Life has never been running at such a break-neck speed as it is today. I’m surprised you’ve got time to read this. I’m surprised I’ve got time to *write* this. Internet, apps, latest news, ‘being the first’ culture, hashtags and instantaneous media are only encouraging us to move faster and enhance our productivity to a super-human level. So it’s only fitting that a solution to commuting, freelancing and start-up businesses would have peaked on the horizon. That solution is hot-desking. We offer hot-desk spaces to everybody who requires one, and with locations across the country and recently it’s become easy to transport your entire business with you wherever you go. Think you’re excluded from the ‘hot-desk’ club? Definitely not. Every day provides a brand new way to utilise your hot-desk.…

Exciting update for Rushcliffe Technology and Enterprise Centre under development (RTEC) (pictures)

Nottingham, Parking, Rushcliffe, Rushcliffe Technology and Enterprise Centre, serviced office space, TechCityNotts
Exeid and Rushcliffe Borough Council are excited to announce that renovations of the Rushcliffe Technology and Enterprise Centre (RTEC) have officially started. Today, we ventured down to West Bridgford to take a first look at the skeleton of what will become a 12,000 sq.ft centre of excellence for developing businesses of all sizes. Donning fluorescent Exeid jackets, we entered the site with camera in hand, to capture the first moments of this project’s new life. The interior which had made up the previous office had been ripped out, leaving the bare structure, upon which to build new serviced offices. From first impression, it was easy to see that the space was long overdue for updating, with seventies office furniture all ready to be discarded, and pale pink paint on every wall. There…

Facilities Manager at Exeid.com, Ray Simpson, Shows us the Fruits of his Labour…Literally!

19 Castle Gate, Exeid News, Nottingham, Parking, Stanford House
When Ray Simpson joined the Exeid Group as Facilities Manager, he didn’t expect the creation of a micro, organic garden to be in his job description. “When I met the CEO of Exeid, David Ajose, at my initial interview, he explained how he had always intended to convert the car park at Stanford house, a beautiful, Georgian, listed mansion, back into a garden in order to re-introduce a small piece of the countryside to the heart of the city” "Unfortunately, this idea had been put on the back burner whilst he focused on growing the business with MD Richard Priestley.  The idea struck a chord with Ray and he decided to take action. With help from Exeid Maintenance Apprentice Lee Sanders, Ray built a plant trough that would be both…

Workplace Parking Levy – ‘Small businesses and how the workplace parking levy will affect you.’

Commercial Property, Exeid News, Nottingham, Parking
Some of you may have noticed recently Nottingham City Council quietly slip a leaflet on the Workplace Parking Levy through your letter box. The unpopular scheme is an attempt by the Council to create funding for an extension to the existing tram system, the redevelopment of Nottingham Railway Station and supporting the Link bus network. The leaflet is aimed at employers who provide 10 or fewer workplace parking places, although these businesses/organisations will be required to apply for a license, they will receive a 100% discount from the charge. Those employers who provide 11 or more workplace parking places will be required to pay the charge for all of their parking spaces from the 1st April 2012, but importantly they must have a license by 1st October 2011. The leaflet…

NHS move into St Nicholas Court under Barbara Henson’s Supervision.

[caption id="attachment_412" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="St Nicholas Court"][/caption] Following the recent Government spending review the NHS have been ordered to reorganise and streamline their services  and find space for the NHS 'Rethink Project', Nottinghamshire Healthcare have been looking for a new site that met these  new requirements. The space needed to be  DDA compliant, modern and comfortable office space, whilst remaining within the financial budgetary restraints set by the review. A tall order  you might think, not with Exeid’s experience. In difficult economic  times many organisations  tend to migrate to the suburbs in a bid save on property prices, however, with travel economics as they are today there really isn’t much to be gained in this aproach.  In addition, organisations need to take into account the fact that the city centre  is the…

What is a hot desk and what is hot desking all about?

Exeid News, Nottingham, Office space, Parking, Stanford House
The term Hot Desking is quoted by work place researchers as deriving from a term first coined by the US Navy - hot racking. This was the practice where the sailors on different shifts would share bunks. In the financial boom of the late 1980s when office rental costs and land prices in major financial centres went through the roof, the phrase - Hot Desking, became common place where workers shared desk space or terminals. Also in the financial markets when new computer systems were introduced these ‘seats’ would be occupied around the clock by different groups of traders following the global markets.  [caption id="attachment_8" align="alignright" width="150" caption="meeting room at 20 Fletcher Gate"][/caption]   Cost saving is an obvious motivation but these days hot desking provides an ideal opportunity for freelancers and…

Parking Leicester avoids the work place parking Levy

Exeid News, Leicester, Parking
PARKING LEICESTER - Contract parking in Leicester can be a sore subject but surprisingly Leicester is much better serviced than its near neighbour and rival, Nottingham  in this regard. Unlike in Nottingham, businesses and employees in Leicester are not likely to be squeezed by the taxman via the Work Place Parking Levy,  well not for the moment that is. On the other hand, we won’t benefit from the fantastic tram network that is developing in Nottingham and which is to be the main beneficiary of the millions raised by the new tax. Leicester city benefits from closer links to London  and has a comprehensive bus service. This combined with the availability of good value contract parking mean that all sectors of society are well catered for.  With this in mind…
