New jobs and investment possible as Carmarthen Mart signs up a new leaseholder

New jobs and investment have become a definite possibility after Carmarthenshire County Council secured the future of Carmarthen Mart by signing up a new leaseholder, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to suggest.

Nock Deighton Agricultural, which runs the Newcastle Emlyn Livestock Market, has won the tender to run the mart at Nantyci.

The company is set to make substantial initial investment in upgrading the facilities, and intends to create 19 local jobs, in addition to providing work for local auctioneers.

Cllr David Jenkins, executive board member for resources, said: "The Carmarthen Mart is an important element of Carmarthenshire's rural economy, and we are pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to Nock Deighton.

"The company has a long history, a great track record of running large livestock markets — including the very successful mart at Newcastle Emlyn — and a strong commitment to localism. The company is an excellent fit for Carmarthen Mart and we look forward to a long and successful association with them as we move the mart forward."

Time and Attendance Wales — Your Workforce Management Experts

Additional workforce is a sign of success and growth for all businesses, but it can cause problems for HR, accounts and admin job tasks if not managed properly. For example, if your company still uses paper timesheets filled in weekly or monthly to work out attendance and wages, a sudden influx of more staff can add hours to a workload.

A workforce management system from Time and Attendance South West would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably.

For example, managers would no longer need to approve every single timesheet every single week or month, and accounts staff would no longer need to laboriously type up the timesheets to enter them into the payroll system.
All the staff would need to do is clock in and out using one of our terminals, with either a smartcard or a biometric measurement (fingers or hands). This data is collected in our time and attendance software, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.

Another useful function of our time and attendance system is an automated fire roll call. Currently you might be reading names with difficulty from a handwritten sign in sheet, which can be misplaced. With our system you can be hooked up to your fire alarm. When it goes off it will automatically print a list of everyone who is currently clocked into the building.
