Bluepoppy Launches “CleanDrive” – A Dedicated Salary Sacrifice EV Scheme for the Contract Cleaning & FM Sector

Bristol, UK — 8th December 2025 — Bluepoppy Vehicle Solutions today announced the launch of CleanDrive, the UK’s first fully tailored Salary Sacrifice Electric Vehicle (EV) programme designed specifically for the Contract Cleaning and Facilities Management (FM) sectors.

The initiative, supported by Bluepoppy’s industry-leading mobility platform FleetGenie, provides cleaning and FM employers with a unique solution to some of their most persistent challenges — workforce retention, recruitment pressures, transport reliability, and increasing ESG requirements across public and private sector contracts.

Addressing real workforce challenges

The cleaning sector faces one of the highest employee turnover rates in the UK, with churn averaging between 35% and 65%. Many frontline staff also struggle to access affordable, reliable vehicles through traditional credit routes.

CleanDrive directly addresses these issues by giving employees access to a brand-new or used electric vehicle through a tax-efficient salary sacrifice model. Packages include insurance, servicing, tyres, breakdown cover and maintenance — with no upfront costs.

For employees, this results in £150–£350 in monthly savings compared to a typical private lease, bringing EVs within reach for the first time.

A commercial and ESG advantage for employers

For cleaning and FM employers, CleanDrive unlocks a range of strategic benefits:

• £45–£65 monthly employer NIC saving per vehicle

• Reduced staff turnover and better retention

• Improved punctuality and reliability across client sites

• Stronger sustainability credentials for NHS, Council, Education and Corporate FM tenders

• Full onboarding, compliance and admin support

A typical cleaning company with 500 employees and just 5% scheme participation can save £13,500–£19,500 per year in NIC alone.

Backed by FleetGenie mobility intelligence

CleanDrive is tightly integrated with FleetGenie, Bluepoppy’s DVSA-compliant mobility and driver management platform. Employers gain access to:

• Driver licence checks

• Vehicle checks

• Depot & site-level oversight

• Predictive maintenance alerts

• Safety and compliance reporting

• Optional integration with CO₂ & energy tracking

This positions CleanDrive as the most comprehensive mobility solution currently available to the Contract Cleaning and FM sectors.

A new standard for workforce wellbeing

Claire Green, Director of Bluepoppy, commented:

“The cleaning sector’s workforce is the backbone of UK businesses, hospitals, schools and public spaces — yet too many frontline staff face real transport challenges. CleanDrive gives employers a meaningful benefit that genuinely supports their teams while delivering clear commercial and ESG value. It’s a win for employees, employers and the environment.”

Availability

CleanDrive is available immediately to Contract Cleaning and FM employers across the UK, with onboarding options for organisations ranging from 50 to 5,000+ employees.
