The new facility includes engineering spaces for maintaining the company’s 106 vehicles, LED lighting and their wireless vehicle platforms. Staff have designated office space, and the premises is powered by wood chip biomass fuel. 

 

Adrian de Courcey, chief executive of Travel de Courcey, said: "We had outgrown our previous building and started to look at other sites but we realised it made sense to stay where we were because it is a perfect location for the majority of our work.

 

"Part of the depot had a 99-year lease and the other part had a 12-year lease so it didn’t make sense to invest £3m when we only had 12 years remaining on part of our lease.

 

"We got in touch with the Growth Hub to explain our problem and they were fantastic.

 

"They contacted Geoffrey Robinson, who has always been supportive of business development in Coventry, and he spoke to Martin Yardley which led to a meeting with Coventry City Council.”

Moving into brand new premises is a time to congratulate yourself for your success, but it is also the time, particularly if you intend to expand your staff roster in the future, to double-check that your existing systems can handle the increase. 

 

Since it’s what we’re good at, we’ll talk about your time and attendance management system – the way that you record employee attendance and hours. Obviously this kind of a system is useful in waged roles, and if your premises is production or retail based, you likely already have some kind of system to measure these factors. 

 

However, we believe passionately that time and attendance systems have their place in an office environment too. You might not need to know office staff hours to the minute, but our software and colourful graphical displays make it easy to record when they are late or ill, and to spot if there are any concerning patterns in their absences. 

 

The WinTA.NET software also sends you useful alerts, such as if your team are exceptionally busy and risk breaching the European Working Time Regulations, or if someone is accidentally violating the minimum wage regulation.

 

Having your own purpose-built premises means that you can easily install physical clocking terminals in order to accurately measure your time and attendance. Our clocking terminals work either with employee fingerprints, or with contactless radio-frequency smartcards.
