BEN has signed up its first Scottish participant for Dealers Backing BEN this week when The Phoenix Car Company enrolled in the scheme.

John McGuire's Group operates 20 dealerships from five sites in Central Scotland and he was quick to see the opportunity to support this new initiative, commenting;
"I'm pleased to be able to offer my support for this great initiative and help to increase awareness of our industry charity both in Phoenix and also in Scotland"

Nigel Williams, BEN's Head of National Development, said;
"The timing of the announcement that Phoenix have now agreed to join the Dealers Backing BEN initiative really couldn't have been better as it coincides with BEN recruiting two dedicated employees in Scotland; a Welfare Officer to provide care and advice to anybody who works or has worked in the automotive industries in Scotland and a Regional Fundraising Manager."

Launched just 4 weeks ago Dealers backing BEN is attracting some of the biggest Dealer names as the sector comes together to support the Industry Charity. The scheme allows participating dealers to contribute £1 to BEN from the sale proceeds of each car sold through the auctions.
