The plan is to transform a site near Maesbury Road Junction into a 3-storey premises with a landscaped area full of flora and fauna. The premises will include warehouse facilities, offices, and a training centre and auditorium.

 

Aico has been at its current site in the Mile End Business Park for more than 20 years, and now needs to accommodate the growing demand for their services. 

 

Neal Hooper, managing director of Aico, said, "After being at our current premises for over 20 years and having undergone two extensions to our Centre of Excellence, we have outgrown our current space.

 

"We are excited that our new bigger site will not only allow us to grow as a business, but this growth will also bring new job opportunities to the local community of Oswestry."

 

Aico currently employs 34 office and warehouse staff, 21 field-based staff and recently took on four apprentices.

Moving into a new, large building is an exciting time for any staff body, especially when there is a beautiful garden area to enjoy. However, bearing in mind that they are also dealing with an uptake in business, it is vital that they have a way to keep track of visitors coming and going throughout all the new areas. 

 

Time and Attendance Midlands can offer our Management of Contractors and Visitors Software to help everyone be in the right place at the right time. This network-based application allows you to advance book visitor appointments and pre-book on site contractors. 

 

These bookings can be made either via the PC based application or a user’s Internet browser. As soon as an appointment is booked, notification emails are sent to both the visitor and their host informing them of the appointment’s date, time and location.

 

If there is no reception area in your workspace, or if there is not a designated receptionist, we can also offer you the Self-Service Visitor Management App, which enables visitors to check themselves in for appointments using a touchscreen. This can send an email directly to the person who will be hosting them. Using the app instead of a receptionist can save you money and free up staff to be more productive elsewhere. 

 

If the appointment is for a visitor or contractor who needs to go around alone, MCVS provides a Welfare Check page to set up welfare notification reminders. These reminders (an on screen popup or an email) prompt the host to perform a safety check on the lone worker.

 

This means that you are kept up to date and there can be no ambiguity about location. A history of these welfare checks, along with full details of the visitor entry and exit times, is also recorded for audit purposes.
