Simply Conveyancing drives sustainability and employee engagement with Tusker
UK property law firm Simply Conveyancing has taken another step in its commitment to sustainability, employee wellbeing and retention by introducing a salary sacrifice car benefit scheme with Tusker.
The initiative reflects Simply Conveyancing’s strategic focus on attracting and retaining top legal talent in a competitive industry, while also promoting environmental responsibility through the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs).
Martin Turk, Head of HR said: “We operate in a niche market where recruiting and retaining skilled property lawyers is always a challenge.
“We wanted to ensure our benefits package was truly industry-leading.
“With EVs becoming more desirable and affordable, it made perfect sense to introduce a car benefit scheme that provides our people with a cost-effective, hassle-free way to transition to electric.”
Beyond talent retention, sustainability played a key role
The firm, with around 280 employees, recognised the need to align with broader environmental goals while offering employees financial advantages through tax savings on EV leases.
The selection of Tusker as the scheme provider was influenced by its seamless integration with Simply Conveyancing’s existing benefits platform, Reward Gateway.
With many employees already familiar with the platform, adding a car scheme was a frictionless experience.
The early response has been positive, considering changing vehicles is a major decision and happens when it’s the right timing for the employee, not necessarily when a new benefit has been launched.
The scheme launched in September 2024, and to date, 28% of staff have logged into the portal, orders have been steady, and five cars have already been delivered.
Interest is also expected to increase as employees reach the end of their existing car finance agreements.
Salary sacrifice schemes provide accessibility
The rising cost of vehicles was a key consideration for Simply Conveyancing.
While the high upfront costs of EVs are a barrier for many, the Tusker salary sacrifice scheme provides an accessible way for employees to drive electric vehicles without large financial upfront payments.
“We know that the cost of vehicles is a major factor for our employees,” said Turk.
“Through the Tusker scheme, we’re able to offer a more affordable solution that covers maintenance, insurance, and servicing, removing the hassle of car ownership.”
While the scheme is still in its early stages, Simply Conveyancing is optimistic about its long-term success.
The company is committed to ongoing promotion, leveraging internal communication channels to ensure all employees are aware of the benefit – an easy channel thanks to the workforce already being highly digital.
The Simply Conveyancing car scheme represents a step towards a more sustainable, employee-friendly benefits offering.
By providing an affordable route to electric vehicle adoption, the firm is strengthening its commitment to green travel and reinforcing its position as a leading employer in the legal sector.
