Aside from the company success you will have read in various places about our charity work with both ‘KidsOut’ and ‘Hounds for Heroes’. This is work that we are all extremely proud of, not only because we are giving money to charities that really make a difference to peoples lives, but also because we can give something even more important…..our time. The time we volunteer to ‘KidsOut’ actually means that groups of children can go on a fun day out, its all very well having the money to pay for days out but if there is nobody to take them it just wouldn’t happen. The Winter Wonderland day at the end of November was both rewarding and emotional for all the Interr staff that attended, I personally am attending another kids party in Birmingham in a few days and will continue to support both charities in a very active way throughout 2015. If anyone would like to volunteer a day of their time to this very worthy cause then please contact me through the office and we can discuss upcoming dates for events. 2015 is already set to be another incredible year for Interr. We have many new opportunities for all divisions of the business including Reception & Concierge, Security, Cleaning and Consultancy. Existing clients are opening more locations across the World and we have a newly appointed Head of Overseas Operations starting with us in January to ensure our International business continues to grow. We could not do what we do without you, so I would like to make sure that you all know how valuable you are to the compa- ny and how much we appreciate your hard work in providing the highest standards possible…..the very thing that makes Interr different from all the rest! Wishing you all and your families a very Happy New Year. Message from Roderick Arnold, Managing Director By the time most of you read this newsletter Christmas will all be over…for those of you who celebrated with your families I hope you had a lovely day and are not suffer- ing with indigestion from overindulgence! I know for most of you working at Interr the Christmas break will be very short with ‘all hands on deck’ for the Winter Sales all starting on Boxing day, and we are very grateful for all of your efforts and hard work over what is always the company’s busiest time. As it’s the end of the year it is also a good time to have little look back over a few of the highlights from 2014. One of the biggest successes was to achieve our amazing score of +166 for the SIA ACS, this put us in the top 5% of all security suppliers in the country and was well worth all the hard work and late nights that the team put in to achieve this, and as if this wasn’t enough we were also nominated in 2 categories for the IFSEC awards last month (Security Guarding Company of the Year, and Security Manager of the Year). We have also started to work with some fantastic new customers this year including Uniqlo (in Germany & the U.K), John Varvatos and American Eagle. Sports Direct have contin- ued to give us more responsibility for their business over 2014 by giving us more West and Eastern European stores and their H.O build- ing, we have opened new J Crew stores in both Hong Kong and London and just this month we were trusted by Victoria’s Secret to provide ALL the security for their famous Fashion Show (the worlds largest fashion event) at Earls Court in London. This was the biggest single event we have ever worked on and the entire management team were involved over a 5 day period from moving 45 supermodels and dia- mond jewellery to securing hotels and VIP CP. Mission Statement To develop and supply outstanding and innovative solutions to diverse customers through dedication and a companywide commitment to excellence.

Informing HMRC and your employer about a change of personal details
Many employees are under the impression, quite understandably, that if they
change their name and / or address and tell payroll and HR then we will advise
HMRC. This is not the case and was never the case, even in the days before we
started sending information in real time (RTI). Personal information changes
are a personal responsibility. If you as the employee give your employer information to be
recorded, it is still your obligation to tell HMRC to change your records. This is even more
important following the introduction of RTI.
With the advent of reporting in real time, aligning information between the employer and
HMRC has gained more significance. When we send in our Full Payment Submissions, HMRC
‘match’ employee information from the FPS to their own records that are stored on the Na-
tional Insurance and PAYE Service (NPS). When the information matches, the information
from our FPS updates the individual’s record on the NPS – no match equals no update or,
even worse, the possibility of the creation of a duplicate employment. The key matching
information is your name, date of birth and National Insurance Number but your address also
pays a part in the matching process and HMRC have always said that inconsistencies between
the employer and the NPS cause the majority of their problems.
Therefore, both employer and employee have a part to play in trying to make this matching
process as smooth as possible. We are therefore advising employees how you can easily up-
date HMRC’s records if there is a change to your personal details. HMRC have an online form
that you, the employee, can use to update your information at HMRC. This will update the
following services in addition to those held on the NPS for tax and NICs:
Construction Industry Scheme
Child Benefit
Child Trust Fund (though individuals will still need to update their account provider
separately)
Student loan (though individuals will still need to tell the Student Loans Company
separately, as HMRC is unable to pass your change details on to them)
Tax credits
Payroll Cut Off Dates
Pay day will continue to be 1st of each month with pay period 11th of
the month to 10th of the following month. For example:
Pay Period Pay Day
Where the pay date falls on a weekend or a bank holiday the pay day
will be on the next working day. Should you have any questions
about your breakdown, wage slip or payment, you should call the of-
fice or make an appointment with Payroll and they will be happy to
help you.

As you are aware from last month’s newsletter it was agreed by the Executive not to hold a staff Christmas Party this year in favour of making donations to our nominated charities. This was extremely well received by our staff who decided instead to hold an office party with a difference. Employees brought their
children along to the office, as well as a contributory festive dish to make this Christmas party a truly
memorable event.
As you can see from the photos we were privileged to be able to host Santa Claus, aka Tony Sheath, who came all the way from the North Pole to bring presents to the children.....and what a wonderful Santa Claus he made
too! Thank you Tony.
Some interesting facts.....
Now that Christmas is well and truly over I would just like
to share some interesting facts about the Christmas tree.
Did you know that an artificial Christmas tree, which has become increasingly popular over the last few years, has a carbon footprint at least ten times larger than a real
tree?
Buying a 6 foot fake tree, made from plastic, is as damaging to the environment as toasting 5,222 slices of bread or driving 120 miles in an average-sized car. A real tree of the same size creates carbon emissions the equivalent of toasting 418 pieces of bread and driving less
than 10 miles.
Corporate Social Responsibility update by Liboria Cannatella, Commercial Director
Interestingly, the carbon footprint during December is 6 per cent higher than in most other months, because of the amount of presents people buy, the extra food they consume and waste, and the extra car trips to visit relatives and
friends. Food for thought!
What a fantastic start to the season William Hall is having! Last month we saw him move up to play in the under 12s due to his outstanding skill and ability, and this month.....well I can tell you that the winning streak continues for the team, with a
3-2 victory away at the weekend.
In addition to the team win, William was awarded the gold award as judged by the opposing team officials which not only takes into account William’s skills but also his attitude and team spirit. Well
done William!
Previously the team played in the Hampshire cup in Portsmouth which saw them march on to the quarter finals following a
thrilling victory over their local opponents on penalties.
William will not be playing in the last match this weekend as he is taking a well-deserved break for Christmas! Happy Christmas to
the team from Interr.
