Get on your bike with the Cycle to Work scheme

Spring is just around the corner (if you go by the calendar, not the forecasts), and we're looking forward to getting on our bikes again. Transcendit are promoting the government's Cycle to Work scheme, which allows employees to save up to 42% on bicycles and equipment.

The Cycle to Work scheme was introduced by the government in 1999, as part of the Green Transport Plan. The scheme provides an annual tax exemption, allowing employers to loan bicycles and other equipment to employees as a tax-free benefit. The Cycle to Work scheme was introduced to 'encourage healthier journeys to work and to reduce environmental pollution'. 

As an environmentally conscious organisation, Transcendit were very keen to get involved. 'As a business, we have a responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment any way we can,' says director Tom Tinsley. 'The Cycle to Work scheme is one of the great ways we can do that - and everyone saves money in the process.'

'We've been working with Evans Cycles in Gateshead to provide bicycles and equipment to our team. It's really easy to sign up with them, and they provide excellent customer service. They made starting the scheme at Transcendit completely stress free - I have nothing but good things to say about them.'

Christophe Duhaut enrolled in the scheme last year, and frequently cycled to work over the summer months. 'It keeps me fit, and puts me in a good mood for work.' says Christophe. 'When you drive to work you're often stuck in traffic at rush hour, and if it's been really busy you get to work in a bad mood. A bike ride just sets you up for the day.'

Tom hopes that this year more of our team will enroll; but he is also hoping that more North East employers will sign up. 'It's got so many benefits for organisations and employees, there's no reason not to give it a go. Cycling is a great way to stay active, and enjoy everything the North East has to offer. We live in such a beautiful part of the country; we should be taking advantage of it.'

The Transcendit Way

Transcendit understand that when you choose to work with us, whether we're taking care of your IT, app or web development, you're trusting us with part of your business. So whether we're looking after your computers, phone systems or servers we always do things 'the Transcendit way'.

The whole of our team adhere to the same values, beliefs and policies - the principles that were written when Transcendit first formed in 2000. Whether you come to us for cloud services or recovery backup you can be confident that you'll always receive the same excellent service.

The Transcendit way outlines how we do business; following the same straightforward principles with every client and customer, regardless of how big or small they may be.

That means we get to know you and your business. We offer you a friendly, professional and efficient service, and we'll always be honest with you.
We understand that not everybody speaks fluent IT, so we try to explain things in a way that is simple and clear. We always spend as much time as is necessary explaining things to you.
If you need to talk to us about something, no matter how insignificant, we are only ever a phone call away – and we’re never too busy to make you a cup of tea and have a sit down with you in person.
We understand how frustrating it can be when things are late. When we schedule an appointment with you, we are there when you’re expecting us. If something prevents us from getting there, we always call you in advance to let you know.
Sometimes things can go wrong, but we never lie to you or try to cover something up. If things go askew we tell you what’s happened and how we plan to prevent it affecting your business.
We want you to continuously benefit from working with us. We regularly discuss your business and make suggestions for improving systems and processes wherever we can – but we never try to push you into a purchase.
When we quote a fixed price, that's always the amount we charge – you won’t find any nasty surprises on a bill from us. If you are paying by time and materials, we inform you if our approximations could change.
We understand the importance of privacy for your business and your customers. We respect the confidentiality of your data, and we will never pass on your information to third parties.
We appreciate it when you take the time to give us feedback. A system called CustomerSure records our client's responses, so you can trust that our reviews are from real people.
