Pet&r offers a wide range of HR and training services but we are conscious that sometimes all someone wants is some practical and simple advice on particular areas which they can refer to when required. To this end we have developed the Practical Simplicity Guide to... series of resources. These are available to purchase as PDF downloads, which you can save to your computer, and cover a wide range of topics such as starting your own business, policy development and corporate social responsibility.
The list will be added to in response to customer feedback so keep checking the website for new titles. Also, if there is a topic you would like to see why not let us know and we will see what we can do.
The guides are copyrighted and are for the use of the initial recipient only. Copying of the guides, in any form, for use by someone other than the initial recipient is strictly prohibited.

These days there always seems to be some event or other going on from team meetings to professional conferences. As a participant in these events everything, hopefully, runs like clockwork and looks simple, and that is how it should look, but the reality is very different. It is like the swan, smooth and serene as it glides on the surface of the lake, but paddling like mad underwater.
This guide is designed to help people who are new to event organisation through the processes needed to make your event successful. The guide covers the basics common to all types of events from choosing a venue to deciding on room layout and paperwork. The guide then goes on to look at specific event types in more detail starting with simple meetings and progressing through exhibitions to outdoor events and conferences. The guide gives practical suggestions of things to consider when organising the different events , based on our own experience of events we have organised in the past.
