The low
down on Lonsdale
It's
nearly a month since we opened our doors at Lonsdale Street, Melbourne,
and for those of you that were able to join us at the opening night, we
trust you enjoyed it as much as we did! Opening our Melbourne site was an
important milestone, both in servicing an important business travel route,
and to extend our service offering for existing members. We look forward
to continued growth!


Fast
Fact > Did you know your membership entitles you to use
both Bureaux sites? We look forward to seeing you there on your next
trip.

Strategic
Alliance with American Express
The Melbourne opening was also an opportunity to
announce a strategic partnership with American Express Small Business
Services in Australia. We see the alliance as a positive alignment
between two companies servicing the small business community, and we look
forward to developing the relationship further. Thanks to Raj Ray, Head
of Small Business Services at American Express, for helping us open the
new site.

Quick
Note > A full press release of the strategic alliance
can be found on the news section of our website.

Bureaux.com
After negotiating with a company in the US, we are happy to
announce that you can now also reach our website through bureaux.com.
Look out for some great improvements over the coming months, with
increased functionality and more information for our members.

Variety Bush Bash
Some of our more intrepid members of staff got
involved with the 2006 Variety Newcastle NRMA Insurance Bash recently.
Variety is a children's Charity',
raising money for sick, disabled and disadvantaged children, so Bureaux
jumped at the chance to sponsor the 'Wallopers', a specially adapted 1964
EH Holden sedan police car!
What is it they say ..... you can take the girl out
of the city, but you
can't take the city out of
the girl? We have it on good authority that Rachel Bennett and Aisha
Arnaout did, in fact, cope extremely well with the dirt, speed and lack
of creature comforts!
During the event, Ian Trevallion donated AUD$2,500,
on behalf of Bureaux, to a public school in his hometown
of Gunnedah.

The Breakfast Club (West End Business Association)
Bureaux recently sponsored a breakfast briefing on
28th June in Melbourne, hosted by the West End Business Association.
Established 10 years ago, the association represents local business
interests in Melbourne, consisting of local and metropolitan companies, a
large variety of SME firms and various institutions and corporate
identities.
The guest speaker was Rod Young, Executive Director
of DC Strategy (formerly Deacons Consulting), who delivered a speech on
the topic 'How to capitalise on Business
Networks'. Bureaux look forward to being involved with more local
business initiatives in the future.

Franchise Opportunities
Lastly, Bureaux are currently working with DC Strategy in developing a
franchise model for the business. By introducing a franchise, we are able
to grow the business across the globe, which provides our members with an
unrivalled, international services in the heart of the city, no matter
where that city is! Whilst we are in preliminary stages, the opportunity
will be available soon. Expressions of interest are welcomed.
