  • Since 2021 we've embarked on a mission to create a culture powered by people impact and change. Our colleagues have acheived a lot since then, and we've come a long way together to create a better future for all. As we look forward to the year ahead, we're proud to say that since 2021: 👨🏿🦲 Representation of under-represented ethnic groups has increased at group level for the second consecutive year to 12%. ✔️ +3% YoY of under-represented ethnic groups in Heads of and Director populations. ♀️ 38% female representation in Heads of population. 🏳️🌈 We're proud to represent LGBTQIA+ across all areas of Zenith. This year was the first since the launch of our inclusion mission that we achieved representation that mirrors or exceeds the UK LGTBQIA+ population, in every single division of the business. ⭐ We continue to provide more opportunities for those aged under-24 for the third year running. Greater diversity at Zenith means better ideas, a more inclusive culture, and improved business performance. We wouldn't be able to make a difference in the way we work without the support of our colleagues, customers and suppliers. People powered impact is driven by the community we serve.

  • Here's why 2025 will be the best opportunity for employers AND employees to join a salary sacrifice scheme. 💡 The popularity of salary sacrifice has soared in recent years, with businesses registering for schemes growing +63% YoY in the third quarter of 2023. The way we travel has evolved on an unprecendented scale, and how employees view their role and rewards has too - it's how benefits influence employees to choose who they work that's making the difference. Not only that, but with new tax and NI changes taking shape in 2025, exploring the many benefits of salary sacrifice as an employee perk will be invaluable to SMEs. With the increase in employer NI rate (rising from 13.8% to 15% from April 2025), salary sacrifice also offers a way for employers to potentially offset their own costs. How does it work ❓ Salary sacrifice occurs pre-tax, reducing the level of taxable income for both the employee and employer. This means SMEs could mitigate some of the extra costs associated with rising NI contributions. Not only that, but employees can benefit even further when driving an EV. 👇 ✅ BiK rates remain at an ultra-low 2%* 🔋 Over 73,000 public charging points available in the UK There's never been a better time to make the switch to a sustainable future. 🌍 Learn more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQT49Key *Fixed until April 2025. From April 2025, the BiK rate will increase by 1% every year until 2028.

  • It's easy to make changes that only benefit yourself. It's even easier to simply talk about how you'd do it. The hard part is influencing others to follow your vision and make changes themselves. 💭 We're proud to support our supply chain not only economically as a business, but as people who recognise the impact we have on others and the world around us. We've been delivering The Carbon Literacy Project training to some of our most trusted suppliers - the feedback received and passion we've shared on the journey together is nothing short of remarkable. It's fantastic to see so many of our partners working together to create a healthier planet for all - we thank them for their continued commitment. 🤝 “I genuinely think it was brilliant and the most useful, impactful, and enjoyable training i've attended in as long as i can remember.” - Jenna Tranter, Kwik-Fit (GB) Ltd “Both Fiona and Mark were fantastic hosts who really knew their stuff and more so, were clearly passionate about delivering their message.” - Dave Whitehouse, Halfords Learn more about our Planet Focus here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e7HwTHd7

  • Congratulations to our Remarketing Manager Olivia Mills who was today named as an Automotive 30% Club Inspiring Automotive Women Award Winner of 2025! 🏆   Olivia has been the chair our Gender focus group since 2021, helping ensure all colleagues feel understood and supported, which ultimately helps to develop strong allyship across the group.   In the time Olivia has led our focus group, the outcomes have had a proven impact:  - ️Over 40% of our leadership roles are held by women ✅ -️ Our gender pay gap has reduced every year, and is now one of the lowest in the industry, and halved since 2021 📉 -️ 54% of promotions have gone to women with 63% in senior leadership positions in the last 12 months ⭐   And, in the words of our CPO, Stuart Price FCIPD: "Since I joined Zenith, I’ve seen first hand how passionate and driven Olivia is not only as a leader, but as a trailblazing advocate of gender equality. She not only supports women, but also men - working with the whole business to identify the opportunities for everyone to thrive. "I firmly believe that colleagues like Olivia are a perfect example of the huge value the experiences and skills of women in our industry can bring to the table."   Congratulations Olivia! This award is more than deserved, because without your commitment to supporting equal opportunities, providing tools that empower women to be the best version of themselves, and your leadership of our Gender Focus Group, we at Zenith wouldn’t have achieved the successes we have.

  • We aren't just talking the talk, we're walking the walk. 🚶 It's our mission to demonstrate that not only are we able to contribute to the successful growth and mobility of the automotive industry, but to prove that we can also help create a healthier planet for all and decarbonise the UK vehicle parc by eliminating tailpipe emissions. Thanks to the support of our customers, colleagues and supply chain, in FY24 we reduced our car emissions by 20% in comparison to FY23. We're incredibly proud to set the bar for our peers and invite the community onboard our journey to collaborate for a better future. 🌎 Learn more about our vision 👉 https://lnkd.in/e7HwTHd7

  • Ever thought about joining a company car scheme? In case you were wondering, here are just a few of the top benefits you could enjoy as the driver of a brand-new company car. 💡 Your employer takes care of the everyday hassle - this means that ordering the car as well as sorting things such as maintenance and service costs are taken care of for you. ⭐ Depending on your employer's scheme, insurance is often covered and included as part of your company car package. It's a hassle-free perk at its finest. 💲 Take advantage of low BiK rates. Benefit-in-kind tax is usually a small percentage of the car's overall cost. That means that if you choose an electric car or hybrid (for example), then you could be able to take advantage of BiK rates as low as 2%!* 🚗 Stay ahead of the curve with a new car. Company cars are usually changed every two to four years, which means you can enjoy all the tech innovations and safety features of the latest models. Find out more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eu-dQHwW You will not own the car. T&Cs and exclusions apply, check your scheme policy for details. Subject to eligibility. Savings dependent on tax band and vehicle model. BiK rate only 2% until April 2025 then increases 1% pa for 3 years. Prices may vary.
