Kier is to install EV chargepoints at its UK offices to support the growing number of its employees who drive electric vehicles.
The contractor has struck a three-year deal with EV charging firm Pod Point. Pod Point will supply chargepoint installations at Kier’s offices, including six twin 7kW chargepoints at its UK headquarters in Sandy, Bedfordshire.
Meanwhile, Kier has also been testing electric vans for its commercial fleet.
Anthony Parish, group director of Fleet for Kier, said: “More and more of our workforce are interested in and opting to drive electric cars and we are delighted to support this movement by working with Pod Point as one of our preferred suppliers to install charging points across the country.
“We are committed to offering travel solutions that enable our diverse business and workforce to conduct its work in an environmentally responsible manner and it supports our overall company vision and strategy to reduce our use of energy 30%, by 2030.”
Erik Fairbairn, CEO and founder of Pod Point, said: “At Pod Point we’ve launched some exciting products to support largescale chargepoint installations, such as our Array Charging load balancing system. To be chosen as a preferred supplier by companies like Kier is testament to our product innovation and dedication to offering the best possible customer experience.”
