Corporate Bicycles
THE 2012 LONDON OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES IS AROUND THE CORNER…ARE YOU TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MILLIONS OF EXTRA VISITORS AND WORLD-WIDE MEDIA ATTENTION.
Google bought 2, 000 bikes for staff as a thank you for their hard work. Employees can now ride to work free of charge. Ikea gifted 9000 folding bikes to its staff and Yahoo gave its staff a gorgeous bike so they could cycle to work.
Bicycles fit perfectly with companies looking for genuine green credentials. Is your organisation becoming more engaged in corporate responsibility, green transport plans and cycle-friendly workplaces?
QUOTE:
Liane Hornsey, director of human resources and staffing for Google Europe, Middle East and Africa summarises the benefits to employees:
“We think that these amazing bikes will help Googlers keep fit and healthy, get to know their city better and reduce the environmental impact of their journey to work.”

If you have a corporate cycling requirement, or require green travel plan advice (or if you’re an existing cyclist looking to get some ammunition to take to your HR manager), then please email; anddutch@gmail.com or call on 07983 768 337 for more information on cycles and cycling accessories.
Our bicycle range can be implemented into your corporate structure 2 ways:
As a secondary benefit to staff (very popular)
As a corporate customised option
All our beautiful bicycles & accessories as a secondary benefit to your staff:
A great way to introduce cycling to staff, reduce carbon footprint and and showcase your organisations green credentials is to provide our STUNNING AND MOSTLY EXCLUSIVE bicycles & accessories as a secondary benefit to your employees throughout the organisation.
How does it work?
We decided to provide an easy and simple alternative to the current cycle-to-work-scheme. And of course we would like to share this alternative with you.. please send us an email requesting for a more detailed overview as to how this scheme works.
Your company may already be part of a cycle-to-work-scheme; however placing us under this newly set-up to the employees rather than the very rigid and strict complex guidelines under the cycle-to-work-scheme is a great way of introducing cycling within your organisation.
Our scheme can provide greater flexibility in terms of:
Ownership – The employee is the owner from start unlike cycle-to-work-scheme where it is leased with a (non mandatory) option to buy it against a residual price from the employer.
Variety in high quality and mostly exclusive bicycle and accessory brands
No limitations on the amount you can spend as it is possible to top up the loan to any final value
One could buy bicycles/accessories for yourself, on behalf of family and/or friends – they do not have to be a staff member
Purchases are not subjected to work usage. It can also be purchased for leisure or gift purposes
No limitations on the number of items you can purchase
No final one–off payment to own your bicycle – unlike cycle-to-work-schemes
This opportunity is available 365 days a year
Worried about TAX & HMRC
Rest assured this alternative is within the HMRC guidelines and has been referenced and verified by auditor PWC. We do encourage you to speak to your local HMRC adviser and/or auditor/payroll as how to best implement this scheme into your organisation.
Since our launch, we already have had great success by implementing this great scheme to various organisations, ranging from 10 to 5, 000 staff members.
Why purchase corporate customised bicycles?
And dutch can offer 4 bicycle brands namely: Dutch Town bicycles; Burgers, Chainless & Folding bicycles; Beixo, Urban-City bicycles; Vanmoof, and fixed gear Foffa to companies to encourage all cycling initiatives and healthy & happier lifestyles for employers and employees alike, as well as B2C or B2B customer initiatves (E.g employee loyalty or reward schemes). This option will also provide another, relatively low cost, addition to the “green credentials” of your company.
The principle of corporate bicycles is the same as providing your employees with a companies’ laptop or mobile phone, or your customers with a present or alternative. When providing corporate bicycles to empoyees it remains a part of your company and will be available to your employees to come and go, and on this occasion, on first-come, first-serve basis. It will mean a unique and easy accessible form of transportation option for your employees to travel to-and-from their house to your company (or station), reducing rather stressful journey times.
The added advantages is 2-fold;
A company bicycle that is seen as a representation of your company, a visual identity (like a business card)
A company bicycle that is used as a marketing tool
A bicycle as your business card
