Current benefits available to ANS staff include up to 6% off at supermarkets including Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, money off in 50 high street stores and 20,000 shops nationwide, two for one and 50% off in more than 6,500 restaurants, money off in pubs, bars and coffee shops, heavily discounted theatre tickets and attraction day passes, corporate rates in top gym chains, half price MOTs, money off Apple products and other tech, a free month's travel in London on an Oyster Card and free mobile phone insurance amongst thousands of other benefits.

Paul Shannon, COO of ANS, commented: "Rewarding our hardworking staff is hugely important to us. We have a competitive benefits list in place already, but we are always looking at exciting, innovative ways to say 'thank you' to our team. Our new partnership with Perkbox aligns perfectly with our 'work hard, play hard' culture and will help us to give something back to our team, something they can enjoy in their personal lives. 2016 marked our third appearance in the 'Sunday Times Top 100 Best Small Companies to work for' list and we are hoping that Perkbox will help us to maintain our great reputation."

ABOUT PERKBOX 

Perkbox is a cloud-based employee engagement platform for business of all sizes, giving employers and employees a range of great perks, social reward and recognition tools, and a health and wellness platform.

Perkbox is the employee benefits brand of Huddlebuy Ltd (http://www.huddlebuy.co.uk), the UK's largest benefits provider for startups and small businesses. The Huddlebuy service helps businesses grow by offering handpicked business deals from trusted brands with offers covering financial, marketing, business, technology and telecoms, education and e-learning products, alongside personal and recreational perks.

Perkbox was set up after Huddlebuy's business customers expressed an interest in passing on these business and personal perks onto their employees. Perkbox is therefore the definitive and dedicated employee benefits service for all businesses big and small.

As well as easy online redemption of perks on desktop and via smartphone app, Perkbox members also receive a seasonal surprise 'Perkbox' box stuffed with treats and free goodies delivered straight to offices.

Perkbox was set up with the belief that the best companies to work for look after their teams. The most successful businesses are comprised of people who are engaged, satisfied and loyal. Providing perks helps build stronger teams and incentivises workers to aspire to greatness.

Until recently, only large corporations could afford to pay for employee perks. Perkbox's easy and wholly customised offering allows SMEs to reward and incentivise their growing team with perks that help build a happy work culture with an investment in line with their budgets.

Perkbox is a new platform created by Huddlebuy, a parent venture that helps small businesses grow by offering handpicked business deals across financial, marketing, business, technology, telecoms, education and e-learning products.
