May the 4th be with you..
Enough. (its actually May the `14th 2021)
Its been a tough year (and a bit) for everyone and the world has changed in so many ways but as we approach May the 17th there is a new hope for some kind of new normal and personally I cant wait.
Throughout the Pandemic I have done a weekly update to friends on my facebook account using the ONS figures relating to weekly deaths and its been a sobering realisation of what really happened and is happening.
Savigar Services Ltd is still open for business. I’ve done as much as I can to keep up to speed with events in the Revenues & Benefit world through IRRV and conversations with colleagues and I have had the unfortunate learning curve of dealing with all of the services involved with Homelessness, Domestic Violence and Alcohol addiction (Not me but someone close to me!!) and if anything it has highlighted my awareness of the lack of co-ordination in support, the lack of systems thinking in the approach to problem resolution and tension and stress between various organisations, all of which detract from providing a service to the victim.
I’ve also witnessed the disconnect in debt recovery, in particular with the private sector in relation to things like car finance and mobile phones. These faceless businesses are impossible to contact and deal with cases such as domestic violence.
I have to say that the best organisation through this experience has been Universal Credits, much as it pains me to say they have been very helpful, understanding and empathetic.
The organisation that appears to be in crisis is Housing Services, in Cornwall they are under immense pressure and they have retreated into a defensive culture and are just creating work for themselves.
I am really keen to get back to helping organisations improve performance and most importantly deliver services to the customers purpose. If your organisation could use my support please get in touch, my rates are reasonable and I’m happy to travel if required.

If your not in the market for Savigar Services Ltd, then how about taking a look at my new business which is building upon my hobby of photography.
www.iansavigarphotography.uk is a business I have set up recently. It has limited stock at the moment which I hope to build upon. Through my site you can purchase good quality A3 prints or a selection of unique greeting cards. All customers on my site to-date have been very happy with the product and I’m sure you will be too.
Developing this site and business has also opened my eyes to the challenges facing small business and I am extremely grateful to the government and Cornwall Council for enabling me to claim a small grant to help me through the pandemic.
With my past and present experiences I am ready to once again offer my services and would welcome any feedback.
Oh and remember, even in this brave new world. Hands, Face, Space… We don’t want to go back and its a simple process.
