• Employee discount, with up to 60% off your garage bills at Halfords Autocentre
• Discount on Halfords Breakdown Cover, with bike cover as standard for all annual policies
• Discounts on everything from groceries and shopping through to holidays, insurance, days out, restaurants and more

• Fantastic Trade Price Bike Scheme - buy one bike per year from a range of bikes which have been significantly reduced
