AFTERMARKET ON TOUR

10 days
100 garages
A unique fundraising journey

What?
On October 27th, Aftermarket editor Tom Mallens and website manager Simon Gardner will begin a 10-day journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats, visiting as many workshops as possible. They aim to visit at least 100 garages along the way and preferably more.

Why?
Tom and Simon will be raising money and awareness for the automotive charity BEN. BEN offers financial, emotional and practical help and support to more than 15,000 men, women and children in hardship or distress who work in the automotive sector.

During the journey they will build up a unique picture of the current state of the workshop industry, and will also be telling local newspapers, radio stations and anyone who cares to listen exactly how the automotive trade keeps this country’s economy rolling and why the men and women that make up the trade deserve their support

Want to show you care?
Those companies who pledge their support to BEN via Aftermarket On Tour will, of course, be recognised for their contribution in the pages of our magazine and on our website Aftermarket Network. It is a unique opportunity to show you care about those who use your products and services.
