Task 2: Management of resources
For the following report I have chosen to use "Hugh James Solicitors" a how a manager of a company would manage their resources. "Hugh James Solicitors" are a law firm based in Cardiff and have offices throughout South Wales; they have two offices in Cardiff, one in Merthyr Tydfil, and one in Port Talbot and one in Treharris. They were established in 1960. They have 45 partners and over 500 fee earners and staff working in their network of offices.
The main business aim is to offer the best financial services to both South Wales and the rest of the UK. Their objectives are to expand outside of South Wales after recently winning the Large Welsh Law Firm of the Year award at the Western Mail's Welsh Law Awards. They shall work towards this by launching a new business centre in the New Year. They are also aiming to get a bigger piece of the legal market and are hoping the above will help them do so. Developing more interactive qualities on their website is also planned although you can already follow the progress of things such as re-mortgages online.
A list of resources managers utilise to achieve the organisations objectives.
