Sustainability case studies
Provision of customised bicycle
A new approach to transport has been taken since Jan Langrand, one of Interserve’s Facilities Caretakers on our Foreign and Commonwealth contract in Amsterdam, suggested to his line manager that instead of driving a van to do his work around the city, Interserve should invest in a workman’s bike to save time and money.
