01732 759725 6 Espria launches CSP renewal assessment service Espria has launched a free M365 Licence Assessment programme to help businesses save costs by reviewing existing licence estates and identifying those licences not in use or no longer being utilised. With Microsoft recently changing how they sell and structure licenses, businesses must now reassess their current M365 licenses, looking for ways to reduce costs and keep the capabilities they need as they move to new license agreements. “Our CSP renewal assessment offers business owners valuable insights into the costs associated with their existing estate, shining a light on those licenses no longer in use or never used in the first place,” said Greg Hawthorn, Managing Director at Espria. “Without an initial resource assessment, it can be difficult to know what you can afford to take away without damaging or massively disrupting your business operations. Phasing out redundant IT licensing, however, might be the key that a lot of financial officers and IT operators are missing when it comes to unnecessary costs for your business that could be tightened up on.” www.espria.com BULLETIN Evolve announces £1.1 million investment Evolve has opened its new £250,000 warehouse in Wigan as the company experiences rapid growth. Under its expansion plans following a multimillion-pound investment from BGF last year, Evolve has established the new 6,000 square foot warehouse to streamline the purposebuilt approach it takes to its operations. Purpose built for pre-staging, the warehouse will be five times more efficient than Evolve’s previous warehouse space, it currently has capacity for 100 pallets, with the option to expand to 300 pallets. It also houses a disaster recovery zone to support Evolve’s 24/7/365 contingency plan and involved upskilling employees with forklift training to enable them to be self-sufficient and quicker. Previously housing its warehouse operations at its headquarters in Wigan, the new warehouse space has enabled Evolve to expand and upgrade its main office with an £850,000 investment. The new office design is open plan to promote a united team and features additional pods for smaller breakout spaces, a larger conference space for internal socials, panoramic views of the Northwest as well as a larger kitchen with a state of the art coffee machine, more kitchen appliances and more seating for team collaboration. CEO Alan Stephenson-Brown said: “The investment into our warehouse and office spaces demonstrates the commitment Evolve has to its own growth and development, as well as to our people. Employees have been critical to the whole process, from their involvement in the planning process of the new office design to the availability of free onsite food and drink at the new warehouse that has led to feedback of increased happiness for the whole team.” The move follows the recent appointments of Michelle Horan as Finance Director, Martyn Yih as Head of IT services and Caroline Oxley in a new Head of People role, which were all part of a long-term strategy to strengthen Evolve’s leadership team and reinforce its commitment to being an employer of choice. www.evolvebg.co.uk Workflo Solutions acquires again Workflo Solutions has acquired and fully integrated former competitor Incovo’s assets and operations into its expanding business.
