We were delighted to welcome Globetrotting Camera Operator, Leighton Cox into his new Wrexham office. Leighton Cox is the face (and hair) behind cursoncamera.com and has a rapidly growing YouTube Channel for camera aficionados. Broadcasting weekly on his channel, Leighton has over 10 years’ experience in the industry. With his skills he’s created content and footage for the likes of Amazon Prime Originals, Booking.com, Red Bull and This Girl Can to name a few. More locally he’s one of the brains behind Wrexham TV, but that could be a vicious rumour, we’ll see. We have a suspicion that we’ll be seeing more of Wrexham TV soon.
Interestingly, Leighton is only two doors away from our resident newshounds, Wrexham.com. So, keep an eye out for exciting camera collaborations on Wrexham.com and further afield. As an aside, it’s interesting to note that, between them Wrexham.com, Leighton Cox Ltd and Mercury Promotions, aka Wales Comic Con are fast turning the first floor at 67 Regent Street into a creative and media hub. This brings a nice mix into the building with Pertemps Recruitment having the majority holding downstairs. We’re glad Leighton has made The Regent, Wrexham his ‘space to thrive’ and wish him every success for the future. Until next time, happy Officing. Joanna x

Wrexham Branch of National Recruitment Firm, Pertemps take on more space to thrive at 67 Regent Street.
Regent Street in Wrexham has proved a positive move for Pertemps Wrexham. Last Friday morning we handed the key over to another office suite at The Regent, Wrexham. Pertemps Wrexham has expanded steadily under Branch Manager, John Stubbs, since he took over. To me, it seems only a few months back that Pertemps moved into their ground floor offices, yet it was two years ago in December 2014 that Pertemps took over the conference space at 67 Regent Street, relocating from 40 Regent Street. Since then, the number of recruitment specialist staff at the branch has doubled. Due to their expansion, they’ve been looking for some extra space in the building, so when Mercury Promotions moved offices, it was an opportunity not to be missed. Now with the Harlech Suite, Pertemps have an additional quiet space for interviews, meetings and more. We wish our clients Pertemps every success in the coming years as they continue to be ‘the face of recruitment’ here in Wrexham. If you’re seeking a new job, looking to change your career or need some advice, visit Pertemps. Until next time. Happy Officing! Joanna x Our main business is called Ebenezer Properties! Isn't that a strange name for a property business? Here's the true story.... Many people wonder what’s the name Ebenezer all about? I’m here to blow the lid off the mystery. We all know that a name is important and for a child there is nothing worse than having a name that is open to finger pointing and mocking. Historically names had a meaning that was either a desire, proclamation or something to reflect the feelings of the parents at that time. In the same way a name for a business is just as important, after all it’s like a child that we nurture and help grow
The name Ebenezer doesn’t come from the love of Charles Dickens or as a celebration of Ebenezer Scrooge. Rather it is inspired by a little chapel in the countryside, an ‘Ebenezer Chapel’. The chapel was built at the time when there were more chapels than pubs in Wales, and the word Ebenezer comes from a story in the Bible where the prophet Samuel erected a stone as a monument to commemorate help from God as recorded in (Samuel 7:12-14). It reads, “Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, [a] saying, “Thus far has helped us.”. Ebenezer was adopted as a commemorative word and thanks for God’s help. In summary, the fictitious character Ebenezer Scrooge, who was transformed in Dicken’s ‘Christmas Carol’, lies under a stone in a dark grave, whereas the real Ebenezer is a stone proclaiming the goodness of God and stands firmly above the ground. Until next time Joanna x Just the Business - A Big Green Smile Shines for Wrexham Micro Generators the Regent Offices in Wrexham. Our green energy plan has finally come to fruition. After months of demanding work, paperwork, investment and just a little waiting I finally managed to get an updated EPC (Energy Performance Certificate).
When we bought the building back in November 2012, the EPC rating as a mere G. We’ve now achieved a B (42) rating, a massive leap from the previous G, without spoiling any of the original Edwardian character, and in early 2014 voltage optimization was added to reduce our consumption even further. The certification demonstrates our desire to turn the building from an uncomfortable fridge into a cozy and comfortable ‘space to thrive’ was achieved. We did the following:
Initially, there is a lot of investment, but it is well worthwhile. The EPC is a requirement for prospective office tenants and a prerequisite for a FIT (Feed in Tariff) application. As a micro-generator of renewable energy through our solar panels, we now don’t need to buy so much electricity in. We are also contracted to buy in any surplus we need from Good Energy, a proactively renewable supplier. Smiles all around! Joanna x |
