About Searchland
Searchland is the UK’s leading digital platform for sourcing and evaluating land opportunities. They provide property data and mapping tools for land developers, investors, planners, and agents.
The challenge
Searchland were looking to introduce an employee benefit that was simple to use and easy for HR to manage.
The goal was to provide access to electric vehicles while keeping administration low and ensuring a smooth internal process.
Why they chose EZOO
The team valued the clarity, simplicity and personal support provided throughout the process.
EZOO made it easier to understand how salary sacrifice would work in practice and how it could be introduced internally.

How the Scheme Was Introduced
First conversation and vehicle guidance
Henry was the first employee to join the scheme. EZOO's Salary Sacrifice Lead, Hiten guided him through the process from the start. Rather than presenting endless options, we asked practical questions around lifestyle, budget, daily driving and future plans to narrow down the right vehicle.
Audi e-tron Quattro Black Edition
Based on those conversations, Henry chose the Audi e-tron SUV. Spacious, refined and suited to family life. EZOO then sourced a Quattro Black Edition model that sat within his monthly budget.
A working example for the wider team
As the first on the scheme, Henry gave the business a real example of how the process worked in practice. Collaborative, practical and introduced with confidence from the start.
No stress, no sales pitch
"Choosing a new car can be stressful. 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." - Henry, first employee on the scheme

Results and Outcome
Since taking delivery, Henry has become an internal advocate for salary sacrifice at Searchland, with colleagues now exploring the scheme for themselves. What started as one car has helped build confidence in the benefit across the business.
"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."
From the business side, Gabrielle Corcoran, HR & Office Manager at Searchland, has seen the same. "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."
Audi E-tron worth ~£90,000
Henry is now driving a brand new Audi e-tron Quattro Black Edition worth around £90,000 through the salary sacrifice scheme.
~£550 per month, all-in
The total monthly cost is approximately £550 per month, and includes insurance, breakdown cover, servicing, and road tax.
First employee, now an internal advocate
As the first employee on the scheme, Henry gave Searchland a working example of how the process runs, helping the business introduce it with confidence.
"Paying roughly £650 per month for everything – insurance, breakdown, the lot – it just makes sense. I got the car I wanted, with all the extras, and I'm saving compared to what I would have paid privately."
— Rob McLeod, Chief Customer Officer, DCS
I remember when we were reviewing our benefits, one thing that really stood out as a great fit for our team was EZOO. I reached out to a few providers and got through to Hiten at EZOO, whose professionalism was clear from the start. He came in to meet the team and has since done a few show-arounds, which gave everyone a lot of clarity on how it all works.
They’ve been a great company to work with, offering transparency and ease on both the employer and employee side

Personal support that turned a first employee into an advocate
This shows how salary sacrifice can be introduced to a growing business through a personal, guided approach.
For Searchland, EZOO handled the scheme setup, employee presentation and ongoing support. For the first employee on the scheme, it provided access to a brand new Audi e-tron Quattro Black Edition with practical guidance around lifestyle, budget and vehicle choice.
EZOO continues to provide support throughout the lease, with colleagues at Searchland now exploring the scheme for themselves.
The result was a straightforward experience, a collaborative process, and a scheme that continues to grow across the business.
