300 new jobs might be created in Eastbourne following harbour redevelopment

The full redevelopment of Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne could create up to 300 jobs, says the South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP), which has actually pledged no less than £6m to this plan, a news report in the local media reveals.

The funds were made available through the government’s Growing Places Fund and would be used to build serviced offices on designated employment land. In total, the project should lead to the development of more than 32,000 sq ft of offices and workspace.

John Spence, chairman of the South East Local Enterprise Partnership, said: "There is a demand for new offices and facilities in the area and this project will help towards meeting this need. It could also be a catalyst for other businesses to move into the area that may have been lost to Eastbourne and the surrounding area without it."

Taking into account the specific details and requirements behind such a huge undertaking, it’s quite clear that the building contractor or contractors will employ a fairly numerous staff, and the best way of managing this rather large workforce is via one of the comprehensive solutions provided by Time & Attendance South East.

Our systems are user-friendly, innovative and designed for the working environment. They also offer a wide array of features, such as support for contactless smart cards (which would really come in handy in a busy, dusty construction environment), as well as optional finger print biometrics and mobile phone SIM card support.

Moreover, the multi-user, networked, multi site Time and Attendance, Access Control, Fire Roll Call and security system includes European Working Time Directive checking and reporting and allows administrators to save up to 2000 employees, supports extensive shift management and payroll-related operations, the allocation of various pay bands, and much more.
