Segro plans to build 38,000 sq ft logistics complex in Reading
Plans for building a 38,000 sq ft logistics complex on Imperial Way, 1km from Junction 11 of the M4, have been submitted by Slough-based property developer Segro to the Reading Borough Council, a news report in the local business media has revealed.
Segro hopes to create a 33,000 sq ft warehouse with loading doors for 26 vans and five loading spots for heavy goods vehicles, as well as a 5,000 sq ft office on the site. The plans also involve parking for 61 cars, 72 vans and seven heavy goods vehicles.
The Segro-owned site was formerly let to Premier Foods, and the vacant building on the site was demolished in early 2013. The only problem with the company’s application is the fact that the location lies just to the west of Holiday Inn Reading – South, which is 2.5 miles from Reading city centre.
Considering just how massive this entire will be (should it get approved, of course), there’s quite a clear and present need to implement a very strict and solid time and attendance and access control solution for all the sub-contractors that will ultimately get involved, and that’s specifically where Time & Attendance South East can help.
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.
