Initially launched four years ago, ALD Automotive has renegotiated improved terms on new car, monthly lease rates for 3,500 staff employed by Surrey Police for its affinity scheme.

Vehicles are available to all employees and their families, while the ALD Automotive AutoChoice scheme may also be promoted to retired police officers in the future.

Nearly-new cars, typically six months old and with up to 10,000 miles on the clock, are also available through its AutoChoice programme.

Surrey Police remains the only force in the UK to offer employees a new or used car affinity scheme as part of a range of benefit options.
