LONDON (Alliance News) - Personal Group Holdings PLC Tuesday said it has won two contracts in the passenger transport sector, securing deals with Translink in Northern Ireland and with Blackpool Transport to provide voluntary benefits programmes to their staff.
Personal Group, which provides employee benefits, employee related insurance products and financial services in the UK, said it will be implementing a programme to provide Translink employees with over 8,000 retail discounts, both online and offline, offering savings at well-known high street stores including Asda, Argos, Boots, Sainsburys, B&Q and New Look.
Employees also will be offered access to discounts across a range of items from travel and attractions, fashion and gifts and health and well-being to utilities and motoring.
The new scheme will be launched throughout Translink's 80 locations using a range of internal communication channels. Translink is the main provider of public transport in Northern Ireland.
Blackpool Transport employs 600 people who will be given access to a bespoke Personal Group web portal, recently developed in-house by Personal Group. It is a website that gives discounts on everyday items.
"Personal Group's significant experience in the transport industry, working with companies such as Network Rail and Stagecoach, will be of considerable benefit when implementing these programmes to both Translink and Blackpool Transport's disparate workforces, and we look forward to rolling out the benefits programme to their employees," Mark Scanlon, chief executive, said in a statement.
Personal Group shares were Tuesday quoted at 475.00 pence, up 2.8%.
