HARTHAM Park, near Corsham, has launched a virtual office service to help new companies start off in style.

The Alkemi Virtual Office is a business service that provides firms with an answering and fax service alongside the use of a prestigious business address.

The Alkemi service operates in normal office hours while the customer works from a remote location.

The service is geared to new businesses that want a professional image and someone to manage their calls and post.

A dedicated telephone number will be allocated to the business and answered in that company's name by a professional receptionist. All calls are then transferred to the company staff wherever they are.

A fax number will also be allocated to the business as well as a mail forwarding and holding service.

The service means that new businesses can avoid the set up costs of running an office whilst still maintaining a professional image.

Message retrieval can also be offered from anywhere in the world.

Anyone interested in the service should call Roz Golding (01249) 700649.
