Business Engage Profiles EZOO set for an electric year

A Coventry business which offers flexible and affordable electric cars is set to expand as an increasing number of drivers look to make the switch to electric vehicles.

EZOO, a premium salary sacrifice provider for electric cars, is set to take on new members of staff in sales, finance and social media and marketing to cater for increasing demand.

The business was founded by Lash and Charnjit Saranna, who have extensive experience in the automotive industry having built Europe’s largest independent Porsche dealership, formerly based on the A45 in Coventry, before transitioning into electric vehicles in 2014 and incorporating EZOO in 2018.

EZOO provides electric vehicles via a salary sacrifice scheme – a way for employees to lease a vehicle, with the payments deducted from their monthly gross salary, saving on both tax and national insurance.

Businesses can sign up to EZOO, enabling employers to benefit from the scheme while also saving on their own national insurance contributions.

EZOO can offer any electric vehicle available in the UK, including budget, mid-range and premium models, with a specialism in the Porsche brand.

Uniquely, the business also has its own fleet of 200 electric vehicles to choose from, meaning that it can offer the shortest salary sacrifice term of just 12 months and consumers can receive a car seven to 14 days after selection.

EZOO has offices in Coventry, Kenilworth and Glasgow as well as individual team members across the country, catering for the whole of the UK.

It is now looking to grow its team in Coventry and is actively recruiting for a number of positions.

Lash said: “We are extremely pleased to be recruiting for new team members as we grow the business, and we would urge anyone interested to get in touch.

“The new Labour government’s renewed focus on electric vehicles as part of the drive towards Net Zero means that they are increasing in demand, and we anticipate that this is only going to continue.

“Salary sacrifice is one of the best kept secrets when it comes to vehicles, and can offer employees savings of up to 60 per cent made up of tax deductions based on their tax banding.

“For businesses, it not only saves on National Insurance contributions but can also help with staff recruitment and retention as well as ESG credentials, and we look after the whole implementation process.

“Our cars are available right across the UK, but being a Coventry-based business means that we can provide a very personal, hands-on service to businesses based across the region.

“We tailor deals to each individual before delivering the car, doing a full handover and also taking care of the home charging point if required.

“We work with businesses right across the UK – with one of our cars even located in Inverness - and are extremely pleased that Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce has also recently signed up to our scheme.

“We’re really keen on continuing to grow our business alongside other local businesses, while creating jobs for people across the area.”
