Leading fleet insurance brokers Staveley Head have welcomed the news that the motor charity BEN plans to launch a new Fleet Disposal Contribution Plan (FDCP). This will see lease and rental agencies working with auction houses, in order to raise money for selected good causes when disposing of vehicles. It is expected that around GBP 1 for each sale will be donated to charity.
A number of major companies in the motor trade have already pledged their support and are expected to sign up for the scheme. The plan has been designed to be as simple as possible for all parties and has been praised for its sustainable nature.
One of the UK’s largest auction houses, BCA are among those who have joined. Managing Director Andrew Hulme stated: “BCA have been staunch supporters of BEN over many years and this is another way in which the sector can help to provide increased funding to the industry charity.”
Among the leasing firms who have signed up, are Leaseplan, with David Brennan, Managing Director commenting: “Leaseplan are very pleased to be able to support BEN in this way. A small contribution for each car sold will, collectively, provide a significant income steam for BEN and enable it to continue caring for our industry colleagues.”
