ALD Automotive has announced that Soil Machine Dynamics (SMD) has appointed ALD Automotive to provide a salary sacrifice car scheme as part of its flexible staff benefits scheme.

Under the terms of the scheme named by SMD ‘SMD Rewards’, all permanent staff that have worked at the company for over six months, will be able to select brand new models with the latest high-specification extras.

Catherine Grout, project accountant at SMD, said that the salary sacrifice scheme was part of the organisation’s commitment to providing employees with the best choice of vehicle at competitive rates.

She said: “We selected ALD Automotive because of their ability to provide our employees with an online solution which makes choosing a vehicle a simple.

“Employees can use a comprehensive modelling package that details how much less tax and national insurance they could expect to pay when choosing a specific vehicle.”

Keith Allen, managing director of ALD Automotive UK, said: “For companies looking for innovative ways of recruiting, retaining and rewarding staff at no cost, ALD Automotive’s salary sacrifice scheme is the complete solution.”
