Cycle to Work Scheme

The bike-to-work scheme offers an attractive employee benefit by encouraging staff to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle whilst making substantial savings on the cost of a bike and safety equipment.

The scheme is administered through a salary sacrifice / hire agreement and run in accordance with the Government's Green Travel Plan in partnership with Cyclescheme Ltd.

You can select any make or model bike up to a value of £4,000 through independent bike shops taking part in this scheme thereby providing business to local communities.

Low Emission Car Lease Scheme

King’s has partnered with Tusker, the UK’s leader in salary sacrifice cars, to give King’s employees the opportunity to run a new electric or hybrid car at lower rates.

Through Salary Sacrifice the lease is taken directly from your gross salary, so you’ll save on income tax and national insurance.
