Kendlebell have over 20 offices throughout the UK and one in Ireland. We are the single largest provider of Personal Telephone Answering services in the UK. Indeed the key to our success is the highly PERSONAL level of service that we provide. Our competitors are typically Call Centres so they accommodate all their staff in one building. The more clients they get the harder it becomes for them to continue to provide each and every one of their clients with the same personal level of service that we do. Kendlebell overcome this problem by setting up small offices where the atmosphere is more friendly and the staff have an opportunity to get to know you. The more successful we are the more offices we open and therefore we will always be able to allocate a team of just two or three PA's to look after you.
The days of working in a cramped cubicle are over for many people in today’s mobile work world. That has led to a rise of coworking spaces that allow for environments that are collaborative, inspiring, and stimulating.
By 2020, The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates 65 million Americans will be freelancers, temps, independent contractors, or entrepreneurs, making up a full 40% of the workforce. Venture X provides an attractive opportunity for those workers who want to benefit from a rich work community.
Like other “sharing” industries, Venture X franchisees simply provide the modern workspace and members buy private memberships, giving them access to open areas or private offices, whichever they prefer.
Many business models today are built on this collaborative model including transportation and vacation destination sharing. Venture X is at the forefront of this growing trend. Venture X’s unique combination of open space mixed with higher revenue private offices allows for higher income opportunities. Additional revenue can be generated from event hosting to further increase the bottom line of each location.
