Thinking of moving offices… or even going 100% remote?
Has hybrid and remote working left you and your team rattling around an office that’s too big?
If you’re now in the position of overspending on rent, utilities and cleaning, you might be thinking about downsizing to another location – or even abandoning the office completely.

Moves are always stressful, and relocating your IT systems takes a bit more thought than manhandling a desk up the stairs.
So here are our top three suggestions to make it easier to shift your IT setup to a new location.
- Use a checklist
- Give your internet provider notice
- Use a professional
If you’re thinking about a move to new premises and need help planning for it, we can help… get in touch.

Technology Update
Are you asking ChatGPT the wrong questions?
ChatGPT is incredible, but it still has its limitations. If you find it frustrating and inaccurate, it’s quite likely you’re doing it wrong. Here’s how to get the best out of it…
- Be specific - A basic question will generate a basic answer. The more specific your question, the more likely it is to create a good answer.
- Give it context - For instance, if you’re asking it to review an email, tell it whose perspective it’s reading it from – an employee, a frustrated client, and so on.
- Watch your language - It can cope with a few typos and a little slang, but too much and you won’t get the great responses you want.
Tech facts
- The Surface Web (the internet visible to search engines) only accounts for 10% of the internet. The rest lives in the Deep Web – where pages aren’t indexed, or are encrypted, password protected or behind a paywall. This is normal, legal and very different to the Dark Web… where criminals do business.
- One of iTunes’ terms and conditions states that you are not to use their devices to create “…nuclear, missile, chemical or biological weapons”.
- Only 4.5 billion people around the world have a working toilet. More than 6 billion people have a cell phone.
