Big cheque! UK Garage and Bodyshop Event/Ben partnership raises funds

25 July 2022  

The UK Garage and Bodyshop Event has presented a cheque to Ben for £1,063, resulting from a partnership between show organisers Messe Frankfurt and the charity at this year’s show.

The money was raised through a combination of corporate donation and individual donations that Ben received from attendees at the show who took part in a video game racing challenge.

Receiving the funds on behalf of Ben, Head of Outreach, Health and Wellbeing for Ben Ellen Plumer said: “We are delighted to work in partnership with Messe Frankfurt, promoting the health and wellbeing message to attendees of the show, and this generous donation will enable us to offer life-saving help to more of those in our automotive community who really need our support.”

Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt UK Simon Albert, added: “BEN does incredible work within the automotive aftermarket sector, supporting the industry’s people to make positive changes and navigate the curveballs life can throw at us. We’re delighted to support such an important cause with our partnership at the first UK Garage and Bodyshop Event, which has raised some great funds.”
