Halfords has made changes to its cycle-to-work product, effectively speeding up the process by which employees can register and purchase a new bicycle.

Its service will now track applications in real time so that employers can provide their staff with same-day registration, application and letter of collection, which can be taken to one of over 467 Halfords locations across the UK to immediately acquire a bike.

Keith Scott, head of Halfords Business Services, said: “We continue to invest to make it easier for employers and employees to benefit from the great savings to be had through Cycle2work.

“By launching a complete package that is guaranteed to be tax-compliant and extremely efficient we hope to encourage more employers than ever before to make this health and fitness and travel cost-saving benefit available to their employees.”
