Some comments on our services and support that clients have been kind enough to offer include these:
Great place this. And not too many people understand just why it's so great. Not only is this owner-managed centre more responsive, more flexible, more supportive, more 'there' for you than, say, some multi-national centre, but also you get to be both independent and part of a community–a community of other independent business people, who can often become friends, colleagues, and even partners in some new enterprise. 'Offices in the Marine Building' is that beautiful, supportive environment in which you can fly.

University Administrator and Researcher
I am a million times more productive in this office, because it has good feng shui. The view of the Vancouver harbour and Stanley Park from my office is breathtaking and inspires me . I am so glad I found this place.
- Laverne Procyk, Publisher/Editor, Westcoast Winds Magazine
I welcomed the nice change from a multi national business centre to an owner operated one. Decisions were simpler, negotiations friendlier, the sense of community greater and the staff turnover much less. I have enjoyed my time here in the Marine Building and only wish I had made the move down the street sooner.

'OIMB' has been a great place from which to base our BC operations over the past four years. 'OIMB' has all we need-professional, secure, well-kept and friendly.
- Matt Kennedy, Canadian Hydro Developers
'Offices in the Marine Building' is the perfect place for a growing business. Prior to this we had our own office and we spent a significant amount of our resources on cleaning, reception, water, security and printing. Now we don't have to worry about any of those things. The best part is that 'OIMB' allows us to grow at our own pace. When we need extra space we ask for it; when we need more resources, we ask for them-and we only pay for those resources when we are using them. A wise business person once told me 'be patient for growth and impatient for profit'. Being in 'OIMB' allows us to live this mantra.

Evolve Investment Group Inc.
We started out here on a 'temporary' basis more than two years ago and here we are still! The staff, the service, the understanding and accommodating all our needs has been extemporary and we are delighted to still be here and still feel like members of the family.

Integro Insurance Brokers
I stayed there a year before moving on to a different venture. I found the office complex wonderful. The staff provided very good and reliable support services, even after formal business hours when necessary-most useful to my schedule. The office atmosphere, relaxed but professional, was very conducive to working. I also feel as if the other tenants are all friends of mine now.
- Peter Stockholder, Lawyer
I chose 'OIMB' as my company's address plan provider because of the personal attention I received there by the owner and her staff during my initial market-research visits. Nowhere else was I treated as if my relatively minor requirements were as important to them as they were to me.

Cynthia Sugar Communications
The entire operation from the receptionists to the administrative services personnel is very professional, and they take care of everything for you, which makes what I do a whole lot easier. I strongly recommend the concept of the executive suite. It's very affordable, and this type of environment leads to greater productivity and success. Not only that, there are good opportunities to do business with the other tenants.

If you are an image-conscious business owner, you will want to seek out Hardy Bunn, because her company creates an atmosphere of discreet informality, combined with professionalism, for you and your business to share. 'Offices in the Marine Building' is situated in the central location where your clients are–or where they expect you to be.
- John Brown, Mediator/Consultant
We have a prestigious address, friendly receptionists and access to all the business equipment we need, all for a simple, easy-to-pay monthly fee. In other words, we have all the pluses of a fully serviced office without any of the headaches. We are free to run our business, to call on our clients and prospects and have them visit us here.
- Roland Hanselmann, President, Dunhill International Communications Corp.
