Sharing the love

When we get great service, we like to tell people. Professional Integrity are a business mobile services company, providing a fantastic, professional, and personal service to the business community.

We were struggling with contracts that didn’t really fit, and reception that was frankly woeful (O2, you have some work to do in the Midlands!). Jane (from P.I.) visited the offices with a range of sim-cards to discern which network provided the best coverage in our area. Having settled that, she then went away to research the best possible contract for our particular needs.

In the end, we got the phones we wanted, on contracts that provided more, and were cheaper, than what we already have.

So, if you’re frustrated with your business mobiles, you should certainly give them a call: 0845 450 3630

Online Marketing/Social Media Workshops

admin — Sun, 01 May 2011 14:30:38 +0000

Find out more about/book your place on our Online Marketing and Social Media workshops to help you understand how it works.

Introduction

Over 500 million people use Facebook on a daily basis, of which 40,000 are over the age of 40 and within 10 miles of Leicester. Over 28% of the World’s population uses the Internet, and 42% of UK consumers buy something Online at least once per week. Can you afford not to know more about this marketing channel for a positive influence on your business growth?

Workshop Overview

Online Marketing is a large area, with the Industry growing every single day. For business owners, getting to grips with a solid understanding of the Internet, and how it can benefit their business, is often a daunting task. This Workshop provides Business Owners and Senior Managers with firm foundational knowledge of: How an Online Presence fits together, what Search Engine Optimisation actually is (and when and why you’ll need it), what Social Media is (and how to use it in house and measure results), and under-pining all of this, how to use Web Site Analytics software to ensure visitors to your web site are going to complete a purchase or new business enquiry.

What Makes Our Workshop Different?

Rather than a passive seminar where you’re ‘talked at’, our Workshop provides activities and group involvement to help you better understand and position your business on the Internet. We present you with comprehensive insights into Online Marketing and Social Media, supported by actionable points, delivered in plain English, that you can immediately begin to implement once back in the office. All materials presented on the day are available for download straight after, too. This is why we think you’ll rate our Workshop highly.

Online Marketing Facts and Figures

Ultimately your business wants customers, so what growth are we expecting to see in the use of Online purchasing?

We are recruiting!

admin — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:03:04 +0000

ADL Consulting are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and capable individual to come and join their team. The successful candidate will be proficient in PHP, ideally have a good handle on Perl, and MUST have previous experience with Drupal. Ideally, we would like this individual to be an all-round genius, but failing that, the successful candidate will at least be capable of designing databases. It would be nice if the candidate had experience working with Catalyst, but we won’t be too fussy about that one. Finally, the successful candidate will be smiley, happy, easy going – but not too laid back, able to make great coffee, and it would be nice if they can bake us all cakes on a regular basis too

If you think you fit the bill, please contact us using the contact us page, explaining why you think you’re the right person for the job. If you hear back from us, we’ll be asking for a copy of your cv, and arranging an interview. If you don’t hear back from us, please don’t be offended – it means we got swamped, and haven’t managed to cope with the number of people wanting to work for us!

Good luck!

Congratulations to onesixeight fitness

admin — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 22:07:00 +0000

We here at ADL Consulting would like to congratulate onesixeight fitness on the launch of their new website. [http://www.onesixeightfitness.com]

This sees another successful Drupal website development by the ADL Consulting team, from design through to final build in this fantastic Content Management System.

onesixeight fitness first approached ADL Consulting as a result of frustrations with being unable to update their static site, and like so many businesses out there, not getting very much from the retainer that they were paying to the previous web development company. Initially, we redeveloped their existing website into the Drupal CMS. This has now been superseded by the new site, which takes their web-presence to a new, slick, and professional level.

We’re delighted with the results, and wish onesixeightfitness all the best with their new site.

A Happy New Year to you all
