    Howards Competition Winner Goes the Extra Mile

    As part of National Pet Month, we celebrated by giving one lucky competition winner a pamper hamper! And the winner is...

On our Facebook and Twitter pages in May we gave away a Pet Pamper Hamper as part of National Pet Month. The lucky winner was Alison Davies in Bristol, who was delighted to hear that the photo of her dogs Otis and Basil had been selected as the winning entry.

As an avid dog lover, Alison is heavily involved in a number local dog charity initiatives and has decided to donate her prize to raise funds at an upcoming event for the Mutts With Friends Charity, a non-profit dog rescue that is dedicated to helping unwanted and abandoned dogs in the surrounding areas of Bristol and Bath.

Howards is really pleased that the prize is going to do some good for our four-legged friends and as we have many staff who are pet owners within our dealerships, we think Mutts with Friends is a superb organisation and we look forward to hearing about the event’s success.

The hamper, which includes a selection of dog-friendly gifts and treats such as Herbal Dog Tea and Breakfast Crunch, will form part of a raffle at animal rehabilitation centre Chapel Farm, with the winner announced at the Chapel Farm Dog Show, taking place on the 23rd of August. All proceeds of the show and raffle will be donated to Mutts With Friends.

  • 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.
