| asplanned gets Danish call centre boost |
|
 |
|
 asplanned recently completed a major new project in Denmark for an international call centre operator, installing 100 workstations plus data and power cabling at the Odense centre.
The Denmark contract follows on from similar projects on behalf of the same company in locations including the Netherlands, Sweden, South Africa, France and the UK.
The client is a global outsourcer providing customer contact services across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Andy Stewart, asplanned managing director, said: "The Denmark award was the latest in a number of international contracts which have taken asplanned staff across the world.
"It demonstrates how our location in Scotland does not detract from our ability to quickly respond to client requirements, regardless of their location in the world.
"We offer a flexible approach to space planning and design while trying to minimise the overall outlay for the client. The repeat business we are enjoying, both from this client and others, tells us we have the right combination.

| asplanned recognised as Fairtrade workplace |
|
|
|
 asplanned was recently given an award from Dundee Fair Trade Forum in recognition of its commitment to using Fairtrade products in the office.
The award also recognises the work done by asplanned and former office buddies Quest (Scotland) to raise awareness about the importance of buying Fairtrade (and just how yummy it is!) when they held a coffee morning to mark Fairtrade Fortnight in March.
The asplanned team were originally invited to the launch of Dundee's Fair Trade Guide at Chambers Coffee House to collect the award, but unfortunately a bout of office lurgy prevented them from attending.
Kindly, Dundee Fair Trade Forum invited us to its latest meeting in the One World Centre to collect our certificate. A great time was had by all, plus there was a lovely array of Fairtrade coffee, tea and chocolate chip cookies to munch on!
Dundee Fair Trade Forum was originally established by the One World Centre in May 2002 to help Dundee work towards gaining status as a Fairtrade City.
Dundee may have now gained the title, but the forum still works actively with the community, retailers, churches, workplaces, schools and universities to increase awareness about Fairtrade and ensure the Fairtrade City criteria continues to be met.
For more information on making your own workplace Fairtrade friendly please contact ftfdundee@yahoo.co.uk. |

What are your dreams and goals?
To lead a less hectic lifestyle and to change career at some time while I can still be bothered. On the more materialistic side of things, I'd love to own a classic pinball machine. |

 |
pare time? |
|
|
What do you do in your spare time?
My time outside work is spent teaching side drumming in a local pipe band and attending the various competitions and events they take part in. I also enjoy a bit of online gaming, having the odd flutter on football, watching Dundee United and Sunday drives. |

|
What are you most passionate about?
It may sound like a cliché but I'm passionate about everything I do – I believe that if you are not passionate about something you shouldn't do it. I suppose I'm most passionate about my beloved Dundee United – I just wish the quality within the Scottish game as a whole was better. |
|
 |
ikes and dislikes? |
|
|
Likes – Curries, white wine, long lies, cheese on toast, friends, good comedy, Lost (the TV programme).
Dislikes – Rude people, soap operas, sweet corn, messiness. |

Tell us about any nicknames you have?
I've got a few but most make no sense so I'll spare you. |

|
|
What does you office space say about you?
Well it has tangerine chairs, which says a lot about my football allegiances. It is organised, tidy, and well thought out – everything I would like to think reflects my personality!!! |
