Charity cash raised
December 9th, 2009 by Richard Aucock
PRINCE’S Trust beneficiaries have been boosted by a 6-month campaign by two industry big-hitters.
HPI and Marshall Motor Group have been donating 50p for every Driveaway policy signed up.
The total has just broken the £100,000 mark!
Grateful recipient of the cash is the Prince’s Trust Business Programme, which provides loans to youngsters just starting out in business.
Christopher Walkinshaw, business development director of Marshall Motor Group, said: ‘In our 100th year, we wanted to ensure we gave something back, as well as celebrating the success of the business.’ Hence the fundraising drive, he explained.
‘However, it would not have been possible to smash our target without the help of valued partners such as HPI, whose generous contribution has ensured that we can really make a difference.’
‘We were delighted to be able to help Marshall achieve their goal’, automotive director of HPI, Daniel Burgess, replied in turn.
‘Our Driveaway product was revolutionary when launched 5 years ago and we are thrilled that we are still finding flexible and innovative ways to both drive business and help a worthy charity.’
Just a little donated each month helped Marshall reach its mega total, said Burgess. Proof of the long-standing relationship the two have.
It’s now even easier to sign up, too. Recently, HPI Driveaway has been enhanced by the new ‘Web & Call’ contact method which increases efficiency and significantly reduces a customer’s ‘talk time’ with the call centre.
