Changes

As many of you know Best Friend Errand Service has seen some recent changes. At the end of last year my partner and best friend, Sue Packard, made a decision to leave the business. That was a big change and one that was not taken lightly by either of us. We had been together in this from the start and I was afraid, but excited to be a sole owner.

Another big change was the addition of my first corporate client and employees. Last spring I had a brief conversation with a company that was putting together a proposal for a corporate client. Their services covered the telephonic side of the proposal, but the corporate client wanted on-site concierge service too. That initial conversation led to many more conversations and a lot of waiting and eventually a chance for us to combine our services to give the people what they wanted! So, as of January 2008, Best Friend Business Service is managing the on-site concierge program for the 7000+ employees of the Kettering Health Network. Kettering currently has four hospitals in the Dayton area we have office space at Kettering Hospital and Grandview Hospital . I have a combined staff of on-site concierge and the errand runners that work together to help the hospital provide some much needed assistance for their busy staff.

I look forward to sharing more with you about our adventures in this new world.

Cheryl Clayborn

Cheryl Clayborn answered an ad I placed on Craigslist a while ago about a corporate concierge position. Little did she know, the job was not yet a definite and I had no real intentions of hiring anyone who answered the ad. It was just practice for the real thing. Cheryl just seemed like the right person and she was willing to stand by as I waited for takeoff.

As one of the on-site concierge at Kettering Hospital , Cheryl's had her hands full helping us launch this program. She has been busy setting up the office and working with vendors who help us provide many services for the staff at Kettering . When you walk in the office you can see she is ready to handle any request that comes her way

When she's not working, she is chasing after her 12-year-old daughter, Maura, who is in her first year of middle school. She also has a grown son, Adam, who works and goes to school at Sinclair and a 24-year-old daughter, Christina who lives in Orlando , Florida and is getting married this spring. It will be a big day for her family because they are all in the wedding.
