The park, formerly called the Bicester Gateway Retail Park, represents a total capital investment of £40m. 

 

Martin Ridgway, managing director of Consolidated Property Group, the developer promoting the new Kingsmere Retail Park, said: "It’s great news to finally get onsite and see the retail park take shape. Being adjacent to Countryside Properties’ Kingsmere Village we decided to change its name to reflect its true location.

 

"Since the development was first proposed there has been a radical change in the retail market but some big names have already signed-up for units and others are eager to follow.

 

Next and M&S Simply Food have now signed with their latest format flagship stores and there are others in the pipeline."

As companies move into the new retail park, they will need to make sure that their buildings are fully suitable for their requirements. 

One area which is often overlooked by companies settling into their new premises is time and attendance management. 

 

Many office-based companies without experience of structured attendance management believe that it wouldn’t be useful for them, because their workers are not paid by the hour. 

 

However, the data you gather with a good time and attendance system is useful in more areas than simply collecting it for payroll. 

 

For example, HR can have quick, easy access to employee data on sickness absences, in order to identify potential problems. Our software even automatically calculates the Bradford Index, which quantifies sickness absences and weights frequent short-term absences more than long-term absences.
