Staff benefits update

01 Sep 2016

Summer is coming to a close and we are back to our regular weekly updates!

cottage and swimming pool

So here are the latest offers from Perkz, reduced ticket prices for exhibitions at EventCity, discounted September breaks, 25% off luxury underwear for men and women and a prize draw too!

Perkz

As autumn draws in and our wallets are starting to feel a bit empty after our summer holidays, it’s time to get back to saving on those everyday essentials.  You can get some fantastic discounts on your groceries with Tesco and Sainsbury’s, school supplies with Toys R Us and home essentials with Debenhams.  Find out more via the Perkz page.

Events

You can access a couple of offers for events at EventCity with  50% off the ticket price for the Stitching, Sewing & Hobbycrafts Show, 8-10 Sept and save a third on tickets for the Baby and Toddler Show on 7-9 October - see the prize draw below for how to win tickets for this event!

Denplan

Sugar-Free September is all about giving up the sugars that are added to our foods and drinks (these are called extrinsic sugars if you're interested in the sciency bit). We already have more than enough sugar in our diets from naturally-occurring sources such as whole fruits, vegetables and milk (these are intrinsic sugars) and we don't need or benefit from eating the sugars that are added to our food and drink.  So why not join Denplan and go sugar-free this September and see how much better you feel? After a month, you may even adjust how much sugar you consume going forward, which can only be a good thing!

Travel

Cottages.com has early September breaks from as little as £225.  Alternatively, with amazing 30% savings on hotels spanning the UK, Ireland & Continental Europe’s most iconic cities, it could be time to embark on your bucket list getaway with IHG Staff Benefits including Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Hotel Indigo!  Plus you can also access 20% discount on the Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts brand. SuperBreak offers you a great discount plus now has over 170 New Year packages now on sale – a mixture of locations all over the UK.  There are also some great offers with HotelExclusives including UK hotels and European beach breaks. 

Nod and a Wink

Save 25% with Nod and a Wink that has a full range of underwear and sleepwear for men, women and children including Bassoni and Panache lingerie.

Stationery

Rymans have a store on Oxford Road close to MMU when you can continue receiving 10% discount.
