How can businesses help cut commuting costs and reduce their impact on the environment? Today is #CycleToWorkDay and here at AWE we’re encouraging our people to get on their bike for their daily commute and then take part in a lunchtime ride around our site. We’re hoping they enjoy the experience and choose to join more than 250 of our staff who are using our Cycle to Work Scheme to purchase a bike (and accessories) up to the value of £5000 and spread the cost, before tax and National Insurance, via salary sacrifice. This is just one of a range of benefits at AWE that help employees make wellbeing enhancing, financially savvy and environmentally friendly decisions. Does this sound like a company you’d like to work for? Take a look at our vacancies https://lnkd.in/eRFgRw4 #CycleToWorkDay #delivery #security #solutions #innovation
