Defence, security, transport and energy electronics group Ultra Electronics has selected Tusker to provide a salary sacrifice car scheme as part of its UltraSelect flexible benefits package available to around 1,800 employees throughout the UK.

Ultra Electronics, which employs around 4,000 employees worldwide and is based in Greenford, Middlesex, has operated a flexible benefits scheme providing an array of benefits for a number of years.

This is Ultra’s first move into the provision of salary sacrifice cars, however, and the decision to select Tusker’s SalarySacrifice4Cars scheme was based on the compatibility of systems with its existing benefits provider, Vebnet, and the lack of suitable flexible benefits arrangements from its existing company car fleet suppliers, said HR Director, Keith Thomson.

“We have set a limit of 150g/km for cars in the scheme, because we didn’t want to exceed the 160g/km threshold for corporation tax and we want the scheme to be as green as possible.”
