IT’S not every day that your local MP pops into your brokerage. But that’s exactly what happened to Synergy Car Leasing, who welcomed Tom Gordon, MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough through its doors.
On the agenda for Tom, Synergy boss Will Voisey, and members of the team, was the work Harrogate leasing broker does and how the business is helping customers make the transition to electric vehicles.
Discussions included the role that EVs will play as the country moves towards its net zero target and the financial options that are available both for businesses and individuals looking to make the switch.
“It has been fantastic welcoming Tom here today and spending time discussing the importance of EVs and the infrastructure needed to support and increase their take-up across the country. Many people see the benefits of driving an EV, but have reservations about the practicalities, and some businesses may be hesitant to move their fleet over to electric, despite the cost savings and sustainability advantages. We’re passionate about showing people and businesses how they can make the change.”
Will also added that salary sacrifice can help make driving an EV very cost-effective for employees, while companies moving their fleet to electric vehicles can help businesses support their environment, social and governance agenda (ESG).
On spending time at Synergy, Tom Gordon said:
“It’s clear that Synergy cares about delivering a great product and service to their customers, and that they are well-placed to help people understand the options available to them as they make the switch to electric vehicles. It is great to see such a forward-thinking and successful business operating here in Harrogate.
“Electric vehicles have much to offer both businesses and individuals. As we move towards achieving net zero targets in the UK, the Government must remove the remaining obstacles to electric vehicle users and provide support to push the transition further forward, particularly with consumers.”
