SBP Car Share Scheme
Car Sharing is when two or more people share their journey to work. It's easy and flexible and offers a simple way to reduce fuel costs and the need for parking, cut congestion and pollution, as well as the stress of driving too.
Now all employees working on the park can join the SBP Car Share Scheme to find other employees with the same or similiar journey to work. The benefits of car sharing include;
- Save money - half price petrol
- Reduce congestion
- Easier to park - less cars = more parking spaces
- Meet new contacts - potential business networking opportunities
The process is simple - just register your details on the SBP Car Share Scheme, add your journey information and the system will find a match for you.

Cycling
All new buildings on the park provide cycle racks and showering facilities to allow cyclists to secure their cycles safely and freshen up. The roads providing access to the business park are generally lightly trafficked with a 40mph speed limit, making the roads suitable for use by cyclists to link into the cycle routes close by. The section of cycle track along Europa Link forms part of the National Cycle Network and Trans Pennine Trail with a continuous link into Sheffield City Centre and cycling and walking maps for Sheffield and Rotherham are available on request from the Management Suite.
