Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 4:32PM Friday 3rd of June saw the “Best of British”, an afternoon event held in the Empress suit at the Grand Hotel Brighton
In Aid of the Chestnut Tree House, the event attracted 100`s of people from in and around the West and East Sussex area. It was a truly spectacular affair and a pleasure for us at Red-Inc to mix with some many likeminded businesses and individuals to support this great cause. With raffles, silent auctions and lots of sports memorabilia on offer there were plenty of ways to donate and give generously to the Hospice. There was comedy from Aaron James and the guest speaker was boxing legend Frank Bruno. Boxer Michael Watson was also present.
The reality of why we were all present was reiterated by a parent whose life had become somewhat more manageable with the hospice help. Additional another parent spoke to compare the difference of his life experience without such an organisation available to him when he needed it most. Both were heart wrenching accounts and further drove the message of why this is such an important charity to support.
The Chestnut Tree House is the only hospice in Sussex and cares for children and young adults from all over the country that have life-threatening or progressive life limiting illnesses.
The facilities are incredible and they offer support and facilities for the whole family. The hospice receives very little help from the government regarding funding and requires the help and support of everyone to cover its £2 million operational costs.
Here at Red-Inc office supplies Brighton we operate a charity rebate program in conjunction with our clients, whereby we make a donation based on their spend to the charity of their choice. This scheme has been running since 2009 and in this time we have donated thousands of pounds to various charities around the UK.

Red-Inc Brighton : Acumen Business Convention 2011
Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 3:55PM Brighton Dome was the chosen venue for the Acumen Business Law convention 2011.
Acumen Business Law are a Sussex based firm whose culture and ethos, like that of Red-Inc`s is to buck the trend of a fairly staid and traditional market sector. Acumen are a business specialist law firm and their mission to stand out in the legal industry is lead by scrapping the hourly rate system and operating a fixed fee-pricing model, amongst other things. They have also broken away from the aloof culture that is associated with their profession by truly being approachable, accessible and unpretentious. If anyone has ever met MD Penina Shepherd or any of the growing team you will understand that they are fulfilling this promise. The Brighton firm was listed in the Financial Times’ Top 50 Groundbreaking & Innovative Lawyers in the UK & Europe, was voted a UK Rising Star by the Observer and was a finalist for the Best Customer Service & Innovation in the recent Sussex Business Awards.
The Acumen convention attracted 150 of Brighton’s business leaders, managers and professionals. The afternoon consisted of a mix of workshops, guest speakers and a panel debate around topics such as the challenges of business in the current climate and how to motivate and incentivise staff when money is tight.
The finale was the keynote speaker Jacqueline Gold, Chief Executive of Ann Summers. With charm and grace she delivered an amazing account of her rise to success from the early days of 2 shops, to the demands and changes in business with what is now a vast enterprise totalling sales of £150 million. It is hard to believe such an individual who has encountered so many obstacles throughout this journey found the strength to keep going when it seemed everyone else wanted her to fail. Better still was her fantastic calm delivery and the way she giggled as she recalled the stories of both success and hard times. It made her human, genuine and enabled us to connect with her.
So another great success story for a Brighton Business and a few lines of feedback from delegates that attended the convention. For more information about Acumen please visit; www.acumenbusinesslaw.co.uk
“I would like to congratulate you and your team on another successful Acumen Business Convention. Your innovative blend of legal content, personal engagement with the business community combined with a radical and entertaining speaker resulted in an event that was an enjoyable and rewarding afternoon. I loved the gospel singers. You do know how to make an impact and be very different lawyers!”
“Just a quick email to congratulate you all on a great day yesterday – very professional, very slick and very relaxed – a great combination.”
“Just wanted to extend a big thanks for yesterday’s event. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, and I thought Jacqueline Gold was a brilliant choice as keynote speaker! She was fabulous! I appreciate how difficult and time consuming such events are to organise, so I wanted to say congratulations and thank you to all involved. I hope you enjoyed the occasion, as much as I did.”
Office supplies Brighton
Thursday, April 14, 2011 at 8:01AM Red-Inc are a progressive company that looks far deeper into your company than you might think necessary for “just an office supplier”.
Why? Because we believe that if we work as a partnership with you, we can save you more money. How? By looking at the bigger picture and by using our expertise to help you in the area we know and understand.
We sell far more than paper, pens and desk top stationery to our clients in Brighton in East Sussex. We offer this and a handful of associated services to clients throughout the whole of the uk. We have available to us a whole range of products that most organisations use, from paper and pens right through to janitorial, catering, furniture, print and promotional items, to name but a few.
So can we buck the trend of “not wanting to put all your eggs in one basket”? We believe so. We are a service driven organisation, we are efficient, and want to help you become efficient. You can single source from Red-Inc, reducing the need for so many vendors and reduce administration cost throughout your own business. You can consolidate your deliveries that perhaps once you received every day from different suppliers.
Red-Inc is a lean concept business formed to supply and service clients . Additionally we reward our clients with even more value added free services, like a free recycling programme to take away paper, toners, cardboard and other such waste products. How much are you spending with your recycling provider at present, and isn’t it just another vendor to deal with ?
Naturally we take the view that the more you spend, the better it is for us, and therefore the cost to serve and the margin expectations can be greatly reduced. This leaves you with peace of mind and some spare change for that very important team building end of year motivational Christmas staff lunch, that so many companies seem to be dropping during these hard time.
