Car retail industry leaders from Marshall Motor Holdings and JCT600 are set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the Ben charity’s latest fund-raising challenge.
Billed as the charity’s biggest-ever Industry Leader Challenge (ILC) fundraiser, The Climb will aim to raise £300,000 when participants bid to reach the African mountain’s summit from October 30 to November 8.
Ben is now inviting more automotive leaders and aspiring leaders to come forward and take part in The Climb in a bid to maximise the impact of the fund-raising challenge.
JCT600 chief executive John Tordoff and director of customer experience Andy Bateman have already signed-up to represent the car retail sector by taking on the challenge alongside Marshall commercial development director Adrian Wallington and VW divisional head of sales Clive McGregor.

The next five years will see big shifts in the distribution model for many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as many look to cut costs and shrink networks to the best performers, ramp up in electric vehicle (EV) volumes and put even greater emphasis on omni-channel retailing.
However, there was a consensus from the consultants AM spoke with, ICDP, ASE Global and UHY Hacker Young, that OEMs still very much want to work with regionals in the future.
