Honk if you’re happy: All aboard the new BenBus

Ben has hit the road in its new branded BenBus, which will be used to increase the charity’s visibility and raise awareness of its life-changing support.

 The BenBus is a branded VW Transporter campervan and the Ben on the Road team has already visited companies in Guildford with food and drinks, encouraging employees to get together for a chat. While in the town, the team also dropped in on the UK Garage and Body Shop show team.

Ellen Plumer, Head of Marketing and Outreach at Ben, said: “We’re delighted to be unveiling our new BenBus which will raise further awareness about the vital services we provide for our automotive family. Visibility is hugely important as our team is on the road all year-round visiting companies to spread the word about Ben and see those who need to hear about their industry charity. Knowing about Ben can make all the difference. If you see the bus out the road, give us a honk!”

The charity is now also offering automotive industry companies the opportunity to ‘back the BenBus’ by sponsoring the vehicle. To book a visit from the BenBus or to find out more about sponsorship, visit:  www.ben.org.uk/BOTR
