Staff at Wright Hassall have been taking matters into their own hands when it comes to the environment and setting wheels in motion for a car sharing scheme.
And some members of staff have even decided to leave their cars at home to walk or cycle to work instead.
Tara King, of Wright Hassall, said: “We wanted to encourage staff to either car share, ride their bike, get the train or walk to work.
“The idea came about when people were coming to work in separate cars from the same areas, and could quite easily have shared a lift.
“We set up an internal email system and staff can find out if there is someone at Wright Hassall who lives near them, so that they can car share.
“There are members of staff who live quite close to and some of them already cycle to work, but we wanted to encourage those that don’t cycle and tend to drive in, to give cycling a go.
“Now they have done it once, hopefully it will encourage them to cycle to work more often.
“Not only is it kinder to the environment, but if we can get all of the staff at Wright Hassall to either car share or cycle into work, it saves them money!”
