Cleaning company relocates to rejoin parent

Bright & Beautiful, a domestic housekeeping services business, has moved its head office from Manchester to Banbury in Oxfordshire.

Bright and Beautiful is a franchise of Neighbourly, which has 3,700 franchise locations in 9 different countries, including 5 brands in the UK.

Sue Moore, managing director of Bright & Beautiful, said: “We’re so proud of reaching our tenth-year anniversary in franchising and to relocate to Banbury, where we can join the rest of the Neighbourly family and be more cohesive as an organisation.

“This move will enable our support staff and franchisees to be more centrally located within the UK.”

Moving to new offices is the perfect time to assess your time and attendance system, and upgrade it if necessary.

Many office-based companies don’t believe that they need a structured attendance monitoring system, but we argue that the data from our attendance system can gather will boost their efficiency. As we say at Time and Attendance South East, a time and attendance system isn’t Big Brother, it just gives you the big picture!

You may not need to know the exact timings of your salaried staff as a boss or a manager, but HR might find a full history of their timings very important if you ask them to put a member of staff on a disciplinary for lateness.

Without careful documentation, proving lateness can be difficult. Many companies still operate on a casual “Just let me know,” attitude, which make it difficult to clearly state how many absences they might have had over a certain time period without laboriously scrolling through texts or emails.

With our centralised time and attendance system, HR can see everyone’s clocking data for whom they have permission, and quickly and easily export this or format it into reports using our report wizard or advanced report creation settings.

Staff can clock in either using our physical terminals, which work with fingerprints and/or radio-frequency smartcards, or if physical terminals cannot be installed then we can offer an online/app-based clocking in service called the Self-Service Module (SSM).
