Peninsula is my safety net

SGN Ltd – a convenience store and petrol forecourt operator –  is a growing brand.

Expanding to 74 sites in just two years, the business is rapidly expanding. As part of this, SGN Ltd buys out existing forecourts and brings them under its ownership.

Which means that Trish - central operations manager - is responsible for the TUPE process. This is an important yet complex process, which protects workers' rights as they transfer to a new employer.

Trish needs to check that all new starters have the right working conditions. This is crucial, as workers could carry over illegal working practices from their previous employer.

So, if Trish doesn't intervene, the brand’s reputation is at risk...

Whenever it’s time to tackle the TUPE process, Trish reaches out to her dedicated Peninsula consultant – Faye.

Faye guides Trish throughout the entire process. This can involve setting up meetings with the new employees, dealing with trade union reps, and identifying potential areas of risk.

And, when Trish needs to communicate new working conditions with employees, Faye will prepare all the relevant paperwork. Faye will draft out letters for Trish to share with new workers.

As Trish feels confident these letters cover everything from a legal perspective, she doesn't need to spend her time on paperwork - saving her both time and risk.
