Once you get your head around the sheer scale of the building and the intricacies behind the system, you start to notice the details. We’ve had to relocate departments, change the way we operate, and make frequent adjustments to the work flow through the building. In other words, there's enough space for the entire population of Leicester and Leicestershire combined - with room to spare.

If staff are so concerned with drug why is there white powder in every cubicle in the toilet, with half the patron's eyes popping. Or was it just the fact that Gillian (whose old enough to be my mother) just wanted to get home early and not serve us.She had no concern for how she spoke to us, to the fact the hall was empty and could have used the revenue, Ur only concern seemed to be less customers, less clean up, less hassle, less time in work. The Hermes driver who has delivered 450 parcels in six days - and she has a message to those who moan about their post

If an employee needs to get an item from the top shelf, then they will go up with the forklift to retrieve it. On Saturday, me and 2 friends arrived at around 1030pm and Gillian (the one with bad hair) rudely advised us that due to one of the group smelling of herbs we would not be allowed a table. Bare in mind we are 3 family men, who work over 50/60 hours a week in business who find little time for ourselves and actually look forward to playing in this dump. Also combined with the fact we regularly get 2 tables as often other boys join in, not uncommon for us to have a group of 5-10 every other weekend. If smell was an issue over half the tables were empty, and it wouldn't have been an issue to give us a table on one side. However I suspect that this was just an excuse so Gillian (short round) could some well needed rest or a late night workout, both would do her well. And yet it feels surprisingly empty of people, which serves to remind you of the size of the place.The delivery station is designed with energy efficiency as a top priority. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) is controlled by a digital building management system that ensures a comfortable working environment at the same time as reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Electric charging points will also be fitted at the delivery station. The building isn't just enormously wide, it is extremely tall too, with shelving units going almost all the way up to the ceiling. It also means that if there is an offer and a sudden rush to buy them, the aisles don't become cramped with staff. Not only does the computer tell them the correct box size to choose, a machine deposits exactly the correct amount of tape needed to seal the box. The building will be fitted with solar panels in 2022 and associates will have access to electric vehicle charging and bicycle storage.

The system will then know everything about that item and exactly where it is stored in the facility." How is it organised? She said: “Taking on this project while continuing to operate the building and deliver for our customers has been a real test of our team – and they’ve been fantastic. The barcode of the item is scanned, and this is where the information from the Cubiscan comes in useful. They’re a significant employer, not only providing hundreds of jobs in the area but a wide variety of skills and career opportunities.” Although it is a busy, somewhat imposing, work environment, it appears the global company also tries to bring a sense of lightheartedness to the workplace, as well as a splash of local identity.Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) is controlled by a building management system (BMS) that ensures a comfortable working environment for associates at the same time as reducing unnecessary energy consumption. LED lighting adjusts according to natural light availability and building occupancy, and indoor air quality is constantly monitored. Items look like they're stowed all over the place, but it's actually not random at all," says Gary. Describing how the company had changed over the past decade, he said: "It's a lot more streamlined now.
