Growth deal to help fund South East Local Enterprise Partnership development plans

A local business partnership in the South East of England has managed to strike a £46m growth deal with the UK government and will use the money in order to bolster the number of homes being built in the area, while also creating new jobs in the process.

The South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) has vowed to use the funds it has managed to secure as part of this deal to create 200,000 jobs and build 100,000 new homes.

Initially, £17m will be invested in East Sussex between 2015/16, with a further £19m made available for transport improvements.

Keith Glazier, leader of East Sussex County Council, said: "The announcement of a growth deal between the government and SELEP demonstrates ministers’ confidence in our plans and reinforces our own ambitions for both East Sussex and the whole South East region.

"The growth deal will provide a genuine boost to our economy and our local delivery partnerships, driven by businesses, local councils, our universities and other key partners, will ensure maximum impact and value for money."

Any company, regardless of its size, that’s actively involved in the construction sector and manages to successfully carry out various refurbishment works should also seriously consider the implementation of a very strict and solid time and attendance and access control solution for all the employees and sub-contractors that will ultimately get involved in its projects, 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.
