Pikki Street Corporate Centre
anna oliver Anna Oliver, owner of Pikki Street serviced offices says, “A serviced office is an office that can be rented on a casual or monthly basis and includes a receptionist, furniture, electricity and other extras. Once I describe our services, people understand and are quite surprised that this service has been available in the area for seven years. “Research shows us that a high majority of Australians, especially Sunshine Coast residents, work from home,” Anna explains. “Our virtual telephone answering service takes the home business to the next step. Our clients can divert their mobiles or home numbers to a dedicated line at Pikki Street Corporate Centre when they are in a meeting or simply doing paperwork. We can answer their phone in their company name. We can make appointments for them, do quotes, typing, collect their mail and they can even meet their clients in one of our meeting rooms. “This service offers clients a professional presence for their business for the cost of a couple of coffees per day.” Phone 5452 9800 www.pikkistreet.com

PHOENIX MEMORIALS
SUE MCLEISH Families are becoming more involved in organising their loved one’s funeral and more thought is going into how they would like them to be remembered for generations, seeking beautiful creations that represent the life their loved one lived. Phoenix Memorials has taken this one step further, producing diamonds from human / pets ashes and hair. A very special heirloom for generations. Not everyone can afford a diamond this is why Phoenix Memorials also creates other stunning pieces not normally seen in the memorial industry – lead crystal wind chimes, heart-shaped orbs, unique stirling silver bracelets and the latest stainless steel / silicon design for men. Customdesigned resin pendants with the ashes and symbolic features are also popular. The company’s latest product is designed to help teenagers grieve for the loss their mate. The R.I.P bands are made of silicon and have a full colour image and inscription printed on the band. R.I.P bands are delivered in time for the funeral. Individual images and inscriptions are all part of the service Phoenix Memorials provides to families. “We are passionate about our products and helping families in their grieving process”, says Sue. www.phoenixmemorials.com.au www.ripbands.com.au | 0407 276 248 sue@phoenixmemorials.com.au
