    Howards Are Proud Sponsors Of The Mendip Challenge 2018

    Howards Motor Group are the proud sponsors of the Mendip Challenge 2018! A great event to help raise money for local charity Weston Hospicecare.


On Sunday the 3rd of June, residents of Somerset, North Somerset (and beyond) will be coming together to take part in a fantastic opportunity to raise money for Weston Hospicecare. This exciting event is specifically for those looking to have fun, challenge themselves and do something for a good cause!


The Mendip Challenge is set to be a really great day and Howards Motor Group are  really proud to be the main sponsor for the event! Over 800 people joined the challenge across the Mendip hills last year resulting in a really fun, exciting and successful event!


This is a great day out for any and all with a variety of routes and distances to suit. The 30, 20 and 10 mile options provide the perfect opportunity to bring the whole family (dogs included) no matter what their ability. This means even more of you can raise money for a good cause, as the entire event is in aid of Weston Hospicecare.

Peter Coleman Howards Chairman is a keen advocate of supporting local business and charities in the South West:

“Howards Motor Group is delighted to be sponsoring the Weston Hospicecare’s Mendip Challenge 2018.  As a business we thrive on getting involved with our local community as well as raising money for this hard-working charity on which so many people depend. 

​It is ​an ​exciting ​sponsored ​event ​for ​those ​looking ​to ​have ​fun, ​challenge ​themselves ​and ​raise ​money ​for ​Weston ​Hospicecare. ​The ​routes ​- ​30, ​20 or ​10 miles ​- ​are ​open ​to ​all ​individuals, ​teams, ​families ​and ​dogs ​and ​take ​you ​along ​the ​West ​Mendip ​Way ​in ​the ​Somerset ​hills. ​

We wish every success to all the participants who are taking part  and in particular to the many Howards colleagues, friends and family who will be participating”.

Throughout the walk, you will find support from back-walker's, support vehicles, marshalled checkpoints and first aid support, and at the end, participants will receive a finisher’s medal and entry to the post-event party, where you can buy food, drink and wind down, all whilst admiring an edition from our Lotus range.  


This is not the first time Howards have sponsored Weston Hospicecare, last year we were involved with our very own team taking part!

We've also been the sponsors of other fun fundraising events previously, including their Midnight Beach, Neon Five and the Colour Run were all fantastic fundraising events in which Howards were involved.

Weston Hospicecare provides life-changing care and assistance for both local people who are experiencing life limiting illnesses and their loved ones. The great work they do across our region is why they have been one of our chosen charities for a long time.

The work that Weston Hospicecare does is extremely important and integral to our community, offering much needed support to those who need it the most. Unfortunately only 21% of the care they provide is paid for by the NHS and that is why we help organise great events like this.


That’s where you come in…

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

    Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
