedroom apartments and prices range from £110,000 to £166,000. The couple are now creating three town houses and a restaurant on the George Street side in phase two of the development.

The 3 bedroom townhouses which border the north edge of the development offer a unique opportunity to create cutting edge contemporary interiors over three floors, in the original period buildings.

The breakfast was a fantastic opportunity for us to network with some of the other influential business people from the area, also some fun was had watching the "Are you smarter than a CEO?" quiz which played a team of local CEO's against a group of students from Hymers College.

All in all it was a promising start & we look forward to the events throughout the week.

After a meeting this morning with 106.9FM WHCR we have now signed up to advertise our company and services to the local community via the radio. Within the next week you will be able to hear our advert on West Hull Community Radio for the duration of our 2 month campaign.

"106.9FM WHCR is a new style of radio - you'll hear a mix of songs you know with interesting interviews about local life as well as essential information like weather, travel and what's on events"

What appealed to Spring Estate Agents about 106.9FM WHCR is that they showcase what's great about West Hull and the surrounding area, promoting a strong feeling of community and every week you can hear dozens of interviews with people like us, talking about their organisations or projects they're involved in.

Hull City FC

2008-05-27T05:21:00.000-07:00

This weekend saw Hull City FC secure their place in the Premier League with their 1-0 victory over Bristol City. The team’s win also means they have won the richest single match in world football, estimated to be worth £60 million.

Spring Estate Agents Ltd which is located close to the KC Stadium on Anlaby Road are not only big Hull City fans but are involved in the Hull’s regeneration & are excited about what the win will mean for the city. The Premier League could have some financial spin-offs and the city’s urban regeneration is reflected in the team’s sudden rise.
Hull’s council leader Carl Minns claims schemes like the £100 million regeneration of the Humber Street area, home to the city’s fruit market for nearly 200 years and the £165 million Humber Quays development on the river Humber are proof that the city is in the middle of an economic and social renaissance.

“To get to the Premier League is a visible sign of Hull’s resurgence.” __ Carl Minns

A lot of multi-millionaire owners would come to Hull for away games and they may then look at the city as somewhere they could locate a business or they may want to come and spend a weekend in the East Riding and visit Beverley, the best town in the country.

“To see the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo coming to the KC and going to places like Anfield and Old Trafford will have a massive positive effect on the city.” __ Nick Barmby

The city’s football club will now also be a source of great civic pride in Hull.

Hessle Road Network

2008-05-06T05:08:00.000-07:00

The Hessle Road Network is a community-led organisation that was formed to enable local residents to actively participate in regeneration issues in their area. As a local business already involved in Hull’s regeneration projects Spring Estate Agents Ltd have recently been in talks with the charity to see how we can be of help and in turn form a close working relationship.
The Hessle Road Network currently has two areas of activity; The Youth Project and the Health & Social Care Project. As these projects are based in the Hessle Road area of Hull including Newington & St Andrews which is included in the proposed regeneration, therefore, we hope to be able to offer support with the improvement of the housing market in that area.
See Spring Estate Agents Ltd in the next issue of I Love Hessle Road.
