John D Wood & Co. are making a move to electric with their fleet of company vehicles.

The prime estate agent with offices across London and South of England will no longer offer petrol or diesel vehicles to their employees, and the internal response has been overwhelmingly positive with an immediate 87% take up of the new scheme.

As well as the positive impact on the environment, financial factors such as ULEZ charges and increasing parking costs in the capital have also played a part in the decision to make the change.

Polly Ogden Duffy, Managing Director at John D Wood & Co. said: “Now feels like the right time to be bold and make this move. Our teams fully support the shift to electric and are proud that we are making these changes. Perhaps, the biggest surprise is that our most traditional agents have embraced the change with such positivity. We encourage more businesses to do the same.”
