Testimonials

“I have had the pleasure of working with Lara for many years.  Both at the IoD in Manchester and at Panaz.

She is dependable, loyal, hard-working and always delivers on time.  Her creativity and initiative to solving problems and generating ideas has been of great benefit to my business. I am sure that her communication skills and commercial acumen will be a great asset to companies she works with.

“After recently taking over a well established high end Ladieswear business, I approached Lara to help with the marketing, having known her for several years but never having previously worked with her professionally.

I cannot express the professionalism and sincere care for my business that has been received so far...Lara has taken time to really understand me, my sector and my clients and has so far offered great advice on how we can use new marketing strategies, and develop existing ones to help the boutique reach its full potential, focussing on ways to grow brand awareness. I would never have been aware of this, but Lara is guiding me through, and with her professional eye I now see things from a different angle.

Highly recommend Lara and can’t wait to continue our marketing journey together....”

“Fourth Floor was unbelievably helpful to me recently when I needed some accounting and administration support (Sage 50+).

As a small business, I have always been uncertain about outsourcing business support as I believed so much of the information was in my own head. Lara not only understood this, but supported me with the process in ‘downloading’ the information from not only the business, but from me. 

Lara made the process much easier than anticipated, and completed all the tasks we agreed on to an extremely high standard and within the given timescales. 

She was professional, precise, really effective and exceeded my expectations, also completing additional work to an exceptional standard. Lara was very approachable so it was a pleasure to work with her - the overriding feeling was that she just wanted to help me and my business, which is just what I needed.

 I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Fourth Floor and I will definitely use her services again. Lara gave me the confidence to know I can get help and support for my business and that I can call on this very easily!”

A friend of ours recommended Lara as we were looking for someone who could update our website. Lara has been amazing to work with, she offers a personal service, as she took the time to get to know us and our independent business. Lara is friendly and approachable and we would highly recommend her and her services!

“Lara saved my bacon when I got overwhelmed by an issue just before Christmas this year. It was great to have someone I could trust to do what needed doing with little oversight from me. I wouldn’t have hit my year-end deadlines without her!”
