A business centre has been launched in the Mansfield branch of Currys PC World — one of nine across the country.

It will provide dedicated professional advisers to offer strategic guidance and update business customers on the newest products and deals.

A spokesman said: “From SME owners and home-office workers through to landlords and education professionals, the centre will cater for organisations from multiple sectors and sizes from across the region.”

Open from 9am to 5pm, the centre will be able to advise on a range of issues, including security, employee mobility, remote working and the latest devices.

The spokesman added: “Such expertise will be particularly beneficial for SME owners looking to establish a digital-first set-up.

“And with 85 per cent of SME owners now using smartphones to improve productivity, SMEs that have not yet invested are in danger of losing out to the competition.

“To this end, the trained business centre staff will offer a one-stop shop for SME mobile needs, providing guidance on everything from the latest models to the most suitable upgrade for their existing mobile contract.”

John Dennington-Weaver, business customer manager. said: “It’s not just about having the right technology but knowing how to use it intelligently — something that rings true for businesses of all sizes.

“Whether it is introducing new systems, making the most of connected technology or finding the best mobile tariff, our business advisers are ideally placed to support the local area’s technology needs.”

Jim O’Hagan, B2B development director, added: “Our specially-trained advisers will be providing bespoke answers to specific business technology problems, enabling SME owners to get the tips they have been seeking to help their businesses grow.”
