When Henry Levison, Senior Sales Director at Searchland, started looking for a new family car, he knew he wanted something bigger, smarter, and more future-proof. With a growing family, he needed the space and comfort of a premium SUV, but he also wanted to make the switch to electric without blowing the budget.
That’s where EZOO stepped in with their EV salary sacrifice scheme.
Making the switch simple
Searchland, the UK’s leading digital platform for sourcing and evaluating land opportunities, recently introduced EV salary sacrifice as part of their employee benefits package. Partnering with EZOO meant their team could access electric cars for far less, with insurance, servicing, breakdown cover, and road tax all included.
Henry was the first to take up the benefit, and EZOO’s Salary Sacrifice Lead, Hiten Patel, guided him through the whole process.
“Hiten asked all the right questions,” says Henry. “Things I hadn’t even thought about, like how our family might grow, or what my daily driving really looks like. It stopped me getting lost in endless options and helped me focus on what mattered.”
The perfect match
After considering his lifestyle, budget, and future plans, Henry settled on the Audi e-tron SUV – spacious, refined, and ideal for family life. EZOO then sourced a Quattro Black Edition model that fit perfectly with his monthly budget.
“Choosing a new car can be stressful,” Henry admits. “But EZOO turned it into a collaboration, not a sales pitch. They helped me step into a top-end model at a monthly price that made complete sense.”
When the car arrived, it even came with a personalised welcome pack – a touch that made the whole experience feel special.
Driving change at Searchland
Since taking delivery, Henry has become an internal ambassador for salary sacrifice at Searchland, encouraging colleagues to make the switch.
“It’s the smartest way to drive an EV,” he says. “You save money, you get looked after, and you end up with a car that feels right for you. I’d recommend it to anyone.”
Gabrielle Coriolan, HR & Office Manager at Searchland, agrees:
“EZOO has made it easy for us to offer salary sacrifice. They’ve been transparent, supportive, and brilliant with our team. It’s been a great partnership.”
Why it worked
For Henry, it wasn’t just about the car. It was about having someone to lean on through a big decision. EZOO’s personal, human-first approach made sure he ended up with an EV that ticks every box – now, and for the future.
This EV salary sacrifice case study shows how simple, affordable, and personal the switch to electric can be.
“This was a case of right place, right time. Gabrielle was in the market to look for an offering that allowed ease of use for the employee, minimal admin for HR and risk protection. But importantly adding a strong benefit that showed their team they are going beyond tick box benefits.”
