The Frome Business Park is located on the Marston Trading Estate, and exists thanks to investment by the co-founders of DNA Worldwide Group. The site provides broadband, meeting rooms and a gym, and already has an 88% occupancy rate with 15 tenants agreed. 

 

DNA Worldwide Group needed new premises due to outgrowing its existing site at Commerce Park.

 

David Nicholson, who is co-director of both the business park and DNA Worldwide, said: "The process began a few years ago when we were looking around Frome for a larger site and quickly realised there simply wasn’t anything suitable.

 

"While we needed something suitable for our company, we also wanted to create and build something that would be of use to the wider community.

"While it has been hard work, it’s turned out better than we could’ve hoped as it means we can stay in Frome. Being able to live and work in one of the best towns in the country means a lot to us and our employees."

 

Fellow co-director Hannah Modern said: "We’ve definitely had some challenging times, including the removal of sizeable amounts of asbestos from the old site.

 

"But from the beginning we wanted to offer a space where people wanted to come to work. So the design and the detail of the space is key. That’s why we have invested so heavily in the quality of the finishes and creating a design led space that ultimately supports people who come to work.”

 

"The end result is that we’ve created a much-needed space for Frome’s business community. An independent assessment has forecast it will provide an annual £15.6m boost to the local economy."

A large complex used by many different businesses needs to have a great visitor monitoring system. Nobody wants people wandering into the wrong office, or accidentally interrupting important meetings because their meeting room is right next door to yours. 

 

Time and Attendance South West offers the Management of Contractors and Visitors Software to help everyone be in the right place at the right time. This network-based application allows you to advance book visitor appointments and pre-book on site contractors. 

 

These bookings can be made either via the PC based application or a user’s Internet browser. As soon as an appointment is booked, notification emails are sent to both the visitor and their host informing them of the appointment’s date, time and location.

 

If there is no reception area in your workspace, or if there is not a designated receptionist, we can also offer you the MCVS Unmanned Reception Console, which enables visitors to check themselves in for appointments using a touchscreen. This can send an email directly to the person who will be hosting them. 

 

If the appointment is for a visitor or contractor who needs to go around alone, MCVS provides a Welfare Check page to set up welfare notification reminders. These reminders (an on screen popup or an email) prompt the host to perform a safety check on the lone worker. 

 

This means that you are kept up to date and there can be no ambiguity about location. A history of checks performed and acknowledged is also recorded for audit purposes.
