Chineham Park Launches Park Watch

Chineham Park, Basingstoke's leading business location, has launched Park Watch, a survey of the birds spotted on the park over a month using Twitter.

Occupiers have been invited to tell us what they see and when they spot it on the park from Friday 08 April 2011 until Friday 06 May 2011.

People walking through the park, occupier visitors and members of the public using the onsite facilities can submit online too.

The birds have to be seen within a specific boundary and the Tweets collected throughout the month will form the survey results, which will be published at the end of May.

Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “The ability to use social media on your mobile phone allows our occupiers and visitors to tweet what birds they see on the park instantly. Whether they are on their way to lunch, in their car or sat at their desk, Twitter is a convenient and quick way to collect data. We know from our occupiers that they do spot a wide variety of birds on the park and we wanted to get some more specific information about the birds that they see.”

If you spot a bird on the park, tweet a brief description to @Park_Watch.

Voyager Moves To Chineham Park

Voyager, a leading provider of innovative recruitment software, has moved to MEPC Chineham Park, Basingstoke's leading business location.

Due to continued expansion, Voyager required bigger and more flexible space and has acquired a lease on building totaling over 4,000 sqft in the Cedarwood area of the park.

Paul Thompson, sales director for Voyager, said: “Chineham Park is the perfect location for us. It provides our staff with good access to the M3 and the M4, excellent onsite amenities and a free courtesy coach service. Many of our staff also live locally and it is great for them to be able to walk to work.

“Our new office has superb training facilities, ideal for our customers who send their new starters for refresher sessions, and offers a greener environment in which to learn with all recyclable items collected onsite. It is reassuring to know that being in business is actually good for the environment as well.”

Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “Chineham Park is a thriving business community and attracts many highly successful software companies. Welcoming Voyager with its market leading recruitment software once again demonstrates how Basingstoke is perfectly positioned for IT specialists.”

Chineham Park Sponsors Basingstoke Rugby Club

MEPC Chineham Park, Basingstoke's leading business location, has sponsored Basingstoke Rugby Club's Community Programme.

Chineham Park has donated £6,000 to the community programme, which will help the club supply coaching to schools and further education establishments in Basingstoke & Deane.

The Rugby Club’s community programme also delivers courses in association with the Wessex Youth Offending Team and the Youth Inclusion and Support Panel. Plans are also being developed to deliver courses to NEETS, young people who are not in education, employment or training schemes.

Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “Supporting sport coaching and education efforts in the community is an excellent opportunity for an organisation such as Chineham Park to make a real difference to young people in the local area.”

Steve Tristram, chairman of the Basingstoke Rugby Club, said: “We are delighted that MEPC has agreed to become involved with the club’s community programme once again proving that the involvement of local businesses in the club’s community activities convinces us that sport should play an important part of children’s development.”
