Small Business Awards 2023 | 11 Issue 6 2024 | 11 Aggreko’s Head of International Benefits, Richard Wallis, shares, “there has been considerable interest in the scheme since we launched it, with 180 employees signing up to the scheme on the first day alone. I myself have also switched my car to an EV without any problems.” He adds, “we expect the scheme to grow and grow. For example, we have just communicated its existence to the staff of a new business we have just acquired – and we expect this pattern to continue over time.” As for the future of Fleet Evolution, the business’ plans for the next five years involve further supporting its ever-expanding customer base with the switch to green. This includes measuring the impact of going electric in a broader sense, something that spans such areas as solar, battery storage, and heat pumps, to name just a few. There are further future plans regarding vehicles too, with the company ramping up projects relating to electric vans, a quest that sees the business seeking to electrify more vehicles across UK roads. Leveraging the skills of a specialist and knowledgeable team, a simple process designed to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible, as well as a keen eye for the best deals to snatch up for its clients, Fleet Evolution Ltd is fortifying the future of salary sacrifice electric car schemes throughout the UK. This, combined with its ongoing commitment to flawlessly managing the fleets of clients, make this business worthy of being recognised as a standout in its field. Contact: Andrew Leech Company: Fleet Evolution Ltd Web Address: https://www.fleetevolution.com/ Since introducing the first salary sacrifice electric car scheme to the UK back in 2012, Fleet Evolution has gone from strength to strength, providing clients with flexible, cost-effective vehicle and management solutions, regardless of the size or complexity of the undertaking. It is this unparalleled flexibility that truly sets the business apart within this industry, and results in customers and their unique needs existing at the very heart of this operation. Where others simply say “no”, Fleet Evolution’s approach guides it towards always saying, “let’s discuss.” Interestingly, the simple and yet impactful approach pioneered by Fleet Evolution to managing the needs of its customers is grounded in HR, and it possesses a unique ability to set up these schemes in just one day, this in addition to its handling of all engagement and HMRC submissions. By developing the industrydisrupting method of assessing such offerings from a HR perspective, this Tamworth-based employee car scheme and fleet management provider stands as a beacon of trust and efficiency. Commenting on his company’s terrific work in this sector, Founder and Managing Director Andrew Leech explains, “we love working in the employee benefits space as literally everyone wins. Employers that offer benefits attract the best staff and retain the best talent, and the employee can have a brand-new EV (electric vehicle) for a lower cost than running a five-year-old diesel.” Perhaps best of all, the planet also wins, as electric vehicles are infinitely better than their fossil fuel counterparts when it comes to emissions. When Fleet Evolution launched its initial salary sacrifice electric car scheme, its first customer had around 50 employees. Today, Fleet Evolution’s smallest customer has just three employees. Thus, in a world where many car suppliers are unwilling to work with smaller customers and are simply looking to expand their portfolio through numbers, the team at Fleet Evolution are distinguished by assessing and understanding the benefits market in its entirety, making them the perfect ambassadors to serve it holistically, irrespective of size. This is a sentiment shared by Scottish energy company Aggreko, which benefits immeasurably from the employee car scheme it has through the business. Every member of its approximately 900-strong UK workforce has access to electric cars through this scheme, and with an operation of this size, Aggreko made sure to do its research before selecting a provider that aligned with its goals and would do justice to the needs of its staff. From its home base in Staffordshire, England, Fleet Evolution Ltd has been working for more than a decade to help its customers make the switch to electric vehicles, something it achieves through its simple, tax efficient salary sacrifice employee benefit car scheme and fleet management services. 14 years after starting out, Fleet Evolution today boasts the most simple and inclusive car scheme on the market, serving start-ups through to huge corporations. For its outstanding efforts, Fleet Evolution has been named as the Employee Car Scheme & Fleet Management Company of the Year 2024 – UK. An Electric Vehicle Car Scheme Done Right
