CLOSE Motor Finance raised a staggering £25,000 for automotive industry charity BEN as part of the company’s 25th anniversary.
The company recently presented chief operating officer Nigel Rothband with a cheque for the full amount.
Close Motor Finance worked tirelessly with its employees and dealer partners throughout 2013 to hit the £25,000 target. Lots of different activities took place, including 25-kilometre walks, bake sales, chest waxes, dress-down days and bike rides.
MD James Broadhead said: ‘There was a phenomenal response to supporting BEN for 2013. I’m thankful to all our employees who got behind the cause. In particular, I would like to thank all our dealer partners who have got involved in various ways throughout the year.’
Mr Rothband said: ‘It’s been fabulous to form such a great partnership with Close Motor Finance over the past year and long may it continue. We have a lot of exciting things planned with the money they have raised from the fundraising work they’ve done. From everyone at BEN, thank you.’
Close Motor Finance provides motor finance for new and used cars, motorbikes and light commercial vehicles in partnership with more than 8,000 dealerships.
