Warp Snacks opts for EV salary sacrifice scheme with Fleet Alliance

Healthy snacks manufacturer Warp Snacks has launched an electric car salary sacrifice scheme for employees in partnership with Glasgow-based fleet management and leasing provider Fleet Alliance. The initiative aims to expand employee benefits while contributing to the company’s environmental goals.

Formed in 2021 from the merger of Eat Real and PROPER Snacks, Warp Snacks operates a factory in Nuneaton with around 250 manufacturing staff and 80 office employees. The company also has a brand hub in Central London, employing an additional 60 people.

The salary sacrifice scheme, introduced in January as part of Warp Snacks’ People and Planet goals, is available to approximately 130 eligible staff across various teams, including People, IT, Operations, Product Development, Technical, and Sales and Marketing.

Eleanor Sheehan (pictured) from the people team at Warp Snacks said: “We’re always looking at ways to introduce new and exciting benefits for our teams.

“The decision to implement a salary sacrifice car scheme was ongoing when I joined the company last August, so I picked up the project quite late in the game and have been responsible for its implementation.

“As a leading EV provider, Fleet Alliance was always high on our list. I had worked with another supplier previously at another company and did not have a great experience. So, I was very keen to find a better provider that could address my concerns, which were mostly around good customer service and support.

“Fleet Alliance fits the bill perfectly, and our account managers, Scott Russell and Joe Mulford, have been great in the level of support and information they provide us with.”

Following company-wide communications in January and a dedicated EV launch meeting, interest in the scheme has been high. Charging units have also been installed at the company’s car park to encourage uptake.
