Pendragon Vehicle Management launches new salary sacrifice scheme

PENDRAGON Vehicle Management has launched its new salary sacrifice scheme, focused on providing tax-efficient EVs to employees through their employer’s scheme, delivering a range of cost savings as well as enhancing business sustainability credentials.

The scheme will be available to new and existing clients, with The Royal Mint, A.F Blakemore, AVCO, and Targa Telematics already signed up.  

Backed by Lithia UK, which operates a retail network including Stratstone and Evans Halshaw, Pendragon will be able to offer ‘ready to go’ cars which can be with employees in just under a working week, a new salary sacrifice benchmark in the UK.

The scheme also offers benefits such as a home wall charger from Pod Point and an industry leading Life Shield product, which gives employers and employees protection in the event of maternity leave, long terms, resignation, redundancy and more. 

“We are fully focused on simplifying salary sacrifice for all parties and confident that our new offering will shake up the market. Our ability to offer employees a potential test-drive at 150 Lithia UK retail sites, coupled with the chance to sell their current vehicles directly to Evans Halshaw or Stratstone is an exciting and attractive proposition, which is unlike anything else on the market.”

David Jackson, Commercial Director at Pendragon Vehicle Management, joined from Octopus Electric Vehicles earlier this year and has helped spearhead the project: “The new Pendragon Vehicle Management salary sacrifice scheme streamlines the journey for employers and their employees. We’re uniquely positioned within the market as our extensive retail network provides us with the capability to quickly deliver vehicles, creating a new industry standard for Salary Sacrifice. We handle vehicle sourcing, delivery, and support along the whole journey.”

As part of the scheme, a new online portal will be available (main picture), enabling employees to order and receive cars faster than other providers, David added: “Our updated portal has been designed with both businesses and their colleagues in mind, bringing a new market-leading solution to the table. It provides a centralised location for employees whose business uses the scheme to choose their ideal vehicle, as well as underlining the key financial savings and helping people improve their own carbon footprint.” 

Pendragon Vehicle Management’s commercial fleet comprises over 12,000 vehicles with clients nationwide for over 40 years.
