Our approach to your advice:
No travel: Quite simply, we do not see the need to drive to you or for you to drive to us to get good advice. Of course, we do travel when you need us to.
A sharp suit and a large, expensive car does not necessarily mean high quality financial advice. Having more time to work for you instead of sitting behind a wheel does.
Our local approach: Green and mean? No, we are just conscious of our own carbon footprint.
- Local recruitment: We recruit locally. Every single member of staff at Need An Adviser, including the directors, lives within 1.5 miles of the office. A number of our staff walk or cycle to work. We avoid long commute journeys where possible.
- Recycle: We recycle huge amounts of paper every day, of course with the exception of important documents. We recycle all printer cartridges. We limit our letter sizes and weight to a minimum to reduce postal carriage.
- Online Reports: All our reports, research, documents are issued online, they are posted only if clients request them to me.
- Standby: Not one computer is left on standby overnight. All are turned off. Employees also job share on computers so that two are not on when only one is needed.
- A Tree A Year: For every client, we have calculated that we now save the equivalent of one tree a year in reduced paper and power take a look a Saving 24 Trees
- Heating: We 'force' our staff to wear Need An Adviser gillets and fleeces. Joking aside, the law dictates the minimum temperature of the office, but it is rare that the upper floors of our offices need any heating on. Our loft space is also lagged and boarded.
- Signs: All lightbox signage is turned off at night. We do not leave them on like many premises.
- Water supply: Our water is metered and consumption is extremely low. We have low volume consumption flush toilets. Water heating is only on for half an hour each day.
