We would like to take this time to congratulate Jason Jones, from Howards Peugeot/Hyundai Yeovil for completing a 310 mile bike ride in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

The Ride24 event started in Newcastle at 11am on Saturday 22nd and finished on Sunday the 23rd of August, in London. Around 400 people took part in the event, with the aim of completing the challenge within 24 hours, arriving at the finish line in Smithfield Market, London.

The scenic route took the cyclists through Tyne and past the Angel of the North, which carried along into the windy Yorkshire Hills, through York and then onto Humber and the flat Lincolnshire countryside. After passing through remote villages and quiet English countryside, the cyclists eventually reached the capitals skyline where the finish line awaited them.

After cycling all day and night, Jason made it to the finish line at 9:37am on the Sunday with a final time of 22 hours and 37 minutes. Only 132 of the cyclists completed the challenge in the 24 hour time period, and even though it wasn’t a race Jason was extremely proud to finish in 60th position.

So far, Jason has managed to raise an impressive £1031 in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported him.

  • 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.
