    Howards Employee Takes on Five Nations Sponsored Bike Ride

    Daniel Sparks recently embarked on a journey of 1,000 miles across five nations, find out more here...

Daniel Sparks, Parts Advisor at Howards Citroen and Honda in Taunton, together with his two friends Tom and Nick, will be taking on a strenuous bike ride in June. Cycling from John o’ Groats in Scotland through to Northern Ireland and Ireland, they will then travel then across to Wales before finally making the long cycling journey down to Lands-End at the tip of the Cornish coast.

The overall trip will cover a distance of 1,000 miles and a total elevation which extends over the height of Mount Everest. They aim to complete this challenge over the course of 17 days of cycling, with a couple of days rest in-between.

Daniel Sparks commented, “This ride would not be possible without the help of companies like Howards Citroen who have generously supplied us with one of their vehicles to get us up to the top to start the ride, Howards Honda who have donated a full tank of fuel. And also the bicycle chain Bridgwater for offing us discount on all the necessary gear for the ride.”

Daniel and his friends are attempting this challenge to aid and raise as much money as they can for local charities St Margret’s Somerset Hospice and Children’s Hospice South West. Both charities have been helping the people of the local community for many years and rely on public support to be able to continue their good work.

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group 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 allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group 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 lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers 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. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

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