Manor Royal 'Move It' June News

Driving Sustainable Change in Manor Royal

Manor Royal’s “Move It” initiative continues to make steady progress towards promoting sustainable travel across the business district. Since its launch in September 2024 as part of the BID’s “Sustain & Renew” programme, Move It has focused on encouraging more sustainable commuting options for everyone who works in the area.

In partnership with West Sussex County Council, Crawley Borough Council, Metro Bus, and EasitCRAWLEY, the initiative aims to establish Manor Royal as a leader in sustainability. Through collaboration and practical solutions, Move It is helping to support a more environmentally responsible way of getting to work.

What’s happened this month?

In June, the Move It team visited both Thales and Elekta, where we enjoyed engaging, down-to-earth roadshows focused on practical, sustainable travel solutions for Manor Royal.

At Thales, employees stopped by for relaxed, informative discussions about their commuting options. We explored a range of sustainable travel choices and shared details about exclusive offers and savings available through Metrobus and Easit. Many visitors were interested in learning how these options could help make their journeys to work more affordable and environmentally friendly.

The roadshow at Elekta followed a similar format, with staff keen to find out more about the benefits of sustainable travel. We provided clear information about available schemes, including discounts and wellbeing initiatives from Crawley Wellbeing, which support healthier, greener commutes. The friendly atmosphere encouraged colleagues to ask questions and consider new ways to get to work that suit their lifestyles.

These events highlighted the value of simple, open conversations and fact-finding, helping Manor Royal employees discover practical ways to save money and reduce their environmental impact on their daily journeys.

The Move It team also made a stop at Avensys, where they finally had the pleasure of catching up with Marcus Woods, the Managing Director. Avensys is well known in the area for their expertise in cutting-edge audio-visual solutions—everything from home entertainment systems to professional installations for businesses. During the visit, the team reconnected with Stuart Avis, the lucky winner of our travel survey prize draw, and enjoyed discussing all things commuting.

As a special bonus, all staff working on Manor Royal can now enjoy a 10% discount at Avensys. If you’re interested in upgrading your tech or just curious about the latest audio-visual innovations, be sure to pop along and make the most of this offer!
