    Howards Defibrillator Training and Installation Initiative

    Howards are delighted to work with Donate for Defib WSM for the training and installation of six external Defibs registered on the circuit for the general public's use, as well as Howards employees.



Josh's life was saved over 23 years ago at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, now the Cardiologist who saved Josh's life is raising awareness of defibrillators with Josh and our team at Howards Motor Group.

Donate For Defib Weston-super-Mare Project is a project dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of defibrillators and raising funds to put further defibrillators out within the local community. They offer to put defibrillators in businesses and other locations to help save lives in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.

Professor Graham Stuart is working at the forefront with the Donate for Defib WSM Project team as the Project Clinical Lead Ambassador, enabling clinical guidance, innovation, and research to enhance the work going forward. Recently, both Josh and Graham visited us at Howards to discuss the importance of defibrillators and how they can be accessed. This visit is part of our broader initiative to install six external defibrillators and bleed kits at all defib locations across the towns we represent.

During their visit, they provided detailed demonstrations on how to properly perform CPR and explained the correct procedures that can save lives in emergencies. We also explored the effectiveness of bleed kits, highlighting their crucial role in situations where immediate medical intervention is necessary. These practical sessions underscored the critical need for widespread availability of both defibrillators and bleed kits, ensuring that our communities are better prepared to handle medical emergencies.

Their expertise and insights have been invaluable in advancing our project. With their support, we aim to not only equip ourselves with the necessary medical tools but also to educate the public on their use. By doing so, we hope to significantly improve the chances of survival in the event of sudden accidents, ultimately fostering a safer and more responsive community.

  • 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.
