Zenith retains SSE fleet contract until 2030

Zenith has renewed its fleet contract with energy company SSE until 2030, extending a partnership that has already run for eight years.

The agreement follows an 18-month competitive tender process and will see Zenith continue to provide vehicle leasing and fleet management services across SSE’s company car and salary sacrifice fleet, which currently comprises more than 3,500 vehicles.

Zenith has also retained its rental management agreement with SSE and will continue to manage associated in-life vehicle services.

The fleet management and vehicle outsourcing provider will support SSE as it continues its energy transition, with a focus on increasing the number of electric vehicles across its fleet.

Simon Gray, Head of Fleet Services at SSE, said: “We are pleased to continue our longstanding relationship with Zenith following a competitive tender process. Over the past eight years, Zenith has developed a strong understanding of our fleet requirements and has provided valued support across our company car, salary sacrifice and rental management arrangements.

“As we continue to evolve our fleet and support SSE’s wider net zero ambitions, maintaining a collaborative and service-focused partnership will be important in delivering a positive experience for our drivers and achieving our future objectives. We look forward to working with Zenith and building on the progress already made.”

Zenith said providing both company car and salary sacrifice services enables SSE to offer employees greater flexibility when choosing a leased vehicle, while simplifying the management of the two schemes.

Andy Wolff, Managing Director of Zenith’s Corporate division, said: “We’re excited to work with SSE for another five years.

“It reflects SSE’s continued trust in our team and services, highlighting how our expertise, service, and tailored solutions continue to set us apart in the market, as well as demonstrating the benefits available to a fleet when combining company fleet with a car salary sacrifice benefit.

“Being able to offer SSE both company car and salary sacrifice solutions ultimately provides SSE and its employees with a better user experience. It streamlines the approach to having a leased car, providing drivers with the flexibility to make an informed decision that is right for them and SSE.

“We look forward to building on our longstanding partnership and helping SSE further enhance their company car and salary sacrifice fleet.”
