My Story

We’re Hitting the Road for Bangers4Ben 2025

This October, we’re swapping dashboards for dodgy gearboxes and CX data for questionable clutches, and taking part in Bangers4Ben 2025.

We’re joining the legendary rally alongside our friends and peers in the automotive world, and this year’s route isn’t for the faint-hearted. We’ll be tackling the breathtaking NC500, a winding, rugged, spectacularly scenic route around the Highlands of Scotland. In a car worth no more than £750. And yes, it has to survive. Kind of.

The theme is The Movies. And we’ve got big plans. Expect creativity, chaos, camaraderie … and possibly a mechanic on speed dial.

But behind the fun, the fancy dress and the (probably) failing suspension, is a cause that’s deeply important to us: Ben, the charity that supports people in the automotive industry through life’s toughest challenges.

Whether it’s mental health, financial hardship, or a family crisis, Ben provides confidential, life-changing support to the people who make our industry what it is, including those on the frontline of dealerships, contact centres and aftersales departments, just like our team and our clients.

We’re doing this because we believe in looking after our own. Because this industry isn’t just where we work, it’s where we’ve built relationships, careers and friendships. It’s our community. And Ben is there for that community when it needs it most.

So yes, we’ll be rattling our way from Edinburgh to Inverness in a beat-up old banger decorated like something straight off a Hollywood set. But we’ll also be raising money, raising awareness and flying the flag for an industry that looks after its people.

Stay tuned as we reveal our car, our costumes and our fundraising plans. And if you see us somewhere on the NC500, broken down on a layby with a smile on our faces … give us a wave.

Let’s do something unforgettable and do some real good along the way.
