Midlands Enterprise Awards 2021

Midlands Enterprise Awards 2021 | 11 Cygnul Limited arrived who hasn’t booked, and we need to find overflow accommodation and catering for her.” Obviously, workload fluctuates throughout the year depending on what campaigns or events are being run, and by taking the time to understand an organisation, Cygnul can match its staffing levels to suit the association’s rhythm. It can also help to review systems and processes and will often be able to suggest efficiency improvements and more effective ways of working. Cygnul understands that running an association isn’t easy and it is a fact of life that as an organisation grows to help more people there will be more administration to deal with. Lots of organisations, particularly those run by volunteers, do not want to employ and manage a team, plus recruiting and training can be time-consuming (not to mention expensive!) Then there is the headache of delegating effectively, managing performance, holidays and absence, not to mention keeping up to date with employment legislation. Having a trusted partner who understands the not for profit sector can be priceless as someone to rely on to help understand members and meet deadlines, so that heads of organisations can concentrate on the important things such as growing the association and helping people. Cygnul is always available for a friendly chat or, if there is a particular problem that needs addressing, a longer call can be scheduled to ensure that the right help is provided. “It doesn’t matter whether you run a small sports club, a large membership association or a growing not for profit, there comes a point where the organisation needs more time than you can give it,” Kirstie says. Her enthusiasm for her role and for helping people has helped to see Cygnul crowned Best Nationwide Memberships & Not For Profit Office Outsourcing Business 2021 in the SME News Midlands Enterprise Awards. It’s clear to see why Cygnul has excelled with Kirstie at the helm, and the firm has a long- standing relationship with many organisations who have enjoyed success through using its services.
