On a Friday I am lucky enough to have a client base in Aston Clinton that I can visit. It has been a welcome escape over 2020 to be able to visit clients over there, as they are all working through the pandemic and I can meet with one or two each week to get their paperwork.
My clients tend to be business owners working outdoors away from an office environment and so it has thankfully been possible for them to keep trading. I of course didn’t know that taking on clients in the contruction industry and rural economy would be such an asset to my own business but thankfully the landscape gardening, hedge cutting and driving work has been able to continue and my role along with it (behind the scenes of course).
I do some social media work for the Aston Clinton based clients and it is lovely that they are all so supportive of one another’s business ventures. If I post an update on one of their pages, all their local contacts like and share the post straight away. When ‘community’ sometimes seems thin on the ground it is really lovely to see this support for local businesses.
Fingers crossed 2021 will be easier for small businesses and I will still be able to meet up with the clients over in Aston Clinton each Friday evening.
