Default Governments Booost Scheme

I have been trying to get my work to take part in the Governments
Booost Scheme. This is were employees can purchase bikes through their
employer at up to 50% off the retail price.

Unfortunately why work is dragging their heels saying they are to busy
etc, etc.........

So has anyone managed to get a new bike through this scheme?
If so how much effort was involved?


TIA

Jamie

I did, for an employee. No effort was involved. It's an excellent and
very simple means of giving a bonus. Mind you, I'm not sure that Gordon
Brown was really thinking about £2500 cross-country mountain bikes...
