The annual BEN cricket match, co-sponsored by FPS and Comma and supported by the IAAF, successfully took place Thursday 23 June at Dorridge Cricket club near Solihull, raising money for those in need within the independent aftermarket.
BEN is a not-for-profit organisation, exclusively available to those who work, or have worked, in the automotive industry, as well as their family dependents. The specialist charity provides practical help, support and advice resulting in a substantial impact upon the lives of current or former industry employees.
Wendy Williamson, IAAF chief executive, said: “As a leading supporter of automotive charity, BEN, we are extremely pleased by the high number of aftermarket individuals who got involved in this year’s annual cricket match.”
A total of £5517 was raised on the day and the winning team on the day was Autoparts & Diagnostics, with Best Player awarded to Mark Northeast from Ferdinand Bilstein UK Ltd who played in the FPS & Friends Team.
