Blyth Quayside to undergo major regeneration scheme

The 21,000 sq ft Blyth Workspace area, located on the vacant Commissioners Quay site in Blyth, is set to undergo a major redevelopment process as part of a wider scheme to regenerate the whole Blyth Estuary and town centre by building a mixed-use retail and residential development on the site.

According to a news report on the matter, a range of office spaces are set to be built in the area, most of them being targeted at companies from the energy sector.

The project is led by Arch, the Northumblerand Development Company, and designs were prepared by Newcastle firm Xsite Architecture.

Construction company Bowmer & Kirkland which has a regional office in Houghton-le-Spring, was appointed to carry out the building works, set to start this month, with completion expected in February 2015.

Alan Johansen, Bowmer & Kirkland regional director, said: "We are delighted to be working with Arch to create this high quality development which will raise the profile of the Northumberland area and help bring increased investment into the region."

Any company or group of companies wishing to get involved in projects of this magnitude should also consider the implementation of a very solid and reliable workforce management system, and that’s specifically where Time & Attendance North East might be able to lend a helping hand.

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.
