Supporting Hertford Businesses
Holdings Business Advisors are situated in the county town of Hertford, and are keen to support fellow local businesses. Entrepreneurships help fuel the UK's economic innovation and prosperity, and local businesses help build strong communities by sustaining vibrant town centres. Locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.
It is because of this, Holdings has dedicated this section of our website to its fellow local businesses. If you would like to join this list, please email michael.wright@holdings.co.uk in the first instance.
R J Barnett - IT Support for Business
"Ron provides management, support and repair services for the IT and communication needs of small businesses and individuals.
Ron has no shop or office rent to support; he does not "sell" anything apart from his services, although he does keep a small stock of odd items just in case! This way his overheads are low and this is reflected in his cost to your business. Remote services are also available, making many jobs simple and cost effective.
For further information, please follow his website link above."
