Reduce your carbon footprint the Avanta way
It’s coming. Companies will be required to reduce their carbon footprint, either by government or consumer power. Avanta’s serviced office , virtual office and remote conferencing solutions can help.
Serviced office solutions
Avanta’s serviced office centres are located in prime locations across London and other cities in the UK and the central theme is different business coming together to share facilities.
This of course has a number of advantages, with serviced office occupiers sharing communal spaces, office services and to a certain extent suppliers of products and services.
Typically this might mean a serviced office occupier requiring less space to run their business, as they take the office space and share the communal areas, catering facilities, photocopier areas and so forth.
And of course, taking less office space equals les heat and light required, equals less carbon – as does the fact that on-site serviced office support means fewer fuel guzzling visits from external suppliers.
In fact the carbon reasons can be almost as compelling as the financial ones for taking a serviced office.
Home working
Turning your staff into home workers certainly cuts congestion and commuter emissions. Employees tend to like it too – and with Avanta’s virtual office solution you can be sure they’re well supported.
The virtual office product can be packaged to meet your needs. Your people can have their own geographic or non geographic number with automatic forwarding or virtual PA intervention.
We can also provide a mailing address at any of our serviced office centres in London or across the UK. Post is forwarded same day at cost – and there’s no mention of Avanta in the address.
All of this is ideal if you want your employees to maintain a “large company” image whilst working from home – without having to tie up your office staff with endless call or mail forwarding.
On which subject, if you are an Avanta serviced office occupier, you will be using our VoIP phone system. Your people can log on from home, using broadband, and use the same system.
Finally, if home working doesn’t appeal to you as an employer, you could cluster your staff at an Avanta serviced office centre closer to their homes.
Currently we have serviced offices throughout London, as well as in Reading , and we will be expanding our business centres across the UK from 2007.
Aircraft emissions are growing steadily and are attracting a lot of adverse publicity. By using video and audio conferencing in place of travel you can establish your low carbon credentials.
We can host video and audio conferencing in any meeting and training room at any of our serviced office centres, with very little notice. You simply pay for the meeting and training room by the hour and for the service you use on top.
Initiating and running an audio or video conference at our serviced office centres is as easy as making a phone call and our partners have facilities available in most cities of the world.
Omni directional audio conferencing units mean you that multiple delegates can take part in our meeting and training rooms – within business centres that are all well placed for public transport.
With video and audio conferencing you can save time, save money and save the planet too.
Cycle to your serviced office
Don’t drive to your Avanta serviced office – cycle! We’re currently adding more cycle racks at each of our serviced centres, so go green and get healthy.
