The environment and wellbeing are two of Lakeside’s core values – from creating the right atmosphere for our occupier community, to delivering a focus on sustainability. We all know that creating a relaxed office environment is essential if companies are to attract and retain staff. But what’s the right approach to take? At Lakeside, the site management team are working towards WELL accreditation. The International WELL Building Institute awards this standard to organisations that prioritise their employees’ wellbeing in their decision making.

Lakeside’s Estate Manager, Ian Cox, explains further, ‘WELL certification has been around for 10 years and is a high priority for us. We want to create a better working environment for all our colleagues and WELL guides organisations in the right direction. An assessor reviews a business’ operations from cleaning and hygiene standards, to air quality, business resilience, disaster planning, promotion of wellness and mental health, water quality and emergency training. Once accredited, you’re audited at regular intervals to verify that you’re abiding by the regulations outlined in the standard.’

He continues, ‘We have a series of policies, processes and procedures that all staff and contractors have to follow. For example, our environmental policy ensures that everyone considers the impact of their activities when they’re working on site – something that is so important to us at Lakeside.’

Managing a 130 acre site with multiple buildings is no easy task, so how do the team maintain it so well? Ian continues, ‘We have a landscaping team who look after the site grounds all year round. They ensure the campus looks first-rate, whilst allowing space for nature and wildlife to thrive too. Our onsite M&E team are constantly looking for opportunities to improve efficiencies, and the rest of the team, from security and front of house to cleaners, work around the clock to bring the very best experience for our occupiers. We are all here to help.’

The campus is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its diverse community of occupiers. Over the last year, the campus has seen major improvements to it’s operational efficiency, from replacing the BMS to installing the latest energy reduction technology, and we’ve seen a refurbishment of The Hub, Lakeside’s meeting and café space.

Do you have any suggestions for the team? Ian says, ‘We’re always available to discuss any areas that could be improved or any ESG initiatives that our occupiers may be working on too. Lakeside is all about collaboration, and to drive sustainable change, we all need to work together.’

A new green travel solution has launched at Lakeside North Harbour today as part of an e-scooter trial across Portsmouth.

The launch of the Voi rental e-scooter trial is a partnership between Portsmouth City Council and Solent Transport, aiming to support residents and visitors in replacing short car rides for an environmentally friendly option.

Simon Bateman, Lakeside North Harbour Asset Manager, commented: “Connectivity is key to our campus, so we’re delighted to be part of the e-scooter trial that has launched across Portsmouth today. Our occupiers are increasingly looking to utilise green travel options, and we’re pleased to be able to offer a new initiative that can help to reduce commuting times, support the environment – and it’s fun too! As we see an increase in the number of people returning to the office over the coming months, we know that the e-scooters will be a popular choice at Lakeside.”

100 e-scooters are available to rent across Portsmouth, with parking racks at 17 locations, marking where journeys can start and end. These are located at Cosham, Paulsgrove, Hilsea, Drayton and The Hard Interchange, amongst others – ensuring that Lakeside is perfectly positioned to support occupiers and visitors who wish to choose green travel.

To keep Lakeside safe for all visitors and occupiers, a reduced speed limit is in operation across campus, with the Voi rental e-scooters only able to use specified cycle paths.

The detail

• E-scooters are available to rent between 6am and 10pm.
• Users need to be 18 years old and over and have at least a provisional driving licence, which they will have to upload to the Voi app when they first register.
• The app is available for free on Apple App Store or Google Play.
• Voi rental e-scooters will cost £1 to unlock and then £0.20 per minute of usage. Voi also offers 24-hour (at £10) and 30-day (at £40) subscriptions, allowing users to take an unlimited number of 45 minute rides at a fixed rate.

For further information about the trial, please visit: travel.portsmouth.gov.uk/rentalescooters

*Privately owned E-scooters are not permitted on the Lakeside grounds.
