Social housing organisation Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing (KNH) has adopted the salary sacrifice scheme from Pendragon Contracts.

KNH manages more than 23,000 homes on behalf of Kirklees Council, West Yorkshire. The scheme allows employees to sacrifice part of their salary before tax and NI contributions and in return they acquire a company car.

Mike Roe, sales & marketing director of Pendragon Contracts, says: “Our salary sacrifice scheme aims to be totally risk and admin free for organisations and provides a bespoke, flexible approach to the market. We were able to tailor our service to Kirklees’ requirements to ensure its employees benefit from a cost-effective approach. Servicing, insurance and RFL is all included so all employees have to do is put fuel in the car. With rapid access to thousands of cars, we are able to offer KNH guaranteed short lead times.”

Sue McConnell, human resources manager at Kirklees, adds: “Thanks to the flexibility of the simplydriveit scheme we have been able to integrate the salary sacrifice scheme into our organisation with ease. We chose Pendragon Contracts based on its risk-free approach and promise of minimal burden on our admin staff. The new scheme will enable us to offer a cost- effective fleet solution to our employees while upping our eco credentials.”
