This month saw the launch of a new player in the transcription services market.
PageSix Transcription Solutions specialise in working with corporate clients, PR
firms and creative agencies producing highly accurate transcripts from
meetings, focus groups, presentations and other events.
PageSix have developed a business model which encourages their resource of
experienced UK-based transcribers to work solely form home. Company
spokesman Barry Rousell says ’Better technology and the rapid roll out of
Broadband Internet access has allowed working professionals to be based
solely from home. Research has proven that people who can adjust to the
difference of working from home and can remain focused outside of the office
environment can actually become even more productive. The flexibility and
benefits for the employee can also be extremely appealing’.
From a business perspective PageSix are committed to delivering a fast,
accurate and high quality transcription for their clients and actively encourage
flexible working hours as well as a paper free environment. ’The savings made
on, for instance, a larger premises and office facilities ensure that we can focus
on excelling at the core parts of our business, operational delivery, accessibility
and quality.
The management team at PageSix have over a decade of combined experience
of the transcription sector and fully believe in this business model. ‘The model
has also meant that the savings have been passed onto our client base and
we’re now providing market leading transcription at an extremely competitive
rate’.
Last year approximately 2.4 million people worked mainly from home using
Broadband technology to carry out their work. Most home-based workers (1.8
million) work mainly in different places using their home as a base.
The total number of people working from home in the UK has increased by 1.5
million (more than 150 per cent) since 1997. Some 8 per cent of the workforce
were Teleworkers in spring 2005, compared with just 4 per cent in spring 1997.
Researchers predict that the number of Teleworkers could reach 5million in the
UK by the close of 2007. (Source - The Office of National Statistics - ISSN: 1361-4819).
