Draft:Fleet Evolution

Fleet Evolution is a British salary sacrifice and fleet management company based in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Founded in 2010 by Andrew Leech, the company specialises in electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).[1][2]

Fleet Evolution launched the UK’s first electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme in 2012. [2]

History

Andrew Leech founded Fleet Evolution in 2010 after a career in financial services, taxation, and fleet management software, including roles at CFC Solutions and NorthgateArinso. The company was established to provide salary sacrifice car schemes to smaller businesses, a market segment that larger providers had largely overlooked. [1][2]

In 2012, Fleet Evolution introduced what it described as the UK’s first salary sacrifice scheme focused specifically on electric vehicles, at a time when the EV market was still in its infancy. [2]

In 2021, the company launched a streamlined scheme for micro businesses and new start‑ups, lowering the barriers to entry for organisations that had previously been excluded from salary sacrifice programmes.[3]

Fleet Evolution reported a record year in 2024, with sales reaching 102.5% of the previous 12 months. The company attributed the growth to lower vehicle rental costs, a wider choice of electric cars, and the continued availability of plug‑in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).[4][5]

Operations

Fleet Evolution’s customer base ranges from businesses with 3 employees to those with over 8,000, with a typical client having between 80 and 400 employees. The company is a member of the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA). [1][2]

The company’s salary sacrifice schemes allow employees to exchange a portion of their pre‑tax salary for the lease of a new electric vehicle, taking advantage of the UK government’s Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax incentives for zero‑emission vehicles.[6]

In 2025, Fleet Evolution was cited as a reference source in an HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) research report on employer attitudes towards salary sacrifice arrangements.[7]

Fleet Evolution also operates a workplace charging initiative, providing a free charge point to any client organisation where five or more employees take an electric car through the scheme. The company installed 80 workplace charge points during 2024.[8]

Apprenticeship Programme

Fleet Evolution has operated an apprenticeship‑based recruitment strategy since its founding. As of 2024, 75% of the company’s staff and four of its six‑person leadership team began their careers as apprentices. The company’s first apprentice, Charlotte Brooks, progressed to the role of general manager.[9]

In 2023, Fleet Evolution won the Excellence in People Development award at the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce Awards in recognition of its apprenticeship programme.[10]
