DBF MEMBERS BENEFITS PACKAGES

At DBF, we are always trying to give our members real value and, in that spirit, we have asked our members if they would like to offer special discounts to other members. You have to be 'in it to win it' as they say. And, as a Diss Business Forum member, you can take advantage of the offers below. Keep checking, because more offers will surely be coming!


 
   
   

Articulate HLC - Marketing, PR, Web Design and Graphic Design

We have never before done ‘sale offers’ believing that the comprehensive and added-value service we give to every client is special in itself. But Articulate HLC is breaking the rules for DBF members by offering

A free marketing, branding and advertising consultation.

In addition, should you wish to take advantage of a bespoke branding package, including logo, stationery, promo card and advert, to enable you to present a seamless and integrated message to your customers and potential clients, we will give members a 15% discount.

And, if it’s a website you need to round it off, we will add that on at the same 15% off.

Only once per DBF business, please! For this special offer, contact Jenna Cox, Managing Partner
Articulate HLC - 0845 108 6256

Steeles Solicitors

We have been based in Diss for over 25 years, and our services to individuals continue to grow. We have 13 staff specialising solely in estate planning and estate administration, or personal injury and the vast majority of them are based in our Diss office at 2 Mount Street. From here, we advise clients throughout East Anglia and London.

It is very important to us that everyone makes a Will and reviews this regularly - after all we often deal with the consequences when someone dies without an up-to-date Will! Also, we appreciate the difficulties (both practical and legal) involved in managing someone else's affairs, whether after they have died or during their lifetime if they have become incapable of handling these themselves.

Separately, if you have been in an accident which is not your fault then you may be able to obtain compensation. We have a very experienced personal injury team who have dealt with claims worth over £1million pounds in the last year and can help people get back on the road to recovery. We are also experienced in advising on health and safety matters and can help if someone has brought a claim against you.

Therefore we are offering all Members and their employees a free 15 minute consultation about Wills, Probate (the administration of someone's affairs after they have died), Powers of Attorney or Personal Injury*.

If you would like to take up this offer, please contact any member of our Wills team (for Wills, Probate and Powers of Attorney) or Personal Injury team on 01379 652141, so that we can fix a convenient time to meet, and please remember to mention Diss Business Forum! At the meeting, please bring along your most recent wage slip to qualify for the free 15 minute consultation.
