A travel plan is a package of measures produced by employers to encourage staff to use alternatives to single-occupancy car-use, and CJ Tools has installed secure bike parking and showers at its site at Precision House in Northarbour Road, Cosham, to help its staff get to work in a more green fashion.
Boss Grant Jamieson said that a number of employees had taken up the government's cycle to work scheme for employers' purchase of bikes.
Mr Jamieson said: 'We are finding that increasingly people want to cycle.
'We participated in a similar scheme last year when 20 people rode into work. I cycled 17 miles each way. It meant I had to cool down and dust myself down a bit and it's possible for more people to cycle to work, though it's not suitable for me to cycle in every day.
'We are finding that more people want to take up the cycle to work scheme, if we could accommodate them and when we recruit, we recruit locally so people don't have to cycle far. This is good for us and good for them as it keeps the fitness levels up.'
Its decision comes with the Matisse Smart Commute Week taking place all this week during which workers across Hampshire will be urged to find alternative means of getting to work other than driving alone.
Although CJ Tools is not involved with this, its move is part of a trend, according to Caroline Collings, chairman of the south east Hampshire branch of the Federation of Small Business.
She said: 'This is gaining momentum. I know that Groundwork Solent in Cosham has been working with a lot of businesses about this.'
Kathy Azopardi, of Groundwork Solent, said the organisation had limited funding but admitted there was a lot of demand.
She said: 'We've found there's a definite demand and there is a big gap in what is being offered at the moment on the Gosport and Fareham side of things.'
The Matisse Smart Commute week, which started yesterday will see each day focusing on different means of getting to work, resulting in a reduction in commuter miles, lower carbon dioxide emissions and fuel savings.
Each commuting method can either lower stress levels, save money and/or help make employees more productive.
So yesterday was a car share day, today will be a travel plan and a park and ride day, and tomorrow will be a work from home day.
Thursday will be a flexitime day, while Friday will be an alternative commute day – when Gosport Ferry is offering free travel between 5.30am and 9.30am and 3.30pm to 6pm in a bid to encourage more people to use it on a regular basis.
John Foster, Gosport Ferry mamaging director, said over three hours the ferry could take 7,500 people but at the moment it was only taking between 3,000 and 4,000.
He said: 'We hope people will look at it seriously.'
