Sarah Sillars, IMI Chief Executive

"When I started working with the IMI (The Institute of the Motor Industry) in 2002 I already had 12 years experience in the motor trade, but what I knew of BEN could be written on a postage stamp!

Once I started going to industry events I kept seeing the BEN team and began to hear of the excellent work they did for people across the motor and allied trades.  I began to learn more about how BEN helps, what BEN does and how expensive it is to run (£250,000 per week) - so I started to think about what I could do in a practical way. That's when I decided to join BENgold.

BENgold recognises those committed to giving that little bit extra, rather than just a one-off donation. My contribution is a small amount, but when added to those of my fellow members it makes a huge difference to those in need of BEN's care.

I urge you to please consider joining BENgold or supporting our industry charity in whatever way you can."
