Jigsaw24 employees the driving force behind net zero goal

Apple partner says 33 staff have already ordered vehicles through scheme saving them 20-40 per cent on electric vehicles

Apple partner Jigsaw24 claims over a quarter of its staff have already shown an interest in its Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme in its first three months.

The Nottingham-based tech solutions provider introduced the initiative, in partnership with Octopus Electric Vehicles, as part of a wider push to reach net zero carbon.

Jigsaw24 claims over 33 of its employees have already ordered vehicles through the initiative, which promises savings of between 20 and 40 per cent against showroom prices.

It also installed two electric vehicle charging points at its HQ car park in September.

One of the scheme's early adopters, Jigsaw24's head of enterprise sales, Jon Royall, said he felt it was "the right time" to move to an electric vehicle.

"The introduction of Jigsaw24's salary sacrifice scheme, car manufacturers introducing new electric vehicles and the enthusiasm bubbling over around the office accelerated my interest and decision to make the switch much sooner than anticipated," he said.

"Octopus are a good fit on values with us, we make a good partnership and the scheme is straight forward for both employer and employee," added Jigsaw24 founder and director John Hughes.

"One of the reasons we opted for Octopus was their commitment to offering 100 per cent electric vehicles, with no hybrids on the list."
