One of our companies new ideas to save money. Email below, together with my response to it.
We have provided fresh cartons of milk in the vending areas for a number of years but this has now become a very costly exercise (a 5 figure sum for SMAX and Swindon last year not to mention milk that is wasted). With the recent move of the Swindon operation we took the opportunity to stop providing this service and in order to bring St Mary Axe in line we intend to do the same here from Monday 29th June.Can you please advise your teams that this is going to happen and ask them to contact Office Services by email should they have any queries.
Milk jiggers will continue to be provided by all vending machines.
Thanks
