Pledges worth some half a million pounds have been made to automotive charity Ben after it revealed a 50 per cent rise in demand for its services against a £1m income drop.
The organisation issued an urgent plea for help, as reported by Car Dealer, and the industry has well and truly answered the rallying cry.
Companies and organisations including TrustFord, the IGA, Auto Trader, Motorvise, Marshall Motor Group, Arnold Clark, CDK, MC Group Ltd, Hills Ford and Chorley Motor Group have responded to its call, it said.
Marshall Motor Holdings Plc (LON:MMH), together with its subsidiaries, engages in retailing passenger cars and commercial vehicles in the United Kingdom. It sells new and used vehicles; and provides after sales services, such as servicing, body shop repairs, and parts sales.
