Monday was Amelia
Williamson's first day working for Bucklebury and Brandywine, but with no
official office as yet she reported for work at 9am prompt at Cliff Haven, and
Molly had set up in the conservatory while Danny had gone off to Beacon Farm to
do man stuff with George.
Amelia couldn’t do any actual
property management because the company didn’t actually have any properties to
manage until the following Monday, so day one was about setting up.
As part of the interview
Molly had asked her what her preference was regarding a laptop and following
that when she was at the Bramstock,
Goodman, Crossfield, and Bushe solicitor’s offices she met with Clive Crossfield
who handled her affairs and tasked him with acquiring the make and model Amelia
specified.
Following that she dealt with
Amelia directly via email and teams to establish her software requirement and
the upshot of that was the laptop that Molly presented her with in a backpack,
also of her choice.
So next on the agenda was a
team’s meeting with Clive on Amelia’s machine, where they discussed setting up
a new business from scratch.
“Firstly we need a logo”
Clive said, “Any thoughts?”
“Well I did have an idea”
Amelia said and shared an image off her google account, which was of two
capital letter B’s facing each other with a small ampersand, the first B had
the blue and gold of the Beaumont island flag and the second one had the red
and white of the St Georges cross, and in between the two, in the upper half
was a silver ampersand.
“The colours are optional”
“I love the design” Molly
said “But I think if you have one blue and the other gold, it will look less
like a sports badge”
“Like this you mean?” she
said, and a new image appeared as described by Molly
“That was sneaky” Molly said
and chuckled
“What do you think Clive?”
“I think that’s the one” he
agreed
“Ok, so the letter head would
look something like this” she said and showed another image “Obviously the
address and postcode still need to be confirmed”
“I should have that by the
end of the week” Clive said
“That’s good news” Amelia
replied “I can start drafting the letters to the tenants, and I can have them
for your approval by Friday”
“No need” Molly retorted “I
can see already that I am redundant, you don’t need my approval, you manage the
business and Clive has financial overview”
“So you don’t need me to
report to you?” Amelia asked
“No you’re in charge” Molly
said “Now you two carry on and I’ll get lunch sorted”
With their “Friday” in place
and working well with Clive, Molly and Danny concentrated on pleasure for the
rest of the week and enjoying the calm before the storm.
As the weather was in the
main benign, they spent the mornings exploring parts of the island which they
hadn’t visited yet.
In the afternoons they
divided their time equally between watching movies and canoodling.
They wanted to make the most
of their time because they were playing host to three of the Archer clan for
the weekend.
