Zenith will work with Zurich to achieve its target of no petrol or diesel vehicles on its fleet by the end of 2025

The contract, which initially began in 2020, will see Zenith continue to provide vehicle leasing solutions for Zurich’s 1,221-strong salary sacrifice and company car fleet for a further four years.

The new deal also includes a free six-month trial of downtime management for Zurich’s essential car users. This will provide a more proactive service, with Zenith working with manufacturers and dealerships to reduce Zurich’s off-road time and daily rental costs.

Steve Collinson, chief HR officer at Zurich, said: “We value the positive engagement and solid collaboration we have experienced with Zenith over the last four years.

“This partnership has contributed to enhancing our operational efficiency and service delivery, while also supporting our sustainability goals. We look forward to continuing our collaboration over the next four years, with confidence in achieving further innovations and successes.”

Andy Wolff, commercial director of Zenith’s corporate division, commented: “At Zenith, we pride ourselves on our long-standing partnerships with customers, with the average tenure spanning more than a decade, so we’re delighted to continue working with Zurich for four more years.

“Our expertise in managing large vehicle fleets and helping customers transition to net zero means we’ve been able to build on a proposition which helps to reflect Zurich’s business needs.

“We’re proud to be able to support more Zurich drivers [to] start their EV journey.”
