Vauxhall car dealers raise record Ben donation
The Vauxhall Retailer Association has raised £100,000 for motor industry charity Ben – the largest donation ever raised for the benevolent fund by a car dealer network.
Ben is now planning to target other car franchises and dealer councils in a bid to generate additional funds.
“Although the UK franchised dealer network has seen some rationalisation over the past few years there are still a significant number of retail outlets and this presents a major opportunity for Ben,” said Gerard Barclay, the charity’s chief executive.
“I am keen to work with other automotive franchises and would like to meet with other dealer councils or franchise boards in early 2008 to discuss potential initiatives.”
