Scheme of the Month - Cycle to Work a ‘Giant’ Success
The Sunseeker International Cycle to Work Scheme has proved a huge success, with 520 orders for bikes being placed over the three weeks the scheme ran for. Thanks to the tax relief provided under the Government scheme, and price negotiations direct with Giant, savings of up to 60% have been enjoyed on the usual list price of the bikes. Many employees are now doing their bit for the environment, and their own health, by leaving their car at home and getting on their bike.
Sunseeker International in Poole are Members of the WESTNET Group (Wessex Travel Plan Network). This Forum was set up for businesses developing Travel Plans across South East Dorset to share best practice and ideas through group discussion. Good working relationships have been established with local bus and rail companies and Carshare Dorset. The Local Authorities (Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset) act as meeting facilitators and offer advice to Forum members on setting up Bicycle User Groups as well as providing information on cycling including cycleway maps.
