16th May 2024
The Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards, sponsored by Used Cars NI, has announced Ben as its charity of the year for 2024.
The awards ceremony being held on Thursday 7 November 2024 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belfast will see a high-specification Fiat 500 worth over £5k being auctioned off to the highest bidder in aid of Ben, the support service for people who work or have worked in the automotive industry.
The prize is available thanks to the kind support of City Auction Group who will also oversee the bidding on the night.
All proceeds donated to the charity will be put towards supporting colleagues from the automotive industry in Northern Ireland who are facing issues with their health and well-being.
Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement & Income at Ben, said: “We can’t thank Michael Tomalin CEO, City Auction Group and the organisers of the NI Motor Industry Awards enough for supporting Ben, the automotive industry charity. Together we will support people in our industry when they face life’s toughest challenges. The generosity of businesses, and their employees, helps ensure Ben is always there for them, and City Auction Group’s commitment will make a life-changing difference.”
Michael Tomalin, CEO City Auction Groupsaid: “We were delighted to be involved in the charity auction at the first ever Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards. This year we felt there was an opportunity to go even further to raise money for a great cause and what better way for City Auction Group to say thank you to the local industry than by supporting the work of Ben.”
