With the help of a grant Ken Burgess, Director of Exis Technologies, a computer software company based on Faverdale Industrial Estate is to install showers and changing facilities for the 15 staff he employs.
Ken Burgess, a keen cyclist himself, will be regularly cycling to work and he thinks that the installation of a shower will allow him and some of his staff to be fresher at the start of the working day.
"Local Motion's help in funding the installation of the shower will be a huge benefit to the staff who will be more likely to cycle to work as a result, rather than drive. Our new office is in an ideal location for cycling to work and there are a good number of segregated cycle routes linking Faverdale with other parts of the town”.
