Other ways Manheim raised cash for the charities included a visit by Peter Lee, the Chairman of The Ford Transit Club, who took to the Colchester rostrum to auction two copies of his Transit 50th birthday book. More than £1,000 was raised from this and other non-auction fundraising activities, including The Great Manheim Bake Off cake sale and a generous donation from the PJM Group.
James Davis, Manheim’s Director of Commercial Vehicles and Matthew Davock, Manheim’s Head of LCV, hit the road in two specially branded Transits on Manheim’s ‘Backbone of Britain’ Tour, to support the fortnight of auction events.
“We set ourselves a fundraising target of £10,000, so we are absolutely thrilled to have beaten it by such a big margin – and have enormous fun in the process,” said James Davis. “The generosity of our employees, suppliers and customers was simply fantastic, and we could not have achieved this result without them. Most importantly, we know that the money raised will be greatly appreciated by the charities.”
