More NHS colleagues lease cars through NHS Fleet Solutions than via any other salary sacrifice supplier. More than 60% of NHS providers and ICBs contract with us to provide their workforce with great value lease cars, including Special Offers with quicker delivery lead-times. Our proposition includes motor insurance for five drivers, routine servicing, tyre and windscreen replacement, and breakdown cover. In parallel, we offer a Home Electronics proposition, where staff sacrifice a fixed amount of their salary to own the latest home appliances and technology from Currys—washing machines, gaming computers, mobile phones etc. We mitigate risk and administration through established scheme policies and procedures—created by the NHS for the NHS. The salary-sacrifice schemes we provide generate significant financial savings for NHS organisations, while helping to recruit and reward talented staff. Visit NHS Fleet Solutions or email groupsales@northumbria-healthcare.nhs.uk where Jason Coleman and the team will be happy to help.
