Write a commentBike Break for Autoline Staff
The Autoline Group is encouraging staff in all its regional offices to get fitter this year by signing up to the cycle scheme which provides tax free bikes for work.
The government backed initiative aims to encourage more commuting by bike and offers huge savings on a bike hired from your employer.
Those participating in the scheme can choose any make or model of bike from over 1000 local shops in the UK and pay for it with agreed monthly deductions from their salary - offering savings of 30 - 50% off the suggested retail prices for the bike and safety equipment.
MD Michael Blaney says: “We have a number of keen cyclers in Autoline and last year 15 staff members from five offices across NI took part in a 100 mile charity cycle which demonstrates an interest in this initiative. We’d hope to encourage more staff to commute by bike as a result of backing the Cyclescheme.
“This also encourages more exercise which matches well with our health policy as we also subsidise gym membership for all staff.
Through the scheme bikes can also be used at weekends and holidays so we hope to see a good uptake of this offer.”
In this region the appointed Cyclescheme stores are:
Border City Cycles in the Mill Industrial Estate, Bessbrook
Bridge End Bikes
Revolution
J P Quinn Cycles
and JMC Cycles.
