The Problem

using an unprofessional free email address (like @gmail.com) and struggling to share calendars and documents with your team.

What I Do

a professional Microsoft 365 setup for custom email addresses (e.g., you@yourcompany.co.uk), shared calendars, and secure cloud storage.

How This Plays Out in Brighton

If you're managing a competitive trades business from Hanover to Hollingbury, shared calendars and a proper business email stop communication chaos. Moving from personal Gmail to you@yourbusiness.co.uk takes minutes and signals professionalism to every customer. I handle the full setup—migrating your existing emails, configuring shared calendars so your team stays coordinated, and putting OneDrive in place so files aren't scattered across three laptops. Once live, enquiries land in one place, schedules sync across devices, and you look like an established business, not a solo operation pretending to be bigger.

Your Questions, Answered

Do I need shared email if I'm still a one-person business?

Absolutely. Most tradespeople in Brighton quickly grow to two people: you plus someone handling admin or site support. By then, a shared enquiry inbox saves hours a week. Starting with professional email means you're ready from day one when you hire help.

Can you migrate my existing email without losing messages?

Yes. Full migration is standard. I copy every message, folder, contact, and calendar entry across. You keep your entire email history; only the address at the end changes.

Can you set up shared inboxes for enquiries?

Yes. A shared address like enquiries@yourcompany.co.uk lets multiple people see and respond to customer emails without forwarding chains. Ideal if you've got someone handling admin alongside the on-the-tools work.

Will my team be able to share calendars and documents?

Yes. Microsoft 365 includes shared calendars, Teams for messaging, and OneDrive for cloud storage. Everyone stays in sync without email chaos or lost attachments.

How much does Microsoft 365 cost?

Microsoft 365 Business Basic starts from around £4.50 per user per month. I handle the setup and migration; you just pay Microsoft's subscription directly.

How Many Leads Is Your Website Losing You?

Most trades websites quietly leak leads every week: slow load, buried phone number, missing local pages. Answer 10 quick questions and I'll show you exactly where yours is bleeding, how many enquiries it could be costing you each month, and the three fixes that would make the biggest difference.
