Eurotaxglass's Provide Additional Support to BEN

EurotaxGlass’s, Europe’s leading supplier of automotive business intelligence, will this month support the automotive sector’s best-known charity event, the BEN Annual Luncheon, for the 15th consecutive year.

This milestone comes at a significant time for the company, which is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the launch of its motor trade ‘bible’, Glass’s Guide To Car Values. To mark the anniversary, EurotaxGlass’s is producing a one-off Commemorative Guide, which will provide a fascinating insight into industry developments from the last 75 years. This special edition of the Guide will be sent to subscribers in July.

As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to BEN, EurotaxGlass’s will make a donation of £75 to the charity for every advert placed in the Commemorative Guide.

The relationship between BEN and EurotaxGlass’s started in 1993, when the two organisations came together to stage the charity’s first annual lunch. Since then, EurotaxGlass’s has provided support to enable BEN to offer financial, emotional and practical assistance to those associated with the automotive sector.

“At EurotaxGlass’s we are proud to continue our long association with the industry’s charitable organisation,” said Deven Thakrar, the company’s UK Managing Director. “By sponsoring the first lunch 15 years ago, we were able to assist BEN in setting up what has become one of the major events in the automotive calendar and a key date for industry figureheads and decision-makers.

“We are committed to backing BEN further this year, and will donate £75 for every advertisement which appears in our Commemorative Guide. Companies wishing to support this initiative are encouraged to get in touch with our sales team.”

The BEN Annual Luncheon will be held on Wednesday 21 May at Drapers Hall, London.     More information about BEN can be found on www.ben.org.uk.
