The new office is located in Temple Quarter. It is led by Adam Watson, a real estate specialist from their Nottingham site, and the firm plans to expand their team. 

 

Watson said: "This is an exciting opportunity to expand the Freeths brand into a new market. We have a number of additions to the team lined up to join us, bringing a broad range of expertise which will be supported by specialist resource from across the firm.”

 

Chairman, Colin Flanagan, said: "Whilst Bristol is a competitive legal market, this reflects the level of commercial activity in the city.

 

"We believe this opening offers a real opportunity for Freeths and we are confident that we will quickly win market share to make the office a success."

Moving to new offices is the perfect time to assess your time and attendance system. 

 

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 West, 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 could 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 can not be installed then we can offer an online/app-based clocking in service called the Self-Service Module (SSM). 

 

The mobile app version can also utilise GPS to tell you the location of employees as they clock in, which is useful for remote workers.
