Challenging is the word i'd use!

The company i work for is linked to Halfords and affiated companies but im struggeling to find any that i can buy a conversion kit through via the scheme
You'd have thought that the scheme would incorporate companies that specialise in just conversions.

Anyone have any advise?

The guidance document makes no mention of conversions, which suggests they are not eligible.

Given that employers own the equipment, not the employee, they would have a strong interest in ensuring it complies with the terms of the scheme.

I know that Woosh as on some schemes, probably worth contacting them to see if they are on yours.
It's possible that is only for their complete bikes and not kits.

Sorry if there are duplicates there, the server is playing up. They seem to have added an extra irritating animation while submitting a new post ... maybe to emphasize how slow the server is?

edit: This post submitted quite quickly; maybe they've fixed the issue.

Agreed the server is dreadful :)

Thanks I'll look into Woosh.

There are online retailers who ive contacted and are CTW scheme members and have supplied kits to customes via the scheme but ive not found one which is affiliated with the Halfords one which is who my company is with. :-( I guess ill just have to ring round a few.
