Just imagine . . . Burgh House Limited

What we do: In brief, Burgh House Limited provides support and assistance to organisations on, or trading with, St. Helena, including all types of private-sector business, government departments and other types of organisation. Please explore this website to learn more. If you have any questions or wish to discuss how we can help you please contact us.

Objectives

Burgh House Limited was created to provide business solutions to support economic growth, using the combined skills and expertise of its founders. Some of the main services it offers are described here. It commenced operations on 7^th February 2007. The founding directors are Catherine Turner and John Turner, whose photographs appear below.

St. Helena

The island of St. Helena has an emerging private sector, which is expected to grow through internal development and inward investment. Burgh House Limited supports businesses in achieving that growth.

Burgh House Limited will also work with governmental and quasi-governmental organisations that address issues of policy affecting private sector businesses, and with other organisations in projects related to bringing about economic growth in St. Helena.

Burgh House Limited is also keen to work with overseas companies considering business investment in St. Helena, making available its local knowledge and a local point of presence. Look here for more on this topic.

Worldwide

Burgh House Limited is interested to hear from organisations wishing to gain access to its skills and expertise in business development for projects outside St. Helena.

International Links

We have over fifty years' combined experience in dealing with a wide variety of business issues, working with organisations large and small in many parts of the world. Our clients benefit from our global experience combined with our local knowledge. And to help us stay current we maintain links with similar firms elsewhere in the world.

St. Helena is a small island, not just geographically but also in the range of business activities here. But despite its physical isolation it remains part of the wider world. Businesses on St. Helena cannot ignore what happens outside the island, as the fuel price changes in 2008 amply demonstrated. To ensure that we can provide our clients with the best possible assistance we maintain links and share experiences with firms elsewhere in the world, whose different views on issues can help inform our work here. And the perspective of St. Helena can be useful elsewhere. In business it can sometimes be easier to see the underlying issues in a situation that is smaller and less complex.

Please go here to see the list of International Links.

Please note that we do not pass any information to other firms that could identify clients or reveal any of their business secrets.

International links to benefit our clients

Just imagine . . .

In our experience, most businesses are capable of more than they actually achieve, and in many cases this is simply because their leaders allow their vision to become contrained. We encourage our clients to free their imaginations and consider the previously unconsidered. Just imagine . . . says just that.

Free your mind and travel wherever your imagination takes you with your business ideas, then contact us to help you make your dreams a reality.
